Finding of No Significant Impact

The FAA prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation's (AADC) proposal to construct and operate a launch site at Narrow Cape on Kodiak Island, Alaska, and issued a proposed Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for public comment on June 25, 1996, for 30 days. After reviewing and analyzing currently available data and information on existing conditions, project impacts, and measures to mitigate those impacts, and after considering public comments, the Office of the Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (AST) has determined that licensing the operation of the proposed launch site is not a major Federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. Therefore the preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required and AST is issuing a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).
