This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

The USSF was the lead agency and FAA was a cooperating agency in the preparation of the 2024 Final SEA. Relativity's Proposed Action is to launch its Terran R vehicle from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space Launch Complex 16 following the retirement of its Terran 1 Program. The USSF issued a FONSI and Finding of No Practicable Alternative on January 30, 2024. Relativity is required to obtain a license from FAA to conduct Terran R commercial launch operations at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space Launch Complex 16. The 2024 Final SEA analyzed FAA's issuance of a vehicle operator license to Relativity for Terran R operations as well as FAA's approval of related airspace closures. Following an independent review and consideration of the 2024 Final SEA, FAA has issued a FONSI/ROD concurring with, and formally adopting, the analysis of impacts and findings in the 2024 Final SEA. The FAA has posted the FONSI/ROD to its NEPA website at: https://www.faa.gov/space/environmental/nepa_docs.
Signed in Washington, DC on September 18, 2026.
