Summary

In accordance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 United States Code 1531 et seq.), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prepared this Biological Assessment (BA) to analyze the potential effects of issuing commercial space licenses or permits to SpaceX on ESA-listed species and designated critical habitat under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). This BA is intended to support formal consultation between the FAA and USFWS as required by ESA Section 7 and 50 Code of Federal Regulations § 402.14(c). This BA also supports informal consultation regarding species that may be affected but are not likely to be adversely affected by the FAA’s Proposed Action.
