Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved an interim final rule (IFR) on Export “Administration Regulations: Revisions to Space-Related Export Controls for Changes Made Under Commerce Authorities”. The IFR was sent to OIRA on August 30th, 2024.
This rulemaking was not listed in the Spring 2024 Unified Agenda.
Again, this may be related to a Reuters.com article from last month about intentions of SpaceX to land a Starship rocket off the coast of Australia. That article noted that:
“Discussions in recent weeks between SpaceX executives and U.S. and Australian officials have focused on regulatory hurdles in bringing a recovered Starship booster ashore in a foreign country, the sources said. Because the talks are ongoing, the timing of any Starship landing off Australia remained unclear.”
NOTE: The Reuters article was
reported here, in a Short Takes – Space Geek Edition on July 29th,
2024.
