The Kodiak Launch Complex (KLC) is a proposed commercial space rocket launch facility to be located on Kodiak Island, Alaska. The purpose of this environmental assessment is to examine the potential for environmental impacts resulting from proposed KLC construction and operation. The proposed KLC would support commercial rocket launches to place small satellites into orbit. Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation (AADC), established by the Alaska State Legislature as a public corporation located for administrative purposes within the Alaska Department of Commerce and Economic Development, would be responsible for construction and operation of the proposed KLC. The Secretary of Transportation has been authorized by the Commercial Space Launch Act to oversee and coordinate U.S. commercial launch activities. The Secretary is implementing this authority through the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of the Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (OCST); the proposed KLC would be licensed through this office. This environmental assessment will provide input to the OCST's determination regarding issuance of the KLC license.
