July 28 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday proposed speeding approvals of commercial space licenses, allowing the agency to waive environmental and other requirements from 13 federal laws.
The FAA said the rule if finalized would allow the agency to waive requirements under the Endangered Species Act, parts of the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, and other environmental and natural resource laws in a bid "to simplify and expedite commercial space licensing."
