SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA

amount of required liability insurance for a reentry operator after 
examining the risk associated with a reentry vehicle, its operational 
capabilities, and its designated reentry site.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 23, 2012.

Launch Vehicle and Reentry Licensing Regulation. A commercial space 
launch services provider must complete the Reusable Launch Vehicle and 
Reentry Licensing Regulation in order to gain authorization for 
conducting reentry activities. The information collection requirement 
enables FAA/AST to determine the amount of required liability insurance 
for a reentry operator after examining the risks associated with a 
reentry vehicle, its operational capabilities, and its designated 
reentry site.
