voluntary agreements and/or mandatory restrictions on Stage 2 and Stage

of a restriction.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 30,000 hours annually.

customers.
    Abstract: The FAA Office of the Associate Administrator for 
Commercial Space Transportation (AST) conducts this survey in order to
