This document is a Final Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) prepared by the FAA to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of proposed amendments to the rules governing the certification and operation of light-sport category aircraft and other aircraft with special airworthiness certificates. The assessment is part of the FAA's initiative known as the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) rule, which aims to update regulatory frameworks to better reflect technological advancements and operational needs in the aviation sector. The document outlines the purpose and need for the proposed changes, evaluates environmental impacts, and concludes that the proposed actions will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment, thus negating the need for a more detailed Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

• The proposed rule aims to modernize certification for light-sport aircraft under the MOSAIC initiative.
• The FAA has concluded that the proposed actions will not significantly impact the environment, negating the need for an Environmental Impact Statement.
• The no action alternative would maintain current restrictions on light-sport aircraft certification and operations.
• The assessment covers various environmental impact categories, including noise, air quality, and biological resources, finding no significant adverse effects.
• The document outlines the FAA's commitment to updating regulations to reflect technological advancements and industry needs.
