# §420.47. License modification.

- (a) Upon application or upon its own initiative, the FAA may modify a license to operate a launch site at any time by issuing a license order that adds, removes, or modifies a license term or condition to ensure compliance with the Act and the requirements of this chapter.
- (b) After a license to operate a launch site has been issued, a licensee shall apply to the FAA for modification of its license if:
  - (1) The licensee proposes to operate the launch site in a manner that is not authorized by the license; or
  - (2) The licensee proposes to operate the launch site in a manner that would make any representation contained in the license application that is material to public health and safety or safety of property no longer accurate and complete.
- (c) An application to modify a license shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with [part 413](/cfr/14/part413.md) of this chapter. The licensee shall indicate any part of its license or license application that would be changed or affected by a proposed modification.
- (d) **The FAA approves a modification request that satisfies the requirements of this part.**
- (e) Upon approval of a license modification, the FAA issues either a written approval to the licensee or a license order modifying the license if a stated term or condition of the license is changed, added, or deleted. A written approval has the full force and effect of a license order and is part of the licensing record.
