Findings, Observations and Recommendations
BLWG F1:
COMSTAC finds that "spaceflight participants" are not covered by Tier 2 of the CSLA liability regime, while "crew" are covered. The BLWG will examine the subtlety of this distinction.

Findings, Observations and RecommendationsBLWG F2:
COMSTAC finds that the AST contributions to:
- the work on liability limitation for human spaceflight- the NASA insurance task- the GAO indemnification study- the extension of the CSLA liability regime
are all critical components of the changing landscape of commercial space activity. COMSTAC strongly encourages AST’s continuation of -- and, in particular, co-ordination among -- these efforts.

BLWG R1:
COMSTAC recommends that AST facilitate the release of the AST report for the NASA insurance task. This document is a useful and comprehensive reference for the commercial space industry, among others.

COMSTAC strongly recommends that AST uses all reasonable efforts to support extension of the CSLA liability risk-sharing regime. COMSTAC urges extension and offers the support of its members to assist in this effort.
