Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The original estimates of the number of reentry licenses (3) were decreased (to 1) to reflect an estimate of greater objectivity and realism regarding the actual capabilities of the commercial space sector. The prior estimate was higher because the timing of the predicted events were further into the future than they are today, thereby increasing the uncertainy of that earlier estimate. Additionally, sufficient time has passed that a more realistic (and more certain) estimate can be made based on the progress demonstrated by the commercial space sector companies.
