Henry Vanderbilt introduced Michelle by saying if you wanted to do commercial launches you need to talk with Michelle.
Michelle showed a video.
Anyone who wants to launch in the US, or any US citizen who wants to launch anywhere in the world needs a license from the FAA. You also need a license if you want to operate a launch site.
Michelle showed the AST organization chart.
The AST-500 is the Operations Integration Division is "your local" AST office. They have staff in DC, CA, FL, TX, VA & soon in NM. They have a pre-application consultation. Michelle encouraged people to come to them as soon as possible.
Once the application is done there are five areas they review: Policy, Payload, Financial Responsibility, Environmental and Safety.
