Commercial RLV Safety Guidelines
As announced last week at the AST space transportation conference, here are the FAA's Draft Guidelines for Commercial Suborbital Reusable Launch Vehicle Operations with Flight Crew, along with Draft Guidelines for Commercial Suborbital Reusable Launch Vehicle Operations with Space Flight Participants (in PDF).
The Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004 requires the final regulations not later than June 23, 2006.
(By the way, if you prefer these documents in good ol' plain text as opposed to PDF, let me know and I'll e-mail the text right over to you.)
