July 1-3 is what's called NXRS- it's an all research launch geared towards advanced high power and amateur rocketry projects. It's not going to be too crowded like a lot of OROC launches with mostly serious EX rocketry folks flying there. The waiver will be coordinated (I think they're trying for 50k ft...it's at 42k AGL right now) and all of the other logistics taken care of.
It seems like it would be a natural fit for a PSAS launch as I'm sure a lot of the advanced OROC guys would appreciate seeing the PSAS rocket fly, and the PSAS team gets to watch a bunch of other big rockets (M/N/O/P class motors- I'm flying an M to M two stage myself) fly. I think we could easily coordinate a separate launch cell away from the flightline to set up the PSAS site if that would be desired.
