Did the FAA fine NASA when they rained bits of space shuttle across the whole state?

Boca Chica, TX, about 20 miles from Brownsville. From what I've read, NASA had no presence there and SpaceX built their facility from scratch. SpaceX has made offers to buy out all property owners in Boca Chica at 3X the appraised value.

They also have not complained about SpaceX

Ah, I thought they were doing the testing from from the same place they've been launching the Starlink missions from, which is a NASA facility. I never thought to check that.

In articles from 2019, there were only about 35 homes in Boca Chica, TX when SpaceX began building their launch facility on the beach. SpaceX offered to buy out all property owners at 3X the appraised value of their property.
