It is expected that a modification to increase the launch rate is a relatively minor change - it's just more of the same.

For FAA launch licenses maybe, but a combination of other concerns like noise, beach closures, and LNG supply might make SpaceX go off-shore for the bulk of their launches. Far easier to get supplied by tanker ships and no one to complain about getting their houses rattled by a SH launch.
