I don't know if @SawyerMerritt is a reliable source but according to him no FAA investigation is required before giving a launch license for SpaceX's IFT-5.

"The FAA is not requiring an investigation. The FAA assessed the operations of the SpaceX Starship Flight 4 mission. All flight events for both the Starship vehicle and the Super Heavy booster appear to have occurred within the scope of planned and authorized activities."
Of course, after IFT-4, it was never likely that the FAA launch license was much of a problem. Upgrades SpaceX will want to do will take much more time than getting a launch license.

I tend to agree that no investigation will be necessary and that getting a launch license will be a mere formality.

So SpaceX seems to aim early August.

Yeah, well, Elon Time. Mid-to-late August is the outside optimistic projection, since Ship 30 is still only partly dressed, and a catch means revised license from FAA.
Booster 12 rolled out today; cryo testing imminent.
Snidely submitted this gripping article, maybe on Tuesday:

Some sort of testing today (7 come 11) involving what seems to be a small amount of cryo (LOX) and venting.
