   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.
