{"abstract":"The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is requesting public comment on the Delaware River and Bay Authority's (DRBA) request to grant the Delaware Department of Transportation a permanent easement on 2.424 +/- acres of airport property along portions of Old Churchman's Road bordering a portion of the Airport property perimeter for roadway improvements. The 2.424 +/- acres land covered by the purposed easement will no longer be dedicated for aviation use by the New Castle Airport. The DRBA, as operator of the New Castle Airport (ILG), has proposed the extension of Taxiway \"H\" and the development of an approximate thirty-eight (38) acre parcel of airport property on the southeasterly side of Old Churchman's Road for aviation related purposes. The Thirty- Eight Acre Parcel is currently undeveloped and separated from the main airport property by Old Churchman's Road. In order to gain connectivity and access to the Thirty-Eight Acre Parcel and allow for the extension of Taxiway \"H\" and future development, 0.610 +/- acres of Old Churchman's Road must be vacated by the Delaware Department of Transportation and returned to New Castle County as fee owner for aeronautical use. Once the 0.610+/- acres of Old Churchman's Road is vacated, future road improvements to include, but not limited to, the upgrade of Old Churchman's Road from Route 13 to the easterly boundary of the Thirty-Eight Acre Parcel, the construction of a public road connecting Old Churchman's Road and New Churchman's Road at the eastern boundary of the Thirty-Eight Acre Parcel, and the construction of certain improvements along New Churchman's Road can be made on the proposed 2.424 +/- acre easement area. This will allow Delaware Department of Transportation to bring portions of Old Churchman's Road up to standards and accommodate a new connector from Old Churchman's Road to New Churchman's Road. The 2.424 +/- acre parcel is located at New Castle Airport (ILG), New Castle, DE, situated northwesterly of Dupont Highway, U.S. Route 13 and northeasterly of New Churchman's Road, Delaware State Road 58, New Castle Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware. The parcel is comprised of several small, narrow, Right-of-Way easement \"strips\" totaling 2.424 +/- acres in aggregate and is generally located along Old Churchman's Road commencing at Route 13 and running in a westerly direction to the easterly property line of the Thirty-Eight Acre Parcel. The property is currently depicted on the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) of record as airport property and consists of five sections of narrow strips of land varying 1.272 acres to 0.054 acres. The strips of land are parts of Tax Parcel No. 10-018.00-006. These areas, totaling 2.424 +/-, acres are not required for aeronautical use and can be used for road improvements.","action":"Request for public comment.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Aviation Administration","name":"Federal Aviation Administration","id":159,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-aviation-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/159","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-aviation-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2012/02/10/2012-3148.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"77 FR 7231","comment_url":"http://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FAA-2012-0166-0001","comments_close_on":"2012-03-12","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received on or before March 12, 2012.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2012-3148","effective_on":null,"end_page":7232,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2012/02/10/2012-3148.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/02/10/2012-3148/public-notice-for-release-of-aeronautical-property-at-new-castle-airport-ilg-new-castle-de","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2012-3148?publication_date=2012-02-10","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2012-02-10/2012-3148/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":28,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 22:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-02-10/pdf/2012-3148.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2012-03148.pdf?1328795390","publication_date":"2012-02-10","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2012/02/10/2012-3148.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FAA-2012-0166","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"FAA-2012-0166","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Public Notice for Release of Aeronautical Property at New Castle \r\nAirport (ILG), New Castle, DE","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-03-01T18:08:21Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":"http://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FAA-2012-0166-0001","significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":7231,"subtype":null,"title":"Public Notice for Release of Aeronautical Property at New Castle Airport (ILG), New Castle, DE","toc_doc":"New Castle Airport (ILG), New Castle, DE","toc_subject":"Release of Aeronautical Property:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":77}
