Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land.

SUMMARY:

The proposal consists of one parcel of land, totaling approximately 6.2 acres. Current use and present condition is vacant grassland. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property. The land was acquired utilizing federal funds under Grant 9-20-072-6001, dated April 13, 1961.

The disposition of proceeds from the lease of the airport property will be in accordance with the FAA Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 1999. This proposal is for approximately 6.2 acres in total.

In accordance with section 47107(h) of Title 49, United States Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal Register 30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires the property to be used for an Start Printed Page 39221aeronautical purpose.
