Public Notice For Waiver Of Aeronautical Land-use Assurance Fort Wayne International Airport, Fort Wayne, IN

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION:

Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land.

SUMMARY:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change portions of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. The proposal consists of a 4.0-acre portion of Parcel 6-4 and a 2.6758-acre portion of Parcel 5-19. Presently the land is vacant and used as open land for control of FAR Part 77 surfaces and compatible land use and is not needed for aeronautical use, as shown on the Airport Layout Plan. Parcel 6-4 (80.14 acres) was acquired in 1993 without Federal participation. Parcel 5-19 (22.00 acres) was obtained from the United States of America by Warranty Deed dated June 29, 1949. The release of the 2.6758-acre portion of Parcel 5-19 will require the coordination and approval of the United States of America (Department of Defense). It is the intent of the Fort Wayne—Allen County Airport Authority (FWACAA) to sell the 4.0-acre portion of Parcel 6-4 and the 2.6758-acre portion of Parcel 5-19. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the FWACAA to dispose of the property. This notice announces that the FAA intends to authorize the disposal of the subject airport property at Fort Wayne International Airport, Fort Wayne, IN. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination that all measures covered by the program are eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the disposal of the airport property will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 1999.

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 aeronautical purpose.

DATES:

Comments must be received on or before October 4, 2004.
