Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; Jackson County-Reynolds Airport; Jackson, Michigan

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 a portion of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. The proposal consists of four parcels of land; one 3.70 acre parcel designated as Right-of-Way and three other parcels of land designated as Parcel A (1.16 acres), Parcel B (0.46 acres), and Parcel C (0.01 acres) together totaling approximately 1.63 acres for a roadway easement. 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 under FAA Project No. 9-20-046-0804-26. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the sale of the subject airport property nor a determination that all measures covered by the program are eligible for Airport Improvement Program funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the sale of the airport property will be in accordance with the FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 1999. Together this proposal is for approximately 5.33 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 aeronautical purpose. The proposed land will be sold in fee (Parcel Right-of-Way) to allow for a new roadway extension to be built. Parcels A, B, and C will be sold in fee as a permanent roadway easement to allow for operational enhancements for Boardman Road. Boardman Road runs approximately parallel to I-94 between Maynard Road and Airport Road, which will be extended with the sale of the stated parcels. This proposed new extension will have the effect of reducing vehicle traffic along the portion of Airport Road that transverses through the Runway Safety Area (RSA) of Runway 24, in turn increasing safety for the airport. The proceeds from the sale of the land will be used for airport improvements and operation expenses at Jackson County-Reynolds Airport.

DATES:

Comments must be received on or before January 25, 2001.
