ANNOUNCEMENT 4
Subject: MI/TRANSPORT/Air, MI/LAND - ND. DOT/FAA. Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; Capital Region International Airport, Lansing, MI
[Federal Register Volume 76, Number 62 (Thursday, March 31, 2011)]
[Notices]
[Pages 17986-17987]
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance;
Capital Region International Airport, Lansing, MI
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 the airport from aeronautical use to
non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property.
The proposal consists of remnants from 8 parcels of land, totaling
approximately 7.33 acres. Current use and present condition is
undeveloped land compatible with local commercial/industrial zoning
classification. The land was acquired under the FAA Project Numbers 3-
26-0055-3906, 3-26-0055-4107, and 3-26-0055-44208. The remnants left
from construction activities during airport development are not usable
to the airport due to shape and size. There are no impacts to the
airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property, since the
land is no longer needed for aeronautical use. Subject land may provide
good commercial/industrial development opportunities for the community
and are well outside airport perimeter fence limits. Approval does not
constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the
disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination of
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The disposition of
proceeds from the sale of the airport property will be in accordance
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.
