Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance, Grosse Ile Municipal Airport, Grosse Ile, 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 land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use. The proposal consists of two parcels of land; one 1.412 acre parcel designated as building Parcel and one parcel designated as Grazing Parcel, together totaling approximately 7.539 acres. Current use and present condition is vacant grassland. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to lease the property. The land was acquired as part of transferred surplus property formerly known as the Naval Air Station, Grosse Ile; Quitclaim Deed dated December 3, 1970. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the lease 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 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 7.539 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 leased (Building Parcel) to allow for the construction of a 5,000 square foot barn facility solely for the purpose of breeding and raising of alpacas and related purposes and to (Grazing Parcel) allowing for the grazing of alpacas. The proposed land is South of Groh Road and West of East River Road. The proposed building and other structures will not exceed Part 77 standards. The proposed property location does not impact current safety areas or future airport development. The proceeds from the lease of land will be used for airport improvements and operation expenses at Grosse Ile Municipal Airport.

DATES:

Comments must be received on or before September 7, 2001.
