Parcels 41 and 45 are not serving aeronautical purposes for the airport. Pending the release from aeronautical obligations of parcels 41 and 45 the sponsor anticipates disposing of the land and using the proceeds for aeronautical purposes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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.

Parcel 41 is currently in use as a shooting range, operated by the Cable Rod and Gun Club. Parcel 45 is currently in use as McNaught Road, maintained by the Town of Cable. Parcel 41 and 45 were acquired as airport Parcel 15 by the Sponsors on March 18, 1971, as recorded in Volume 235, Page 285 of the official records of the Bayfield County, Wisconsin Register of Deeds.

The Sponsors proposed plan is to convey Parcel 41, currently not in use or needed for aeronautical purposes, to the Cable Rod and Gun Club for continued use as a shooting range. The plan for Parcel 45, currently not in use or needed for aeronautical purposes, is to convey it to the Town of Cable for continued use as a public roadway.

Prior to disposal there will be avigation easements established over Parcel 41 and 45. These easements will lie under the existing Part 77 surfaces for Runway 8, and will preserve the right of free and unobstructed flight for aircraft maneuvering about the Airport. It will restrict objects from penetrating into the Part 77 surface.

A full narrative appraisal for Parcel 41 has been established and has provided evidence the sponsor will be obtaining fair market value for this parcel. Parcel 45 was not appraised since its current use is roadway and is considered substandard for appraisal purposes. The sponsor considers the value of this parcel to be offset by the Town of Cables 50 plus years of maintenance and improvements at no cost to the airport.

The disposition of proceeds from the sale 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 (64 FR 7696).

This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of the subject airport property at the Cable Union Airport, Cable, WI from federal land covenants, subject to a reservation for continuing right of flight as well as restrictions on the released property as required in FAA Order 5190.6B section 22.16. 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.
