02-4629. Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; Central Illinois Regional Airport, Bloomington, IL

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 Parcel C-2, a 4.1 acre portion of Parcel C, and Parcel C-3, a 4.9 acre portion of Parcel C-1. 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. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property. Parcel C (61.9 acres) was acquired in 1966 under FAAP grant 9-11-011-C603. Parcel C-1 (34.72 acres) was acquired in 1966 without federal participation. It is the intent of the Bloomington-Normal Airport Authority (BNAA) to sell Parcel C-2 and Parcel C-3 in fee. This notice announces that the FAA intends to authorize the disposal of the subject airport property at Central Illinois Regional Airport, Bloomington, IL. 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. The proceeds from the sale of the land will be maintained in an interest bearing account and used for reimbursement of Airport Improvement Program eligible development.

DATES:

Comments must be received on or before March 29, 2002.
