AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

The FAA is considering a request from the Tulsa Airport Improvement Trust to change approximately 241.72 acres, located on the east side of the airport bordered by North Mingo Road, 46th Street and Mingo Valley Expressway, from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the conversion of the airport property.

DATES:

Comments must be received on or before May 5, 2023.

ADDRESSES:

Send comments on this document to Mr. Glenn Boles, Federal Aviation Administration, Arkansas/Oklahoma Airports District Office Manager, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177. Email: [e-mail].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ms. Alexis Higgins, Chief Executive Officer of Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust, 7777 East Apache, Suite A217, Tulsa, OK 74115, telephone [phone]; or Mr. Glenn Boles, Federal Aviation Administration, Arkansas/Oklahoma Airports District Office Manager, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177, telephone [phone]. Email: [e-mail].

Documents reflecting this FAA action may be reviewed at the above locations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The proposal consists of three parcels of land that were originally acquired under the following Federal grants: Airport Development Aid Program (ADAP) No. 6–40–0099–015 in 1978 and Airport Improvement Program (AIP) No. 3–40–0099–073–2009 in 2009.

The land comprising these parcels is outside the forecasted need for aviation development and is not needed for indirect or direct aeronautical use. The Airport wishes to develop this land for compatible non-aeronautical use. The Airport will retain ownership of this land and ensure the protection of part 77 surfaces and compatible land use. The income from the conversion of these parcels will benefit the aviation community by reinvestment in the airport.

Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the conversion of the subject airport property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the conversion 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.

Issued in Fort Worth, TX.

Acting Director, Airports Division, FAA, Southwest Region.
