SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The FAA invites public comment on the request to release the aeronautical use only grant provision for improvements to an existing public boat ramp west of runway 13 operated by the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities has requested from the FAA that a portion of airport property already in use as a public boat ramp be retroactively released for non-aeronautical use. This release will also accommodate a proposed expansion of the boat ramp public parking area. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough operates the boat ramp as a public service and no payment to the airport is proposed. The FAA has determined that the release of the property will not likely adversely impact future aviation needs at the airport, though the expanded parking area will affect the sponsors ability to seek lower approach minimums. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, no sooner than 30 days after the publication of this notice.

This release is considered to be for the benefit of the community and will not generate revenue.

Issued in Anchorage, Alaska, on May 9, 2019.

Director, Alaskan Region Airports Division FAA.
