E8-14386. Public Notice For Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; MBS International Airport, Saginaw, Michigan

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 MBS International Airport (MBS) from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. The proposal consists of the sale of vacant, unimproved land owned by the MBS International Airport Commission (Commission).

The Commission has requested from FAA a “Release from Federal agreement obligated land covenants” to sell a portion of Parcel 6 which was acquired on March 14, 1949, under Instrument of Transfer from the United States of America, acting by and through the War Assets Administrator, to the Cities of Saginaw, Bay City, and Midland (recorded in Liber 802, pages 206-216).

There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the Commission to dispose of the vacant property. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the disposal of the airport property nor a determination of eligibility 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.

DATES:

Comments must be received on or before July 28, 2008.
