00-32523. Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; Livingston County Airport, Howell, 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 airport from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use. The four parcels of land designated as Permanent Easement and Right of Way (2.02 acres), Temporary Work Space (5.22 acres), Additional Temporary Work Space (16.80 acres), and Access Road (0.66 acres) together totaling approximately 24.7 acres is for the installation of a pipeline. General current use and present condition is vacant grassland. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property. Parcel 2 was acquired on 7/15/63, under FAA Project No. 9-20-014-6501, and Parcel 8 was acquired on 4/21/87, under FAA Project No. 3-26-0047-0388.

Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the 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 the 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 proposed land designated “Permanent Easement and Right of Way” will be sold in fee as a permanent easement to allow for the installation of an underground pipeline. The proposed land designated as Temporary Work Space, Additional Temporary Work Space, and Access Road will be a long-term lease through the development of an indefinite easement to allow for storage and installation of underground pipeline. The proceeds from the sale of the land will be used for airport improvements and operational expenses at Livingston County Airport.

DATES:

Comments must be received on or before January 25, 2001.
