06-4329. Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; Rickenbacker International Airport, Columbus, OH

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 designated aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and authorize the release of approximately 70.463 acres of airport property. Approximately 69.903 acres of the property will be used as dedicated road right-of-way associated with Phase 1B of the Alum Creek Drive Extension to Franklin County for public transportation purposes. The remaining 0.56 acres of land will be used for land exchange with South Central Power Company. A small portion of the land is currently developed with existing roadways and four existing structures that formerly supported military base activities. The parcel was acquired by the Rickenbacker Port Authority through three agreements (Quitclaim Deeds) dated March 30, 1984, September 22, 2003 and May 16, 2005 from the United States of America. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property. The roadways currently support civilian airport activities. The present condition of the existing roadway pavements varies from poor to excellent. The present condition of the four existing structures are: Building 904—Sanitary sewer lift station for military cantonment area is currently in use, is in fair condition and will remain in use; Building 905 (Warehouse/Tank Control)—not in use, to be demolished; Building 906 (Warehouse Tank port)—Not in use, to be demolished; Building 812 (Former Base Exchange)—Not in use, to be demolished. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. 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 June 8, 2006.
