2013-15130. Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:

Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land; Morris Municipal Airport, Morris, Illinois.

SUMMARY:

The FAA is considering a proposal to change a 0.747-acre portion of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of airport property located at Morris Municipal Airport, Morris, Illinois.

The subject portion of airport property considered for release from obligation to be maintained for aeronautical use and sale includes a 0.346-acre portion of Parcel G (110.55 total acres) and 0.401-acre portion of Parcel C2 (73.27 total acres) that are located in the west quadrant of the airport along Illinois Route 47 and currently not being used directly for aeronautical purposes. Currently, ownership of the property provides for protection of FAR Part 77 surfaces and compatible land use which would continue to be protected with deed restrictions required in the transfer of land ownership. The change from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use would allow for the widening of Route 47 which is directly adjacent to the airport. The aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use.

DATES:

Comments must be received on or before July 25, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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.

Existing Parcel G was originally acquired under AIP Grant 3-17-SBGP-SB91 in July, 1991, and Parcel C2 was originally acquired under AIP Grant 3-17-SBGP-74 in December, 2012, with the subject portions of those parcels currently used for FAR Part 77 protection and to ensure compatible land use. The City of Morris plans to sell the subject property to the Illinois Department of Transportation—Division of Highways for the purpose of widening Route 47 adjacent to the airport. Fair Market Value will be obtained from the sale of the subject property.

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. The use of the revenue generated from the sale 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 (64 FR 7696).
