SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal to change a portion of the
airport from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the
lease of the airport property. The
proposal consists of 1 parcel of land,
totaling approximately 3.6 acres.
Current use and present condition is
undeveloped land compatible with local
commercial/industrial zoning
classification. The land was acquired
under part of the property from the City
of Escanaba deeded to Delta County for
airport use. There are no impacts to the
airport by allowing the airport to lease
of the property. Subject land may
provide good commercial/industrial
development opportunities for the
community and are well outside airport
perimeter fence limits. Approval does
not constitute a commitment by the
FAA to financially assist in the lease of
the subject airport property nor a
determination of eligibility for grant-inaid funding from the FAA. The
disposition of proceeds from the lease of
the airport property will be in
accordance 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 October 28, 2005.
