AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change a portion of the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. The proposal consists of the sale of vacant, unimproved land owned by the City of Cleveland (City). The City has requested from FAA a ‘‘Release from Federal agreement obligated land covenants’’ to sell portions of three (3) parcels. The property proposed for release was acquired by the City without Federal funding. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the City 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-inaid 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.

[Public Notice 5808]


U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law: Working Group I of the United Nations Commission on 
International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Procurement of Goods, 
Construction and Services

    Summary: The Advisory Committee's study group is participating in 
an initiative by the United National Commission for International Trade 
Law (UNCITRAL) to revise the 1994 UNCITRAL Model Law on Procurement of 
Goods, Construction and Services (``Model Procurement Law''), and its 
Guide to Enactment, available at https://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/en/
uncitral_texts/procurement_infrastructure/1994Model.html. The 
UNCITRAL Model Procurement Law is not binding on the United States, but 
it is cited and relied upon in many other nations as a model 
procurement code.
    The reform effort regarding the Model Procurement Law is being 
undertaken by UNCITRAL's Working Group I, which has been meeting twice 
annually, in Vienna and New York, to develop new language for the 
UNCITRAL Model Procurement Law and the Guide to Enactment. The working 
papers that reflect this effort are gathered at the UNCITRAL Web site, 
at https://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/en/commission/working_groups/
1Procurement.html.
    As part of its broader effort to reform the UNCITRAL Model 
Procurement Law to reflect advances in electronic procurement, the 
UNCITRAL working group has made substantial progress in developing new 
provisions in the model law. At its May 2007 meeting in New York, the 
UNCITRAL working group addressed proposed provisions that would: (a) 
Set standards for the use of electronic communications in procurement 
under the UNCITRAL Model Procurement Law; (b) Describe when, and how, 
electronic reverse auctions might be used under the model law; and (c) 
Define rules for the use of indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity 
(``IDIQ'') contracts, generally referred to as ``frameworks 
agreements'' in the European Union and under the proposed changes to 
the Model Procurement Law.
    The provisions under consideration by the working group are 
described in, inter alia, working paper A/CN.9/WG.I/WP.51 (Mar. 13, 
2007), available at the previously referenced Web site. A report on the 
May 2007 meeting is to be published by the UNCITRAL Secretariat at the 
same Web site.
    The Advisory Committee's study group will be holding a public 
meeting to review and discuss the proposed reforms to the UNCITRAL 
Model Procurement Law at The George Washington University Law School 
Faculty Conference Center, 5th Floor 2000 H Street, NW., Washington, DC 
on June 27, 2007 from 1 p.m. EST to 3 p.m. EST. Written comments need 
to be submitted by June 22, 2007 to the Office of Private International 
Law, U.S. Department of State, 2430 E Street, NW., Washington, DC 
20037-2851, attn: Michael Dennis, or by facsimile to 202-776-8482, or 
by electronic mail to DennisMJ@State.gov. Any persons wishing to 
reserve an opportunity to comment at the public meeting should note so 
in a submission to the address above or should call Trisha Smeltzer at 
202-776-8423.

    Dated: June 4, 2007.
