The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change a portion of the MBS International Airport (MBS) from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property.

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.
