On September 4, 2013, (Site A) and December 20, 2013 (Site B), the FAA determined that the request to lease airport property for non-aeronautical purpose at the Barnstable Municipal Airport-Boardman/Polando Field Airport (HYA), Massachusetts, PO 00000 Frm 00113 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 submitted by the Barnstable Municipal Airport met all procedural requirements. This parcel of land was acquired with Federal participation. It is undeveloped property located on the airfield north of Runway 15–33 (Site A, approximately 17.6 acres), on the perimeter of the airport land and abutting conservation land, as well as, property location north of Runway 6–24 (Site B, approximately 35.95 acres). These parcels are accessible only by driveways on airport property and not from public or private ways outside of the airport. The proposed lease to CVEC will permit CVEC to install solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays. The lease of the property will be at fair market value for non-aeronautical uses in accordance with the FAA’s Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue (64 FR 7696). All proceeds from the lease are considered airport revenue and subject to the conditions and requirement set forth in 49 U.S.C. Section 47107(b). While the parcel was originally purchased using Federal grant money, the airport operator does not have current plans to use the land for airport development. This proposed use will still serve an aeronautical benefit by preventing further development that could interfere with normal airport operations. The proposed solar PV array was analyzed by the FAA under its Part 77 Airspace Review process (14 CFR Part 77), and the FAA concluded that the proposed array will not interfere with normal airport operations. In addition to the revenue generation for the airport, the airport sponsor will also receive state environmental credits with the installation of the solar PV arrays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), 
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be 
published in the Federal Register not less than 30 days before the 
Secretary may waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated

proposal to release property at the Barnstable Municipal/Polando Field 
Airport under the provisions of AIR 21.
    The airport operator has proposed to change 53.55 acres of airport 
land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use. The airport 
proposes to then lease the property to Cape and Vineyard Electrical 
Company (CVEC), Massachusetts, to permit the installation of solar 
photovoltaic (PV) arrays for the collection of energy. The lease will 
generate additional airport revenue. On September 4, 2013, (Site A) and 
December 20, 2013 (Site B), the FAA determined that the request to 
lease airport property for non-aeronautical purpose at the Barnstable 
Municipal Airport-Boardman/Polando Field Airport (HYA), Massachusetts, 
submitted by the Barnstable Municipal Airport met all procedural 
requirements.
    This parcel of land was acquired with Federal participation. It is 
undeveloped property located on the airfield north of Runway 15-33 
(Site A, approximately 17.6 acres), on the perimeter of the airport 
land and abutting conservation land, as well as, property location 
north of Runway 6-24 (Site B, approximately 35.95 acres). These parcels 
are accessible only by driveways on airport property and not from

CVEC will permit CVEC to install solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays. The 
lease of the property will be at fair market value for non-aeronautical

Use of Airport Revenue (64 FR 7696). All proceeds from the lease are 
considered airport revenue and subject to the conditions and 
requirement set forth in 49 U.S.C. Section 47107(b).
    While the parcel was originally purchased using Federal grant 
money, the airport operator does not have current plans to use the land 
for airport development. This proposed use will still serve an
