[FR Doc. 2014–29269 Filed 12–16–14; 8:45 am]
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 conversion of the airport property.
The proposal consists of one parcel of
land containing a total of approximately
3.09 acres located on the east side of the
airport, along FM 758.
The parcel was originally acquired as
federal surplus property in 1969. The
land comprising this parcel is outside
the forecasted need for aviation
development and, thus, is no longer
needed for indirect or direct
aeronautical use. The airport wishes to
develop this land for compatible
commercial, nonaeronautical use. The
income from the conversion of this
parcel will benefit the aviation
community by reinvestment in the
airport.
Approval does not constitute a
commitment by the FAA to financially
assist in the conversion of the subject
airport property nor a determination of
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from
SUMMARY:
the FAA. The disposition of proceeds
from the conversion 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.

or before January 16, 2015.

document to Mr. Edward N. Agnew,
