DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of a Land Release Affecting
Federal Grant Assurance Obligations
at Tucson International Airport,
Tucson, Pima County, Arizona
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of a Land Release.
AGENCY:
The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) proposes to rule
and invites public comment on the
application for a land release of
approximately 60 acres of airport
property at Tucson International
Airport, Tucson, Pima County, Arizona
from the aeronautical use provisions of
the Grant Agreement Assurances since
the land is not needed for airport
purposes. The property will be used by
Pima County, Arizona to relocate an
existing roadway that is too close to
United States Air Force Plant Number 4,
a military ordnance manufacturing
facility. The proposed land release will
allow the relocated public roadway to
comply with the military safety
separation standards from the ordnance
facility. The airport will be
compensated for the fair market value of
the land. The use of the land for a
roadway represents a compatible land
use that will not interfere with the
airport or its operation, thereby
protecting the interests of civil aviation.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before January 28, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Comments on the request may be mailed
or delivered to the FAA at the following
address: Mr. Mike N. Williams,
Manager, Airports District Office,

Aviation Administration, Phoenix
Airports District Office, 3800 N. Central

comment submitted to the FAA must be
mailed or delivered to Mr. Eric
Roudebush, Director of Environmental
Services, Tucson Airport Authority,

imposed on a federally obligated airport
by surplus property conveyance deeds
or grant agreements.

The following is a brief overview of
the request:
The Tucson Airport Authority (TAA)
requested a release from the provisions
of the Grant Agreement Assurances to
permit the disposal of approximately 60
acres of land at Tucson International
Airport, Tucson, Pima County, Arizona
to permit the construction of a relocated
replacement roadway by Pima County
(County) to comply with safety arcs
defined by the United States Air Force
(USAF) for USAF Plant Number 44. The
County proposes to relocate a portion of
East Hughes Access Road between the
South Nogales Highway and South
Alvernon Way about 2,500 feet to the
south of its present location so the new
roadway and its users will be outside
the designated safety zones used by the
United States Air Force Plant Number
44 to keep the public a safe distance
from an ordnance plant. The Tucson
Airport Authority will sell the land,
about 3 miles in length, that is obligated
by Airport Improvement Program grants.
In return, TAA will be compensated for
the fair market value of the right of way
property. In addition, when the old
roadway is abandoned, TAA will have
its rights restored to the portions that it
originally owned. The use of the land
for a roadway is a compatible land use
that will not interfere with or impede
the operations and development of the
airport. Based on the benefits of fair
compensation and enhanced public
safety, the interests of civil aviation will
be properly served.
