Federal Aviation Administration September 3, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This action proposes to modify Class E airspace at Portland International Airport, Portland, OR. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using the Localizer/Distance Measuring Equipment (LOC/DME) for Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) at Portland International Airport, Portland, OR. The FAA is proposing this action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

This action proposes to remove VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) Federal airway V-284, which extends between the Sea Isle, NJ and Cedar Lake, NJ, VHF omnidirectional range/tactical navigation (VORTAC) facilities. The FAA is proposing this action due to low demand for use of the airway.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is giving notice that the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, is requesting a portion of the airport (3.349 acres, a portion of Area A and Tract 13) as ``right-of-way'' for the improvement along Route 13 and at the intersection of Route 13 and Route 148. The above-mentioned land is not needed for aeronautical use, as shown on the Airport Layout Plan. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property. Area A was purchased without federal funds in 1946 and Tract 13 was purchased in 1957 through Grant 9-11-0066105. 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. The release of the land in fee simple title, to Illinois Department of Transportation will be used as right-of-way along Route 13 and at the intersection of Route 13 and Route 148.
