Federal Aviation Administration August 25, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change a portion of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. The proposal consists of portions of Parcels 4, 5 and 6, totaling 10.688 acres, and an easement on a 0.88-acre portion of Parcel 5. Presently the land is vacant and used as open land for control of FAR Part 77 surfaces and compatible land use and is not needed for aeronautical use, as shown on the Airport Layout Plan. The Parcels were acquired with Federal participation. It is the intent of the Village of Lake in the Hills, as owner and operator of the Lake in the Hills Airport (3CK) to sell portions of Parcels 4, 5 & 6 (10.688 Acres) in fee to the City of Crystal Lake, McHenry County Division of Transportation (McHDOT), and McHenry County Conservation District (MCCD), based on local jurisdiction, for the relocation of Pyott Road. 3CK would also grant a permanent easement for utilities to the City of Crystal Lake (0.88 acres). 3CK would, in return, receive the 15.838 acres of land, in fee, from the City of Crystal Lake, McHDOT and MCCD. This notice announces that the FAA is considering the proposal to authorize the disposal of the subject airport property at the Lake in the Hills Airport, Lake in the Hills, IL. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination that all measures covered by the program are eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. 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.

This action modifies Class E airspace at Shelby, MT, to accommodate aircraft using Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at Shelby Airport. This improves the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
