Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance Austin Straubel International Airport Green Bay, WI

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION:

Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land.

SUMMARY:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. Brown County, Wisconsin, as airport sponsor, is seeking release of 5.08 acres of land (hereafter referred to as the “parcel”) from compliance with assurances attached as conditions to Federal grant agreements. The parcel is located north of State Trunk Highway No. 172, and directly east of and adjacent to lands owned by the Oneida Nation. The parcel is presently undeveloped.

The parcel was originally acquired by Brown County in fee simple from a private seller in 1958 using local airport revenue sources. No Federal or State dollars were used in the acquisition. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property. The Oneida Nation, as prospective purchaser of the parcel, intends to utilize the parcel to allow for continued development of their existing convention facility. Approval does not constitute a commitment to the FAA to financially assist in the disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination of eligibility 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.

DATES:

Comments must be received on or before April 8, 2005.
