Aviation Administration to approve a request from the Town of Pollock, 
Louisiana, to close the airport as a public airport; and release the 
town from any term, condition, reservation, or restriction contained in 
a surplus property conveyance or transfer document, and from any order 
or finding by the Department of Transportation on the use and repayment

airport. the town of Pollock shall obtain fair market value for the 
sale of the airport property and shall immediately upon receipt 
transfer all such proceeds from the sale of the airport property to the
