Federal Aviation Administration


Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; W.K. 
Kellogg Airport, Battle Creek, Michigan

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. The proposal consists of three parcels of land 
designated as Parcel No. 50 (.436 acres), Parcel No. 51 (.379 acres), 
and Parcel No. 52 (.245 acres) together totalling approximately 1.06 
acres for a permanent roadway easement. Current use and present 
condition is vacant grassland. There are no impacts to the airport by 
allowing the airport to dispose of the property. The land was acquired 
under FAA Project No. 9-20-040-6003. Approval does not constitute a 
commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the 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 the 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. The proposed land will 
be sold in fee as a permanent roadway easement to provide improvements 
for traffic circulation around the airport--specifically for the right-
of-way for additional turn lanes and roadway drainage. The proceeds 
from the sale of the land will be used for airport improvements and 
operational expenses at W. K. Kellogg Airport.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 25, 2001.
