Federal Aviation Administration


Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance, 
Detroit City Airport, Detroit, MI

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 airport land from aeronautical use to 
non-aeronautical use and to authorize the lease of the airport 
property. The proposal consists of one parcel of land totaling 
approximately 23.00 acres for a truck parking and storage facility. 
Current use and present condition is vacant grassland. There are no 
impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to lease this property. 
The land was acquired under FAA Project Nos. AIP-3-26-0027-0888 and 
AIP-3-26-0027-1089. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the 
FAA to financially assist in the lease of the subject airport property 
nor a determination that all measures covered by the program are 
eligible for Airport Improvement Program funding from the FAA. The 
disposition of proceeds from the lease 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. This proposal is for approximately 23.00 acres in total.
    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 used for the development of a truck parking and storage facility, 
which will provide additional jobs in an economically challenged area 
and enhance the aesthetics of the surrounding community.
    The proceeds from the lease of the land will be used for airport 
improvements and operational expenses at Detroit City Airport.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 18, 2001.
