Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; 
Gerald R. Ford International Airport; Grand Rapids, 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 the airport from aeronautical use to 
non-aeronautical use. The proposal consists of one parcel of land, 
totaling approximately 6.2 acres. 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 utilizing 
federal funds under Grant 9-20-072-6001, dated April 13, 1961. 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 Policy 
and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the 
Federal Register on February 16, 1999. This proposal is for 
approximately 6.2 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 leased to allow for a 
new public military air museum and technical aviation education 
facility. The proposed land is South of John J. Oostema Blvd. and East 
of Patterson Avenue. The proposed buildings will not exceed 45 feet 
above ground level at the site. The proposed buildings will be required 
to meet FAA airspace requirements prior to construction. Currently, 
this location and use does not appear to impact current FAA safety 
requirements or future airport development. The proceeds from the 
leases of land will be used for airport improvements and operation 
expenses at Gerald R. Ford International Airport.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 27, 2001.
