ACTION: Request for public comments. Notice of intent of waiver with

SUMMARY: The FAA is requesting public comment on the Town of Houlton's 
request to dispose of a portion of airport property (approximately 1.66 
acres known as 42 Airport Road, Houlton, Maine) no longer needed for 
aeronautical use, as shown on the Airport Layout Plan. The property 
requested for disposition is currently vacant and will be sold to an 
abutter for use in expansion of an ongoing business. There appear to be

land was transferred from the federal government as Surplus Property by 
Quitclaim Deed dated under July 14, 1947 and Supplemental Quitclaim 
Deed dated July 31, 1948.
    Proceeds from the sale of the airport property will be used for 
Airport purposes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 125 of The Wendell H. Ford Aviation 
Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21) requires the
