Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance, 
Houlton International Airport, Houlton, ME

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for Public Comments. Notice of intent of waiver with 
respect to land.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is requesting public comment on the Town of Houlton's 
request to dispose of a portion of airport property (two parcels 
consisting of 2 acres each known as 108 and 136 White Settlement Road, 
Houlton, Maine) no longer needed for aeronautical use, as shown on the 
Airport Layout Plan. The properties requested for disposition are each 
improved with privately owned residences. The airport leases the 
underlying land to the homeowners. There appear to be no impacts to the 
airport by allowing the disposal of the property. The 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.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 22, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review by appointment by 
contacting Charles Upton, Director of Community
