Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; 
Greater Kankakee Airport, Kankakee, IL

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-

[[Page 59298]]

aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. The 
proposal consists of a 16.5-acre portion of Parcel A and all of Parcel 
P (1.6 acres). Presently the land is vacant and used as open land for 
control of FAR Part 77 surfaces and compatible land use and is not 
needed for aeronautical use, as shown on the Airport Layout Plan. There 
are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the 
property. Parcel A (36 acres) was acquired in 1962 under FAAP grant 9-
11-040-05. Parcel P (1.6 acres) was acquired in 1964 under FAAP grant 
5-12-0057-03. It is the intent of the Kankakee Valley Airport Authority 
(KVAA) to sell Parcel A-1 and Parcel P in fee to the County of 
Kankakee. This notice announces that the FAA intends to authorize the 
disposal of the subject airport property at Greater Kankakee Airport, 
Kankakee, IL. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to 
financially assist in 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 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 used by County of Kankakee for the construction of a new 
correctional facility. The construction of a new correctional facility 
will benefit the community. The proceeds from the sale of the land will 
be maintained in an interest bearing account and used for reimbursement 
of land transfer costs and future Airport Improvement Program eligible 
development.

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