Notice of Intent To Issue a Release of Obligations on Surplus 
Property at Elmira-Corning Regional Airport, Elmira, NY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is publishing notice of the proposed release of 13 
parcels of land, totaling approximately 21.1 acres, at Elmira-Corning 
Regional Airport, to allow their sale to the New York State Department 
of Transportation (NYSDOT) for the construction of a full-serve 
cloverleaf interchange at Kahler Road/NYS Route 17, as part of the 
Interstate Highway designation of Route 17.
    Eleven of the subject 13 parcels of airport property were acquired 
between 1959 and 1981, with federal funding participation through the 
Airport Improvement Program (AIP), and its predecessor, the Airport 
Development and Planning Program (ADAP). The 2 other parcels were 
acquired by the Chemung County, the owner of the airport, without 
federal funding participation.
    FAA's action is to release theland parcels from the deed provisions 
requiring aeronautical use of the property. These properties are not 
needed for current airport use, nor will they be needed for any future 
aeronautical use, based on the Elmira-Corning Regional Airport Layout 
Plan.
    The NYSDOT will purchase the 21.1 acres from Chemung County at the 
Fair Market Value of $464,650. Chemung County will use these funds for 
the maintenance, operation and capital development of the Elmira-
Corning Regional Airport.
    Any comments the agency receives will be considered as a part of 
the decision.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 12, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered in 
triplicate to the FAA at the following address: Philip Brito, Manager,
