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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to rule and invite public comment on the

the FAA at the following address: Mr. J. Wade Bryant, Manager, Federal 
Aviation Administration, Northwest Mountain Region, Seattle Airports 
District Office, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Suite 250, Renton, Washington 
98055-4056.
    In addition, one copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jeff Winter, Project Manager, 
Federal Aviation Administration, Northwest Mountain Region, Seattle 
Airports District Office, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Suite 250, Renton,

    The request to release property may be reviewed in person at this 
same location, by appointment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release property at the Snohomish County Airport/Paine Field 
under the provisions of the AIR 21.
    On May 30, 2002, the FAA determined that the request to release 
property at Snohomish County Airport/Paine Field submitted by the 
county met the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations, Part 155. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in 
part, no later than July 22, 2002.
    The following is a brief overview of the request.
    The Smohomish County Airport/Paine Field requests the release of 
14.50 acres of non-aeronautical airport property to the Snohomish 
County Parks Department. The purpose of this release is to transfer 
land, which has been predominately leased by the Parks Department from 
the airport for nearly 20 years. The Parks Department plans to continue 
to use the property as a little league ballpark facility. The parcel 
proposed for sale has not been used for aviation purposes and no 
aeronautical use of the property is planned or anticipated. Snohomish 
County, a political subdivision of the State of Washington, on behalf 
of the Snohomish County Airport/Paine Field requests the release from 
the terms, conditions, reservations, and restrictions imposed upon the 
property deeded to the Airport by the United States of America, and the 
release of the subject property from any assurances of the County as 
sponsor as contained in any FAAP, ADAP, or AIP grant agreement. The 
release of the property will benefit the users of the airport as the 
fair market value revenues generated from the sale of this property 
will be applied to offset costs incurred by the airport for the 2000 
Runway Safety Area Project. Any person may inspect the request in 
person at the FAA office listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    In addition, any person may, upon request, inspect the application, 
notice and other documents germane to the application in person at the 
Snohomish County Airport, 3220--100th Street, SW., Everett, Washington 
98204-1390.

    Issued in Renton, Washington on May 30, 2002.
J. Wade Bryant,
Manager, Seattle Airports District Office.
