Notice of Intent To Release Certain Properties From All Terms, 
Conditions, Reservations and Restrictions of a Cancellation of Lease 
and Quitclaim Agreement Between the City of Fernandina Beach and the 
Federal Aviation Administration for the Fernandina Beach Municipal 
Airport, Fernandina Beach, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA hereby provides notice of intent to release certain 
airport properties (approximately 4.9 acres) at the Fernandina Beach 
Municipal Airport, Fernandina Beach, FL from the condition, 
reservations, and restrictions as contained in a Cancellation of Lease 
and Quitclaim agreement between the FAA and the City of Fernandina 
Beach, dated July 9, 1947. The release of property will allow the City 
of Fernandina Beach to dispose of the property for other than 
aeronautical purposes. The property is located in the northwest corner 
of the airport in proximity to the approach of Runways 18 and 31. The 
parcel is currently designated as runway protection zone property. The 
property will be disposed of for the construction of a public-use 
access road to Crane Island. The fair market value of the property has 
been determined by appraisal to be $747,000. The airport will receive 
fair market value for the property, which will be subsequently 
reinvested in another eligible airport improvement project.
    Documents reflecting the Sponsor's request are available, by 
appointment only, for inspection at the City Manager's office and the 
FAA Airports District Office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 125 of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation 
Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) requires the 
FAA to provide an opportunity for public notice and comment prior to 
the ``waiver'' or ``modification'' of a sponsor's Federal obligation to 
use certain airport land for non-aeronautical purposes.

DATES: September 17, 2004.
