Public Notice for a Change in Use of Aeronautical Property at 
Millville Municipal Airport, Millville, New Jersey

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is requesting public comment on the proposed release 
of approximately 140 acres of airport property on the south side of 
Millville Municipal Airport to permit its sale and development of a 
motorsport park. The airport land was deeded to the City of Millville 
under a quitclaim conveyance form the United States. It was later 
transferred to the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA). FAA's 
action is to release the land from the deed provisions requiring 
aeronautical use of the property. The DRBA has stated that it has no 
aeronautical use for the parcel now or in the near future, according to 
the approved Airport Layout Plan. It will also be released from a 
reverter clause in the quitclaim deed. The Fair Market Value for the 
land as determined by appraisals will be paid to the DRBA for the 
maintenance, operation and capital development of the airport.
