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.
    One June 6, 2005, 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 31, 2005.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Snohomish County Airport/Paine Field requests the release of 
0.99 acres of non-aeronautical airport property to the Snohomish County 
Public Works Department. The purpose of this release is to transfer 
ownership to the Public Works Department for expansion of the existing 
Beverly Park Road, the major arterial on the southeasterly side of the 
airport running from Airport Road to State Route 525. Snohomish County, 
a political subdivision of the State of Washington, on behalf of the 
Snohomish County Airport at Paine Field requests the release from the 
terms, conditions, reservations, and restrictions imposed upon the 
property deeded to the Airport by the United State or America, and the 
release of the subject property from any assurances of the County as 
sponsor as contained in the Surplus Property Act of 1944 and any FAAP, 
ADAP, or AIP grant agreement. The release of the property will benefit 
the users of the airport as it will reduce traffic congestion in the 
immediate vicinity of the airport. In addition, revenue generated from 
the sale will be applied to offset the costs incurred by the airport 
for the General Aviation Corporate Terminal Apron Project.
    Any person may, upon request, inspect the request in person at the 
Federal Aviation Administration; Northwest Mountain Region; Airports 
Division; Seattle Airports District Office; 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., 
Suite 250; Renton, Washington 98055-4056.
    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 June 15, 2005.
Carol A. Key,
Acting Manger, Seattle Airports District Office.
