DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; 
Gerald R. Ford International Airport; Grand Rapids, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

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

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a 
proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to 
non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. 
The proposal consists of a parcel of land totaling approximately 5.76 
acres. Current use and present condition is vacant grassland. The 
parcel is hilly and partially wooded. The land was acquired under FAA 
Project No. 9-20-072-6001. There are no impacts to the airport by 
allowing the airport to dispose of the property. The proposal concerns 
selling the land to the Michigan Department of Transportation to 
provide a right-of-way for the proposed Interstate-96 interchange with 
36th Street. The project will improve traffic flow to areas along the 
northern boundary of the airport. Approval does not constitute a 
commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the disposal of the 
subject airport property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-
in-aid funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the 
disposal of the airport property will be in accordance FAA's Policy and 
Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the 
Federal Register on February 16, 1999.
    In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States 
Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal Register 
30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires the 
property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 22, 2005.
