Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance, 
Southern Illinois Airport, Carbondale-Murphysboro, IL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

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

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is giving notice 
that a portion of the airport property will be exchanged with the 
Southern Illinois University. A portion of the property to be exchanged 
(.0254 acre) was originally acquired in fee on July 20, 1948, with 
partial Federal funding. The remaining property (.7266 acre was 
acquired by Southern Illinois Airport Authority (SIAA) on August 16, 
2001, in a previous exchange with the Southern Illinois University 
(SIU). This release will be an even exchange of land (.752+/-acre) 
between SIAA and SIU. The Exhibit `A' Property Line Map (Exhibit 1) and 
the Airport Layout Plan (Exhibit 2) depicts the exchange.
    The University proposes to construct four (4) buildings which will 
result in the new Transportation Education Center at the airport. The 
sponsor anticipates greater future opportunities for the airport due to 
the reputation of the University and its renowned programs. It has been 
determined that one of the buildings will cause a line-of-site 
obstruction with the Air Traffic Control Tower if it is built in its 
proposed location. In order to eliminate the conflict, an even exchange 
of the property and a different construction location has been 
proposed.
    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 that 
property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 15, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: E. Lindsay Butler, Program Manager, 
2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, IL 60018. Telephone Number 847-
294-7723/FAX Number 847-294-7046. Documents reflecting this FAA action 
may be reviewed at this same location or at the Southern Illinois 
Airport, Carbondale-Murphysboro, Illinois.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA intends 
to authorize the exchange of the subject airport property at Southern 
Illinois Airport, Carbondale-Murphysboro, Illinois. Approval does not 
constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in exchange of 
the subject airport property nor a determination that all measures 
covered by the program are eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the 
FAA. If appropriate, the disposition of proceeds from the exchange of 
the airport property will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and 
Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the 
Federal Register on February 16, 1999.

    Issued in Des Plaines, Illinois on June 10, 2005.
Larry H. Ladendorf,
Acting Manager, Chicago Airports District Office, FAA, Great Lakes 
Region.
