Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance, J. 
Douglas Bake Memorial Airport, Oconto, WI

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 authorize the release of a portion of the airport property. 
The City of Oconto WI is proposing to swap 13.9 acres of existing 
airport land for 13.9 acres of land from an adjacent landowner. The 
swap will allow the airport to acquire land in fee that lies under the 
approach to Runway 22. Both parcels are vacant land in the northeast 
corner of the airport and are deemed of equal value. The acreage being 
released is not needed for aeronautical use as currently identified on 
the Airport Layout Plan.
    The acreage comprising this parcel was originally acquired under 
Grant No. AIP 3-55-SBGP-20-04 (Oconto AIP--06). The City of Oconto 
(Wisconsin), as airport owner, has concluded that the subject airport 
land is not needed for expansion of airport facilities. There are no 
impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the 
property. No revenue will be derived as the parcels are of the same 
value. 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 with 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 March 15, 2006.
