SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public

Administration. The FAA will approve or disapprove the request, in 
whole or in part, no later than April 30, 2007.
    The following is a brief overview of the request.
    The City of Des Moines requests the release of approximately 5.07 
acres of airport property. The land is not being used for future 
aeronautical purposes. The release of the property will allow for the 
sale of the land to generate revenue for the airport. The proceeds 
would be used for future FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) eligible 
projects at the Des Moines International Airport.
    Any person may inspect the request in person at the FAA office 
listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    In addition, any person may, upon request, inspect the application,
