DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Intent To Permanently Change the Use of Airport 
Property Currently Shown on the Airport Layout Plan From Aeronautical 
Property to Non-Aeronautical Property at the Boca Raton Airport, Boca 
Raton, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration is requesting public 
comment on Boca Raton Airport Authority's (BRAA) request to change +/- 
4.67 acres of airport property from aeronautical use to non-
aeronautical use. The parcel in question is the last remaining parcel 
of aeronautical land available at the Boca Raton Airport. The property 
in question is on the east side of Airport Road and approximately 1 
mile north of Glades Road between the Premiere leasehold and the 
Fairfield Inn leasehold. The BRAA intends to use the property to 
develop an office building and possible restaurant(s). Portions of the 
building would house BRAA office, while the remainder would be leased 
to third party tenants for revenue generation. Documents reflecting the 
Sponsor's request are available, by appointment only, for inspection at 
the Airport Manager's office and the FAA Airport District Office.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 7, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review at the Airport Manager's 
office by contacting Mr. Ken A. Day, Airport Manager, 3700 Airport 
Road; Suite 305, Boca Raton, Florida 33431 or at (541) 391-
2202. Documents are also available at the FAA Orlando Airport District 
Office by contacting Mr. Dean Stringer, Manager, 5950 Hazeltine 
National Drive; Suite 400, Orlando Florida 32822 or at (407) 812-6331, 
extension 117. Written comments on the Sponsor's request must be 
delivered or mailed, to: Mr. Miguel A. Martinez, Program Manager, 5950 
Hazeltine National Drive; Suite 400, Orlando Florida 32822 or at (407) 
812-6331, extension 123.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Miguel A. Martinez, Program 
Manager, 5950 Hazeltine National Drive; Suite 400, Orlando Florida 
32822 or at (407) 812-6331, extension 123.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 125 of The Wendell H. Ford Aviation 
Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) requires the 
FAA to provide an opportunity for public notice and comment prior to 
the ``waiver'' or ``modification'' of a sponsor's Federal obligation to 
use certain airport land for aeronautical purposes. Currently the 
parcel is designated as Aviation Support on the Airport Layout Plan but 
does not have direct access to the taxiway/runway system. Aviation uses 
requiring airfield access to the taxiway/runway system may not be 
physically possible without obtaining easements across adjoining leased 
properties.

W. Dean Stringer,
Manager, Orlando Airports District Office, Southern Region.
