SUMMARY: The FAA hereby provides notice of intent to execute an 
agreement with the City of Pompano Beach, Florida, to formally release 
certain airport properties, 295.7 acres, at the Pompano Beach Airpark, 
Pompano Beach, FL from the conditions, reservations, and restrictions 
as contained in a Quitclaim Deed agreement between the FAA and the City 
of Pompano Beach, dated August 29, 1947, and correctional Quitclaim 
Deed dated December 18, 1947, and supplemental Quitclaim Deed dated 
June 24, 1948; and approve interim non-aeronautical uses for certain 
other airport properties, 250 acres, at the Pompano Beach Airpark, 
Pompano Beach, FL. The release of property from the conditions, 
reservations, and restrictions as contained in the Quitclaim Deed 
agreements will allow the City of Pompano Beach to make a one-time 
payment, per parcel being formally released, to the Airport Capital 
Improvement Fund to permit use of the properties for municipal purposes 
without further compensation to the airport. The City will make 
periodic deposits into the fund until there are adequate funds to make 
a one-time payment per parcel. Compensation for each property will be 
provided in this manner. For parcels being used for interim, non-
aeronautical purposes, the City will compensate the airport based on 
current fair market rental value. Revenues produced by interim uses 
will be deposited into a separate Airport Enterprise Fund. These funds 
must be used for airport purposes.
    The property is located in the City of Pompano Beach, Broward 
County, Florida. The parcels are currently designated as both 
aeronautical and non-aeronautical uses. The properties to be formally 
released to the City of Pompano Beach are expected to remain municipal 
uses. FAA has agreed that the property value for the formal releases 
will be determined through historical appraisals of lands based on the 
year they were developed for municipal use. Interest will be assessed 
on each property in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(o) at a fixed rate 
from the date the property was converted to a non-aeronautical, 
municipal use to the date the city makes its one-time payment to the 
Airport Capital Improvement Fund. Funds received through the release of 
airport properties will be subsequently reinvested in airport capital 
improvements, as mutually agreed upon by the FAA and the City.
    Documents reflecting the Sponsor's request and the draft agreement 
are available, by appointment only, for inspection at the City of 
Pompano Beach municipal offices and the FAA Orlando Airports District 
Office.

DATES: May 23, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 49 United States Code, Section 47153 
and FAA Policy requires the FAA to provide public notice prior to the 
``waiver'' or ``modification'' of a Federal obligation to use certain 
airport land for an aeronautical purpose if the Secretary decides it is 
necessary to protect or advance the interests of the United States in 
civil aviation or for national defense.
