SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release approximately 0.33 acres of airport property at the 
Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport & Airport Industrial Park (LBL) 
under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On June 24, 2011, the 
Airport Manager at the Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport requested 
from the FAA that approximately 0.33 acres of property be released for 
sale to Allan and Charlene Classen for use as a repair/maintenance 
operation. On October 31, 2011, the FAA determined that the request to 
release property at the Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport and 
Airport Industrial Park (LBL) submitted by the Sponsor meets the 
procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the 
release of the property does not and will not impact future aviation 
needs at the airport. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in 
part, no sooner than thirty days after the publication of this Notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport and Airport Industrial Park 
(LBL) is proposing the release of one parcel, of 0.33 acres, more or 
less. The release of land is necessary to comply with Federal Aviation 
Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow federally acquired 
airport property to be used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the 
subject property will result in the land at the Liberal Mid-America 
Regional Airport and Airport Industrial Park (LBL) being changed from 
aeronautical to nonaeronautical use and release the lands from the 
conditions of the Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant 
Assurances. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), 
the airport will receive fair market value for the property, which will 
be subsequently reinvested in another eligible airport improvement 
project for general aviation facilities at the Liberal Mid-America 
Regional Airport and Airport Industrial Park.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at 
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In 
addition, any person may, upon appointment and request, inspect the 
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be 
related to the application in person at the Liberal Mid-America 
Regional Airport and Airport Industrial Park.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO, on November 30, 2011.
Jim A. Johnson,
Manager, Airports Division.
