Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance 
Former Willmar Municipal Airport, Willmar, MN

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 90 acres of airport property at 
the former Willmar Municipal Airport, Willmar, MN. The land will be 
used for an industrial park. The FAA issued a Categorical Exclusion on 
February 12, 2012.
    The City of Willmar built a new airport in 2006, therefore the 
acreage being released is not needed for aeronautical use. The 90 acres 
are on the East side of the former Willmar Municipal Airport, more 
specifically East of County Road 5 and north of Willmar Avenue SW. The 
acreage was originally acquired with City of Willmar funds. There are 
no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the 
property. The fair market value of this land is $1,700,000 and will be 
applied to the new Willmar Municipal Airport for operating and 
maintaining the airport and/or

improvements. 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.
    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 May 23, 2012.
