Federal Aviation Administration


Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; J. 
Douglas Bake Memorial Airport (OCQ) Oconto, WI

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 0.32 acres of airport property 
(Parcel No. 18) at the J. Douglas Bake Memorial Airport, Oconto, WI.
    Parcel No. 18 is located outside of the airport fence along the 
west edge of the airport and contains a part of a road used to access a 
land-locked parcel of private property located adjacent to the airport. 
Using the piece of airport property as an uncontrolled access road has 
resulted in a non-aeronautical use of

[[Page 67863]]

airport property and a compliance issue for the airport. In addition, 
the uncontrolled access raises liability concerns for the airport. The 
land release would bring the airport into compliance with grant 
assurances and assure compatible land use. It would also remove the 
liability issue related to the unauthorized use of the access road.
    A categorical exclusion for this land release action was prepared 
by Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation-Bureau of Aeronautics and issued 
on June 22, 2011.
    The aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use. The 
parcel is depicted on the Airport Layout Plan and Exhibit ``A'' 
property map dated July 12, 2011. There are no impacts to the airport 
by allowing the airport to dispose of this parcel.
    The subject parcel was originally acquired on September 10, 2002, 
as part of Airport Improvement Program grant No. 04 and is described in 
the warranty deed recorded in Volume 933 pages 480-481, Oconto County, 
Wisconsin. The value of the parcel is $600.
    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 December 14, 2012.
