SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release approximately 100.72 acres of airport property at 
Sioux Gateway Airport/Col. Bud Day Field (SUX) under the provisions of 
49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On April 13, 2013, the Airport Manager at Sioux 
Gateway Airport/Col. Bud Day Field, requested from the FAA that 
approximately 100.72 acres of property be released for sale to Sabre 
Industries for use as light industrial/manufacturing. On July 1, 2013, 
the FAA determined that the request to release property at Sioux 
Gateway Airport/Col. Bud Day Field (SUX) 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:
    Sioux Gateway Airport/Col. Bud Day Field (SUX) is proposing the 
release of airport property totaling 100.72 acres, more or less. This 
land is to be used for light industrial/manufacturing. 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 Sioux Gateway Airport/Col. Bud Day Field (SUX) 
being changed from aeronautical to non-aeronautical 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 
Sioux Gateway Airport/Col. Bud Day Field.
    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 Sioux Gateway Airport/Col. Bud 
Day Field.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO on July 17, 2013.

Manager, Airports Division.
