    The FAA is reviewing a request by the Charleston County Aviation 
Authority to release 266.954 acres of airport property at the 
Charleston International Airport. The Charleston County Aviation 
Authority plans to sell the subject property for the purpose of 
aircraft manufacturing and related support functions.
    All three Parcels of land were originally acquired from Georgia 
Pacific under ADAP Grant 6-45-0012-01 in September, 1976 for future 
airport development.
    1. Parcel A is 141.1 acres, the largest of the three parcels. It is 
located northwest of the intersection of International Boulevard and 
Michaux Parkway. The Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR-9) is located on 
this parcel. The Charleston County Aviation Authority granted an 
easement to the FAA for this facility that runs with the land into 
perpetuity or until abandoned by the FAA.
    2. Parcel B is 103.0 acres located south of International 
Boulevard, east of Michaux Parkway and west of Interstate 526 (Mark 
Clark Expressway).
    3. Parcel C is 22.8 acres fronting International Boulevard and 
encompasses three office buildings and other various site improvements. 
This property is commonly referred to as the South Carolina Research 
Authority (SCRA) Tract or Trident area.
    Fair market value will be obtained from the sale of the subject 
airport property. The use of the revenue generated from the sale of the 
property will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures 
Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal 
Register on February 16, 1999 (64 FR 7696). The Aviation Authority's 
airport account will be properly compensated, thereby serving the 
interests of civil aviation. In addition, the proposed use of this 
property is compatible with airport operations.
