SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release approximately 5.22 acres of airport 
property at the Colonel James Jabara Airport (AAO) under the provisions 
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On September 15, 2013, the City of Wichita's 
Airport Engineer requested from the FAA that approximately 5.22 acres of property be released for sale to Sedgwick County Public 
Works for the purpose of road widening and utilities. On December 22, 
2013, the FAA determined that the request to release property at 
Colonel James Jabara Airport (AAO) 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:
    Colonel James Jabara Airport (AAO) is proposing the release of a 
parcel, totaling 5.22 acres. 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 Colonel James Jabara Airport (AAO) being 
changed from aeronautical to nonaeronautical use and release the 
surface lands from the conditions of the AIP Grant Agreement Grant 
Assurances, but retaining the mineral rights. In accordance with 49 
U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will receive fair 
market value for the property.
    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 Colonel James Jabara 
Airport.

    Re-Issued in Kansas City, MO, on January 16, 2014.
Jim A. Johnson,
Manager, Airports Division.
