Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land; Indianapolis 
International Airport, Indianapolis, Indiana.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a proposal to change 76.592 acres of 
airport land from the federal obligation dedicating it to aeronautical 
use and to authorize this land to be used for revenue producing, non-
aeronautical purposes at Indianapolis International Airport, 
Indianapolis, Indiana. The aforementioned land is not needed for 
current or future aeronautical use.

[[Page 55525]]

    The land is located along the southern boundary of the airport, 
bordered by Col. H. Weir Cook Memorial Drive; West Perimeter Road; 
Haueisen Road; and Bridgeport Road. The land is not developed. A solar 
power generating facility is proposed for development on the land.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 16, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review by appointment at the FAA 
Chicago Airports District Office, Melanie Myers, Program Manager, 2300 
East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, IL 60018 Telephone: (847) 294-7525/Fax: 
(847) 294-7046 and Eric Anderson, Indianapolis Airport Authority, 7800 
Col. H. Weir Cook Memorial Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46241; (317) 487-
5135.
    Written comments on the Sponsor's request must be delivered or 
mailed to: Melanie Myers, Program Manager, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Chicago Airports District Office, 2300 East Devon 
Avenue, Des Plaines, IL 60018, Telephone Number: (847) 294-7525/FAX 
Number: (847) 294-7046.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melanie Myers, Program Manager, 
Federal Aviation Administration, Chicago Airports District Office, 2300 
East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, IL 60018, Telephone Number: (847) 294-
7525/FAX Number: (847) 294-7046.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    The vacant property consists of portions of 15 original airport 
acquired parcels. These parcels were acquired with a combination of 
Airport Development Aid Program (ADAP) grants 6-18-0038-04, 6-18-0038-
10, 6-18-0038-14, and local funds. The land is located outside the 
airport operations area and is restricted from airside development. 
Development of the parcel for landside operations is restricted due to 
maximum height limitations and access limitations. There are no impacts 
to the airport by allowing the Indianapolis Airport Authority to lease 
the property for solar energy generation.
    The Indianapolis Airport Authority will control use of the parcel 
through terms and conditions of the ground lease. The lease will be 
subordinate to the sponsor's existing grant assurances. This will 
ensure that all activities on the parcel will be compatible with FAA 
requirements and airport operations. The disposition of proceeds from 
the lease of the airport 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).
    A fair market value (FMV) appraisal for the parcel was completed in 
June 2014 in accordance with FAA Order 5100.37A. The appraisal 
concluded that the FMV for an annual commercial ground lease of the 
property is $871.20 per acre.
    This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of 
the subject airport property at the Indianapolis International Airport, 
Indianapolis, Indiana from its obligations to be maintained for 
aeronautical purposes. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the 
FAA to financially assist in the change in use of the subject airport 
property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding 
from the FAA.
