DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Release From Quitclaim Deed and Federal Grant Assurance 
Obligations at Oxnard Airport, Oxnard, Ventura County, California

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Request To Release Airport Land.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rule and 
invites public comment on the application for a release of 
approximately .96 acre of airport property near Oxnard Airport, Oxnard, 
Ventura County, California, from all conditions contained in the 
Quitclaim Deed and Grant Assurances since the parcel of land is not 
needed for airport purposes. The property will be sold for its fair 
market value and the proceeds used for airport purposes. The continued 
use of the land for agriculture represents a compatible land use that 
will not interfere with the airport or its operation, thereby 
protecting the interests of civil aviation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 22, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on the request may be mailed 
or delivered to the FAA at the following address: Tony Garcia, Airports 
Compliance Program Manager, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports 
Division, Federal Register Comment, 15000 Aviation Blvd., Lawndale, CA 
90261. In addition, one copy of the comment submitted to the FAA must 
be mailed or delivered to Mr. Todd McNamee, Director, Ventura County 
Department of Airports, 555 Airport Way, Camarillo, CA 93010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), 
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be 
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may 
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus 
property conveyance deeds or grant agreements.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    Ventura County, Department of Airports, Camarillo, California 
requested a release from the conditions contained in the Quitclaim Deed 
and Grant Assurance obligations for approximately .96 acres of airport 
land near Oxnard Airport. The property is located northwest of Oxnard 
Airport, adjacent to North Victoria Avenue and between Doris Avenue and 
Gonzales Road. The property is presently farm land in an agricultural 
area. The land will continue to be used for farming. Ventura County 
requested approval to sell the small parcel because the land is not 
needed for airport purposes and its current agricultural status 
prevents other uses. The property is approximately one mile from the 
airport boundary and is not suitable for current or future airport 
development. The sale price will be based on its appraised market value 
and the sale proceeds will be used for airport purposes. The continued 
use of the property for farming represents a compatible use that will 
not interfere with airport operations. The airport will be properly 
compensated, thereby serving the interests of civil aviation.

    Issued in Hawthorne, California, on January 11, 2016.

Manager, Safety and Standards, Airports Division, Western-Pacific 
Region.
