Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Release From Federal Surplus Property and Grant 
Assurance Obligations at Redding Municipal Airport (RDD), Redding, 
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 1.10 acres of airport property at the Redding Municipal 
Airport (RDD), Redding, California from all conditions contained in the 
Surplus Property Deed and Grant Assurances because the parcel of land 
is not needed for airport purposes. The land requested to be released 
is separated from the airport by Airport Road and located outside the 
airport fence at the southwest corner of the airport property. The 
release will allow the City of Redding to sell the property at its fair 
market value, thereby benefiting the Airport and serving the interest 
of civil aviation. The proposed use will be compatible with the airport 
and will not interfere with the airport or its operation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 21, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on the request may be mailed 
to the FAA at the following address: James W. Lomen, Manager, Federal 
Aviation Administration, San Francisco Airports District Office, 
Federal Register Comment, 1000 Marina Boulevard, Suite 220, Brisbane, 
CA 94005. In addition, one copy of the comment submitted to the FAA 
must be mailed to Mr. Rod Dinger, Airport Director, Redding Municipal 
Airport, 6751 Woodrum Circle, Suite 200, Redding, CA 96002.

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:
    The City of Redding, California requested a release from Federal 
surplus property and grant assurance obligations for approximately 1.10 
acres of airport land to allow for its sale. The property was 
originally acquired pursuant to the Surplus Property Act of 1944 and 
was deeded to the City of Redding on June 6, 1949. The parcel of land 
is located on the southwest side of the airport along Meadow View Drive 
and Airport Road. The property is separated from the airfield by 
Airport Road and the airport perimeter fence.
    The parcel of land is undeveloped, has no structural improvements, 
and has not been used for aviation purposes for over 20 years. The City 
of Redding will sell the 1.10 acres of property at fair market value 
and redeveloped for commercial business purposes.
    The sales proceeds will be devoted to airport operations and 
capital projects. The reuse of the property will not interfere with the 
airport or its operation and will thereby serve the interests of civil 
aviation.

    Issued in Brisbane, California, on August 10, 2016.
James W. Lomen,
Manager, San Francisco Airports District Office, Western-Pacific 
Region.
