Notice of Intent of Waiver With Respect to Land

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a proposal to change a 29.429-acre 
portion of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use 
and to authorize the sale of airport property located at Aurora 
Municipal Airport, Sugar Grove, IL.
    The subject portion of airport property considered for release from 
obligation to be maintained for aeronautical use and sale includes a 
26.67-acre portion of Parcel 33, a 0.69-acre portion of Parcel 10, and 
a 2.069-acre portion of Parcel 11 that are located in the northwest 
quadrant of the airport along Wheeler Road and currently not being used 
directly for aeronautical purposes. Currently, ownership of the 
property provides for protection of FAR Part 77 surfaces and compatible 
land use which would continue to be protected with deed restrictions 
required in the transfer of land ownership. The change from 
aeronautical to non-aeronautical use would allow for the more efficient 
use of existing airport property. The aforementioned land is not needed 
for aeronautical use.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 18, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review by prior appointment at

    The acquisition of Parcel 33 (102.77 acres) was originally funded

10 (120.00 acres) acquisition funded under Federal AIP Grant 3-17-0003-

funded under Federal AIP Grant 3-17-0006-B10 in 1999. The subject 
portions of those parcels are currently used for FAR Part 77 protection 
and to ensure compatible land use. The City of Aurora plans to sell the 
subject property to the Village of Sugar Grove. Fair Market Value will 
be obtained from the sale of the subject property.
    This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of 
the subject airport property at Aurora Municipal Airport, Sugar Grove,

continuing right of flight as well as restrictions on the released 
property as required in FAA Order 5190.6B Section 22.16. Approval does 
not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the 
disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination of 
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The use of the 
revenue generated from the sale of the airport property will be in
