    The land release request for the sale and disposal of 5.5 acres of

Airport, Clarksburg, WV may be reviewed in person at the Beckley 
Airports Field Office located at 176 Airport Circle, Room 101 Beaver,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Benedum Airport Authority has submitted a land release request 
seeking FAA approval for the sale and disposal of approximately 5.5 
acres of federally obligated airport property, to the City of 
Bridgeport. The purpose of the project is for the airport to sell 
excess property that does not have an aeronautical use to the City. The 
City will use the property to construct additional needed storage for 
city equipment, storage of road salt, and a car wash for maintaining 
city vehicles. The sporting complex, which is adjacent to the airport, 
is in need of additional off road parking. This property will provide 
80 additional parking spots.
    The parcel for this project is known as Tax Map 290 Parcel 9. This 
property consists of 5.5 Acres with seven (7) structures. The City of 
Bridgeport's proposed redevelopment includes demolishing (6) six of the 
seven (7) structures, construction of one (1) 60' x 160' four (4) bay 
building, one (1) 156' x 30' twelve (12) bay garage, renovation of one 
(1) extant building into a car wash, and construction of an 80 space 
parking lot.
    The 5.5 acres of land to be released was originally purchased with 
federal financial assistance through the AIP program under Grant 
Agreements 3-54-0005-16-1996 and 3-54-0005-10-1993. Therefore, the 
portion of the proceeds of the sale of this acreage, which is 
proportionate to the United States' share of the cost of acquisition of 
such land, will be used consistent with the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 
47107(c). The remaining portion of the proceeds of the sale, is 
considered airport revenue, and will be used in accordance with 49 
U.S.C. 47107(b) and the FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use 
of Airport Revenue published in the Federal Register on February 16, 
1999.
    The 5.5 acres to be released are part of previous purchases 
totaling approximately 120 acres for reasons associated with Runway 
Extension. The subject area to be released is located between the 
taxiway and West Virginia State Route 131, north of airport terminal, 
however, is located approximately 200 feet lower in elevation that the 
active runway. It is also completely segregated from the terminal area 
and the facilities that serve airport users, such as Terminal Parking 
and Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services. The elevation difference and 
location of the property make if unusable for aeronautical purposes. 
The property is not located within the RPZ, will not result in any 
obstructions to part 77 surfaces, and has not been identified as needed 
for current or future airport development in the current Airport Master 
Plan or ALP.
    Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office 
address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment. All 
comments will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.

    Issued in Beaver, West Virginia.
