Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; 
Stevens Point Municipal Airport Stevens Point, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a proposal to change 47.634 acres known 
as Parcels 55 and 57 of airport land from aeronautical use to non-
aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of airport property located 
at Stevens Point Municipal Airport, Stevens Point, WI. The 
aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use.
    The 47.634 acres of airport property stretches along the entire 
North East quadrant of the airport property. Starting at the far north 
edge where the property meets State Highway 66, around to the northeast 
corner of the Runway 30 Runway Protection Zone. This property does not 
currently serve an aeronautical purpose. Portions of this property are 
currently not being used for any purpose and portions along the East 
edge are being used as an access road for the Izaak Walton League and 
as part of the Green Circle Trail system. If the airport receives 
permission from the FAA to release the property from aeronautical 
obligations, it intends on transferring this property to the community 
for continued use. The continued use of the land as access and trail 
will only occur once the relocation of the access and recreational 
trail has happened.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 22, 2018.
