SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the

the provisions of the AIR 21 (49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2)).
    On February 27, 2018, the FAA determined that the request to 
release property at the Arapahoe County Public Airport submitted by the 
Arapahoe County Public Airport meets the procedural requirements of the 
Federal Aviation Administration.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Arapahoe County Public Airport is proposing the release from 
the terms, conditions, reservations, and restrictions on approximately 
27.766 acres of federally obligated land at the Arapahoe County Public 
Airport. This land was originally purchased in 2007 as part of a larger 
deal to obtain a restrictive covenant over several tracts of 
developable land near the airport that were slated for residential use. 
The 27.766 acres being proposed for release was never intended for 
aeronautical development and has been advertised for lease since the 
original purchase without any success. However, several buyers have 
approached the airport with interest in purchasing the land for 
compatible uses. The property will be sold at fair market value and the 
sponsor will reinvest the revenue into the airport. The property 
release conveyance will include appropriate continuing right of flight 
and continuing restriction clauses that will prohibit any activity on 
the land that would interfere with or be a hazard to the flight of 
aircraft over the land or to and from the airport, or that interferes 
with air navigation and communications facilities serving the airport.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at 
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    In addition, any person may, upon appointment and request, inspect 
the application, notice and other documents germane to the application 
in person at the Arapahoe County Public Airport.

    Issued in Denver, CO, on February 27, 2018.
John P. Bauer,
Manager, Denver Airports District Office.
