Notice of Intent of Waiver With Respect to Land; Detroit 
Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Detroit, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a proposal to change 5.61 acres of 
airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to 
authorize the sale of airport property located at Detroit Metropolitan 
Wayne County Airport, Detroit, MI. The aforementioned land is not 
needed for aeronautical use.
    The property is located across a public road and to the northwest 
of the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. It is currently 
vacant unimproved land that was acquired to support the Vining road 
relocation necessary for the construction of Runway 4L/22R at the 
airport. The property proposed for release was acquired by the Wayne 
County Airport Authority under FAA Grant Numbers 3-26-0026-1991, 3-26-
0026-2292, 3-26-0026-3695, 3-26-0026-4197, and 3-26-0026-4398. There is 
now a buyer for the entire 5.61 acre parcel. The land is no longer 
needed for aeronautical purposes. The proposed non-aeronautical land 
use would be for compatible commercial/industrial development. The 
property has been appraised and the airport will receive Fair Market 
Value for the land to be sold.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 23, 2018.

Federal Register 30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that 
requires the property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.
    The property is currently vacant, unimproved land maintained for 
compatible land use surrounding the airfield. The proposed non-
aeronautical land use would be for compatible commercial/industrial 
development, allowing the airport to become more self-sustaining. The 
property has a proposed developer identified and it has been appraised. 
The airport will receive Fair Market Value for the land to be sold.
    The disposition of proceeds from the sale of the airport property 
will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the 
Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 
16, 1999 (64 FR 7696).
    This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of 
the subject airport property at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County 
Airport, Detroit, MI, from its obligations to be maintained for 
aeronautical purposes. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the 
FAA to financially assist in the change in use of the subject airport 
property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding 
from the FAA.
