SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release approximately 0.81  acres of airport 
property at the Curtis Municipal Airport (47V) under the provisions of 
49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On April 30, 2018, Mr. Schultz, the City Clerk 
of Curtis, NE requested from the FAA that approximately 0.81 acres of airport property be released for sale to the City of 
Curtis for them to sell to the Welch Seed LLC for a portion of their 
agricultural seed sales business. On June 7, 2018, the FAA determined 
that the request to release property at the Curtis Municipal Airport 
(47V) submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the 
Federal Aviation Administration and the release of the property does 
not and will not impact future aviation needs at the airport. The FAA 
may approve the request, in whole or in part, no sooner than thirty 
days after the publication of this notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Curtis Municipal Airport (47V) is proposing the release of 
airport property totaling 0.81 acres, more or less. This land is to be 
used for a portion of an agricultural seed sales business. The release 
of land is necessary to comply with Federal Aviation Administration 
Grant Assurances that do not allow federally acquired airport property 
to be used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the subject property 
will result in the land at the Curtis Municipal Airport (47V) being 
changed from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and release the lands 
from the conditions of the Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement 
Grant Assurances. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and 
(iii), the airport will receive fair market value for the property, 
which will be subsequently reinvested in another eligible airport 
improvement project for general aviation facilities at the Curtis 
Municipal 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 determined by the FAA to be 
related to the application in person at the Curtis Municipal Airport.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO, on June 7, 2018.
Jim A. Johnson,
Director, Airports Division.
