Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurances: New Century AirCenter 
Airport (IXD), New Century, KS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Intent of Waiver with respect to land.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a 
proposal from the Johnson County Airport Commission (sponsor), New 
Century, KS, to release 623.74+ acres of land from the federal 
obligation dedicating it to aeronautical use and to authorize this 
parcel to be used for revenue-producing, non-aeronautical purposes.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 28, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered to 
the FAA at the following address: Lynn D. Martin, Airports Compliance 
Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports Division, ACE-
610C, 901 Locust Room 364, Kansas City, MO 64106.
    In addition, one copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be 
mailed or delivered to: Aaron Otto, Executive Director, Johnson County 
Airport Commission, 1 New Century Parkway, New Century, KS 66031, (913)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lynn D. Martin, Airports Compliance 
Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports Division, ACE-
610C, 901 Locust Room 364, Kansas City, MO 64106, Telephone number 
(816) 329-2644, Fax number (816) 329-2611, email address: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to change approximately 623.74+ acres of airport property at 
the New Century AirCenter Airport (IXD) from aeronautical use to non-
aeronautical for revenue producing use. These parcels will be used for 
commercial/industrial operations.
    No airport landside or airside facilities are presently located on 
these parcels, nor are airport developments

[[Page 17448]]

contemplated in the future. There is no current use of the surface of 
the parcels. These parcels will serve as revenue producing lots with 
the proposed change from aeronautical to non-aeronautical. The request 
submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the 
Federal Aviation Administration and the change to non-aeronautical 
status 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 New Century AirCenter Airport (IXD) is proposing the release of 
five parcels, for a total of 623.74 acres, more or less from 
aeronautical to non-aeronautical. 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 rental of the subject property will result in 
the land at the New Century AirCenter Airport (IXD) being changed from 
aeronautical to nonaeronautical 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 rental value for the property. The 
annual income from rent payments will generate a long-term, revenue-
producing stream that will further the Sponsor's obligation under FAA 
Grant Assurance number 24, to make the New Century AirCenter Airport as 
financially self-sufficient as possible.
    Following is a legal description of the subject airport property at 
the New Century AirCenter Airport (IXD):
