Notice of Intent To Rule on a Request To Release Surplus Property 
at the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport, Christiansted, US Virgin Islands

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is being given that the Federal Aviation Administration 
(FAA) is considering a request from the Virgin Islands Port Authority 
to waive the requirement that 84.61 acres of surplus property located 
at the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport be used for aeronautical purposes. 
Currently, the ownership of the property provides for the protection of 
FAR Part 77 surfaces and compatible land use which would continue to be 
protected with deed restrictions required in the transfer of land 
ownership.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 19, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered to 
the FAA at the following address: Rob Rau, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Atlanta Airports District Office, 1701 Columbia Ave., 
Ste. 220, College Park, GA 30337.
    In addition, one copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be 
mailed to: Damian Cartwright, P.E., Acting Executive Director, Virgin 
Islands Port Authority, P.O. Box 301707, St. Thomas, USVI 00803-1707.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rob Rau, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Atlanta Airports District Office, 1701 Columbia Ave., 
Ste. 220, College Park, GA 30337, [email protected]. The request to 
release property may be reviewed, by appointment, in person at this 
same location.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA is reviewing a request to release 
84.61 acres of surplus property at the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX) 
under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47151(d). On March 29, 2019, the 
Virgin Islands Port Authority requested the FAA release 84.61 acres of 
surplus property for commercial development. The FAA has determined 
that the proposed property release at the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport 
(STX), as submitted by the Virgin Islands Port Authority, meets the 
procedural requirements of the FAA and 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. 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 aviation facilities at the 
Henry E. Rohlsen 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 Henry E. Rohlsen Airport.

    Issued in Atlanta, GA, on July 11, 2019.
Larry F. Clark,
Manager, Atlanta Airports District Office.
