SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public 
comment on the request to release property for disposal at Asheville 
Regional Airport, 61 Terminal Drive, Fletcher, NC 28732, under the 
provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). The FAA determined that the 
request to release property at Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) 
submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the 
Federal Aviation Administration and the release of these properties 
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 request consists of the following: The Greater Asheville 
Regional Airport Authority is proposing the release of airport property 
totaling 0.76 acres, more or less. This land is to be used by the North 
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) for United States 
Department of Transportation (USDOT) Federal Highway Administration 
(FHWA) system improvements (0.49 acres) and a permanent drainage and 
utility easement (0.27 acres). 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 Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) 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 aviation facilities at Asheville Regional Airport (AVL). 
The proposed use of this property is compatible with airport 
operations.
    This request will release this property from federal obligations. 
This action is taken under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2).
    Any person may inspect the request in person at the FAA office 
listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    In addition, any person may, upon request, inspect the request, 
notice and other documents germane to the request in person at the 
Asheville Regional Airport.

    Issued in Memphis, Tennessee on July 15, 2019.
Tommy L. Dupree,
Assistant Manager, Memphis Airports District Office, Southern Region.
