SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release approximately 2.78 acres consisting of 1 parcel of 
airport property at the Ottumwa Regional Airport (OTM) under the 
provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On December 6, 2018, the City 
Attorney of the City of Ottumwa requested a release from the FAA to 
sell one parcel of land totaling 2.78 acres improved with a warehouse. 
Buyer, Steven Roquet, will use the land and warehouse for storage of 
equipment. On July 22, 2019, the FAA determined that the request to 
release property at the Ottumwa Regional Airport (OTM) 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 Ottumwa Regional Airport (OTM) is proposing the release of 
airport property of 1 parcel totaling 2.78 acres, more or less. 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 Ottumwa Regional 
Airport (OTM) 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 order to dispose of the 
land. 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 use.
    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 Ottumwa City Hall.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO on July 22, 2019.
Jim A. Johnson,
Director, FAA Central Region, Airports Division.
