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.
