from the FAA that two parcels of land for a combined 2.07 acres of
property be released for sale to the USD 480 School District. The FAA
determined the request to release and sell property at Liberal Mid-
America Regional Airport (LBL) submitted by the Sponsor meets the
procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the

aviation needs at the airport. The FAA may approve the request, in

this Notice.
The following is a brief overview of the request:
Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport (LBL) is proposing the release
and sale of two parcels of airport property, totaling 2.07 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 release of land and surface rights
at the Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport (LBL) from the conditions
of the AIP Grant Agreement Grant Assurances, but retaining the mineral
rights. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the
airport will receive fair market value and the property will continue
to be used as a parking lot and storage building for the school
district.
Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at
