SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release approximately 2.07 acres of airport property at the 
Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport (LBL) under the provisions of 49 
U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On August 11, 2020, the Airport Attorney requested 
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 
release and sale 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:
    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 
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In 
addition, any person may, request an appointment and inspect the 
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be

Regional Airport.
