FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy J. Walter, Airports Land 
Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports Division, ACE-
620G, 901 Locust, Room 364, Kansas City, MO 64106, (816) 329-2603,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release a 14.1 acre parcel of airport property at the 
Council Bluffs Municipal Airport (CBF) under the provisions of 49 
U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). The Council Bluffs Airport Authority requested a 
release from the FAA to sell the parcel to Pottawattamie County to 
construct a new Roads Department Office and Vehicle Maintenance Shop. 
The FAA determined this request to release and sell property at the 
Council Bluffs Municipal Airport (CBF) submitted by the Sponsor meets 
the procedural requirements of the FAA 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:
    The Council Bluffs Municipal Airport (CBF) is proposing the release 
and sale of a parcel of airport property containing 14.1 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 the Council Bluffs 
Municipal Airport (CBF) 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 sell 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 request an appointment to inspect the 
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be 
related to the application in person at the Council Bluffs Municipal 
Airport.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO, on March 11, 2021.
James A. Johnson,
Director, FAA Central Region, Airports Division.
