DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of Release From Federal Grant Assurance Obligations and
Land Exchange San Bernardino International Airport, San Bernardino, San
Bernardino County, California
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of request to release airport land.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal and invites public comment on the application for release of
10.306 acres of airport property from federal Grant Assurance
obligations and land exchange at San Bernardino International Airport,
San Bernardino, California. San Bernardino International Airport
Authority (SBIAA) is requesting a total release from federal
obligations on 10.306 acres of SBIAA property, and to authorize an
acre-for-acre land exchange between SBIAA and the San Manuel Band of
Mission Indians (SMBMI). The property is located approximately 600-feet
south of E 3rd Street, north of W St., and approximately 300-feet east
of Victoria Street and west of U St.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 6, 2022.
[[Page 69352]]
ADDRESSES: Comments on the request may be mailed or delivered to the
FAA at the following address: Ms. Cathryn Cason, Manager, Los Angeles
Airports District Office, Federal Aviation Administration, 777 South
Aviation Boulevard, Suite 150, El Segundo, California 90245. In
addition, one copy of the comment submitted to the FAA must be mailed
or delivered to Mr. Mark Gibbs, Director of Aviation, San Bernardino
International Airport Authority, 1601 East 3rd Street, San Bernardino,
CA 92408.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The former Norton Air Force Base property
was conveyed to SBIAA by the United States Air Force (USAF) in
accordance with the Airport Quit Claim Deed as a public benefit
transfer pursuant to the sponsorship of the FAA a public use airport.
SBIAA assumed the operational responsibility of the Airport on October
15, 1993, and received a lease from the USAF in January 1994. The
Airport Quit Claim Deed encompasses the majority of the Airport
properties and was delivered to SBIAA on February 12, 1999. The 10.306-
acres of subject land identified is not currently required for
aeronautical purposes. SBIAA is intending to exchange this property
with the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (SMBMI) on a 10.306-acre-
for-acre land exchange. Such use of the land represents a compatible
land use that will not interfere with the airport or its operation,
thereby protecting the interests of civil aviation. The resulting
actions would provide the Airport with ownership control over the
primary access road to its general aviation and air cargo areas
(Victoria Avenue). SBIAA needs to ensure that the ownership control of
this primary access road cannot be compromised.
In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and
Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5,
2000; 114 stat. 61), this notice must be published in the Federal
Register 30 days before the DOT Secretary may waive any condition
imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus property conveyance
deeds or grant agreements.
Issued in El Segundo, California on December 2, 2021.
Brian Q. Armstrong,
Manager, Safety and Standards Branch, Airports Division, Western-
Pacific Region.
