SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to change a 13.94 acre parcel of airport property at the Kansas 
City International Airport (MCI) from aeronautical use to non-
aeronautical revenue producing use. This parcel will be leased for the 
relocation and construction of the FBI Kansas City Division 
Headquarters.
    No airport landside or airside facilities are presently located on 
this parcel, nor are airport developments contemplated in the future. 
There is no current use of the surface of the parcel. The parcel will 
serve as a revenue producing lot with the proposed change from 
aeronautical to non-aeronautical. The request submitted by the Sponsor 
meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation 
Administration and the change to non-aeronautical status 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 Kansas City International Airport (MCI) is proposing the use 
release of a 13.94 acre parcel of land from aeronautical to non-
aeronautical. The use 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 rental of the subject property will result in the land at 
the Kansas City International Airport (MCI) 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 accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), 
the airport will receive fair market rental value for the property. The 
annual income from rent payments will generate a long-term, revenue-
producing stream that will further the Sponsor's obligation under FAA 
Grant Assurance number 24, to make the Kansas City International 
Airport as financially self-sufficient as possible.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at 
the FAA office listed above. In addition, any person may upon request, 
inspect the application, notice and other documents determined by the 
FAA to be related to the application in person at the Kansas City 
International Airport--Aviation Department.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO, on January 6, 2022.
James A. Johnson,
Director, FAA Central Region, Airports Division.
