SUMMARY: The FAA is requesting public comment on the Virgin Island Port 
Authority's proposal to change 10 acres of airport property at the

Attn: Joseph Robinson, Planner, 1701 Columbia Ave., Suite 220, College 
Park, Georgia 30337-2747.
    In addition, one copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Virgin Islands Port Authority (VIPA) 
requests parcel 2-A (as shown on the Exhibit A) totaling 10 acres, be 
released for construction and operation of a hotel. Parcels 2-A was 
acquired via surplus property transfer on November 22, 1948. The 
purpose of this request is to permanently change the designation of the 
property given there is no potential for future aviation use, as 
demonstrated by the Airport Layout Plan. Subsequent to the 
implementation of the proposed redesignation, rents received by the 
airport from this property must be used in accordance with FAA's Policy 
and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the 
Federal Register on February 16, 1999.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at 
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Issued in College Park, Georgia on July 26, 2023.
