AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of request for a change in designation of on-airport 
property federally conveyed, as a result of the Surplus Property Act of 
1944, from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is requesting public comment on the Police Jury of 
Beauregard Parish's proposal to change 3,501.65 acres of airport 
property at Beauregard Regional Airport in DeRidder, Louisiana from 
aeronautical to non-aeronautical use. This acreage was federally 
conveyed through the Surplus Property Act of 1944.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 8, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered to 
the FAA at the following address: Mr. Justin Barker, Manager, Federal 
Aviation Administration, Southwest Region, Airports Division, 
Louisiana/New Mexico Airports Development Office, ASW-640, Fort Worth, 
Texas 76177.
    In addition, one copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be 
mailed or delivered to Mr. Hollis Ray O'Neal, Police Jury of Beauregard 
Parish Chairman, at the following address: 1220 1st Avenue, DeRidder,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Alison M. Brooks, Program Manager, 
Federal Aviation Administration, Louisiana/New Mexico Airports 
Development Office, ASW-640, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, Texas 
76177, Telephone: (817) 222-5522, Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(h), this 
notice is required to be published in the Federal Register 30 days 
before modifying the land-use assurance that requires the property to 
be used for an aeronautical purpose.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Police Jury of Beauregard Parish requests 3,501.65 acres of 
Parcel 2 (as shown on their Exhibit A), be released for non-
aeronautical use. The land will be leased out to various developments. 
Historic parcel 2 was acquired on January 22, 1949 under the Surplus 
Property Act of 1944. The proposed area of release is located north of 
Graybow Road, west of LA Highway 3099, east of Seth Cole Road, and 
south of Blankenship Road with exclusion of Parcel 1 which is contained 
in the airport's perimeter fence. The Police Jury of Bearegard Parish 
will lease this property to grow airport revenues as well as the 
economy. 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 the request by appointment at the FAA office 
address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment. All 
comments will be considered by the FAA to extent practicable.

    Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, on September 2023.
Ignacio Flores,
Director, Office of Airports Southwest Region.
