Director has requested from the FAA the release of a 10.1 acre parcel 
of airport property be released for sale to the Kansas Department of 
Transportation (KDOT) to construct a new maintenance facility to 
replace its current facility located within the Runway 36 Protection

at the New Century AirCenter (IXD) submitted by the Sponsor meets the 
procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration 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

    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    New Century AirCenter (IXD) is proposing the release and sale of a 
10.1 acre parcel of airport property. 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 
release of land and surface rights at the New Century AirCenter (IXD) 
from the conditions of the AIP Grant Agreement Grant Assurances. In 
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will 
receive fair market value through a land exchange and the property will 
be developed into a maintenance facility by KDOT.
