Notice of Request To Release Property at the Laurinburg-Maxton 
Airport, Maxton, NC (MEB)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration is requesting public 
comment on a request by the Southeast Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) 
on behalf of the Town of Laurinburg-Maxton, to release of land (1.57 
acres) at the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport from Federal obligations.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 26, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this notice may be emailed to the FAA at the 
following email address: FAA/Memphis Airports District Office, Attn: 
Jamal R. Stovall, Lead Community Planner, [email protected].
    In addition, one copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be 
mailed or delivered to Mr. Seth Hatchell, Executive Director, 
Laurinburg-Maxton Airport at the following address: 16701 Airport Rd., 
Maxton, NC 28364.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jamal R. Stovall, Lead Community 
Planner, Federal Aviation Administration, Memphis Airports District 
Office, 2600 Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Suite 2250, Memphis, TN 38118-
2482, [email protected] or 901-322-8185. The application may be 
reviewed in person at this same location, by appointment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public 
comment on the request to release property for disposal at the 
Laurinburg-Maxton Airport (MEB), 16701 Airport Rd, Maxton, NC 28364, 
under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). The FAA determined that 
the request to release property at Laurinburg-Maxton Airport (MEB) 
submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the 
Federal Aviation Administration and the release of these properties 
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 request consists of the following:
    SRAA has proposed a land swap to release ``Parcel 1'' (1.57 acres) 
and acquire ``Parcel 2'' (3.22 acres) at the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport 
(MEB) located in Maxton, North Carolina. The City of Laurinburg and 
Town of Maxton jointly own the tract of land formerly known as the 
Laurinburg-Maxton Airbase. ``Parcel 1'' is a part of the aforementioned 
lands which were conveyed to the City of Laurinburg and Town of Maxton 
by the United States of America by Deed dated October 27, 1947, and 
recorded in Book 2-D, at Page 367, Scotland County Registry, and also 
by Deed dated May 7, 1948, and recorded in Book 2-E, at Page 49, 
Scotland County Registry. The land swap is being proposed so MEB can 
release ``Parcel 1'' to the Richmond Community College (RCC) to develop 
a CDL driving training facility and acquire ``Parcel 2'' from Scottland 
County, NC. The land for ``Parcel 1'' is no longer required for current 
or future aeronautical purposes and would not prevent the 
accomplishment of the public airport purpose for which the airport 
facilities were obligated. This request will release this property from 
Federal obligations. This action is taken under the provisions of 49 
U.S.C. 47107(h)(2).
    Any person may inspect the request in person at the FAA office 
listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    In addition, any person may, upon request, inspect the request, 
notice and other documents germane to the request in person at the 
Laurinburg-Maxton Airport.

    Issued in Memphis, Tennessee, on July 22, 2024.

Acting Manager, Memphis Airports District Office, Southern Region.
