The subject property is located within Airport Parcels 1 and 2 and
is currently used for agricultural purposes and approach surface
protection. Airspace rights will be retained for continued approach
surface protection. A portion of the airport perimeter road and fence
are also located within the subject property. The Minnesota Department

along the adjusted airport property boundary once the subject property
is released from airport property. Airport Parcel 1 was incorporated
into city limits by Ordinance 338, dated August 2, 1949. Airport Parcel
2 was acquired in 1977 with Airport Development Aid Program (ADAP)
grant number ADAP-01. An appraisal of the approximate 1.37-acre
property was conducted and the airport sponsor will receive fair market
value for the proposed sale.
The disposition of proceeds from the sale of this airport property
will be in accordance with section 47107(b) of Title 49, United States
Code.
This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of
the subject airport property at the Bemidji Regional Airport, Bemidji,
Minnesota from federal land covenants, subject to a reservation for
continuing right of flight as well as restrictions on the released
property as required in FAA Order 5190.6B section 22.16. Approval does
not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the
disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination of
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA.
