the request to release and sell property at Robertson Airport (4B8)

    The following is a brief overview of the request: Robertson Field 
Airport (4B8) is proposing a release of Federal obligations for 0.9 
acres of landside airport property, which also encompasses 0.4 acres 
for slope easements and a drainage right of way, for the purpose of a 
planned extension of a multi-use public recreation trail. The sale of 
the subject property will result in the release of land and surface 
rights at Robertson Airport (4B8) 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, and the property will be used for recreational purposes.
    This release does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to 
financially assist in the disposal of the subject airport properties 
nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the 
FAA.
