    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    Maquoketa Municipal Airport (OQW) is proposing the release and sale 
of 3.59-acres 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 Maquoketa Municipal Airport 
(OQW) 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 when the parcel is sold.
