DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance;
Gerald R. Ford International Airport, Grand Rapids, MI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to
non-aeronautical use and to authorize the lease of the airport
property. The proposal consists of 2 parcels of land with the lease
portion totaling approximately 5.4 acres. Current use and present
condition is partially developed land compatible with local commercial/
industrial zoning classification. The land was acquired under the FAA
Project Numbers 9-20-072-6001, 3-26-0039-02, and 3-26-0055-44208. There
are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to lease the
property, since the land is no longer needed for aeronautical use.
Subject land will provide for the development and expansion of the west
Michigan Aviation Academy (WMAA); and through its lease would result in
generating a predictable long-term revenue stream for the airport.
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. The
disposition of proceeds from the lease of the airport property will be
in accordance FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport
Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 1999.
In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States
Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal Register
30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires the
property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 17, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Documents reflecting this FAA action may be reviewed at the
Detroit Airports District Office.
