Federal Aviation Administration
Public Notice For Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance;
Former Willmar Municipal Airport, Willmar, MN
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 authorize the release of 138.33 acres of airport property
at the former Willmar Municipal Airport, Willmar, MN. The land will be
used for an industrial park. The FAA issued a
[[Page 60168]]
Categorical Exclusion on August 8, 2012.
The City of Willmar built a new airport in 2006, therefore the
acreage being released is not needed for aeronautical use. The 138.33
acres are on the east side of the former Willmar Municipal Airport,
more specifically west of County Road 5 and north of Willmar Avenue SW.
The acreage was originally acquired with City of Willmar funds. There
are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the
property. The fair market value of this land is $729,100 and will be
applied to the new Willmar Municipal Airport for operating and
maintaining 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.
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 November 1, 2012.
