SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to change approximately 10 acres of airport property at the
Rolla National Airport (VIH) from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical
for revenue producing use. The parcel of land is located along the
Southwest corner of the airport, near Missouri State Highway 28. This
parcel will be used for construction and operation of The Brewer
Science Building. Brewer Science is a high technology electronics firm
that produces products such as anti-reflective coating, lift-off
materials, protective coatings, temporary bondings, etc. which is
headquartered in Rolla. The firm conducts business around the world
with an emphasis in North America, Europe and China.
No airport landside or airside facilities are presently located on
this parcel, nor are airport developments contemplated in the future.
There is no current use of the surface of the parcel. The parcel will
serve as a revenue producing lot with the proposed change from
aeronautical to non-aeronautical. The request submitted by the Sponsor
meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration and the change to non-aeronautical status of the
property does not and will not impact future aviation needs at the
airport. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, no
sooner than thirty days after the publication of this Notice.
The following is a brief overview of the request:
The Rolla National Airport (VIH) is proposing the release of one
parcel, of 10 acres, more or less from aeronautical to non-
aeronautical. 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
rental of the subject property will result in the land at the Rolla
National Airport (VIH) being changed from aeronautical to
nonaeronautical use and release the
[[Page 15805]]
lands from the conditions of the Airport Improvement Program Grant
Agreement Grant Assurances. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)
(i) and (iii), the airport will receive fair market rental value for
the property. The annual income from rent payments will generate a
long-term, revenue-producing stream that will further the Sponsor's
obligation under FAA Grant Assurance number 24, to make the Rolla
National Airport as financially self-sufficient as possible.
Following is a legal description of the subject airport property at
the Rolla National Airport (VIH):
A fractional part of the Southwest Quarter of Section 2, Township
39 North, Range 8 West of the 5th P.M. described as follows: Commencing
