SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release approximately 1.358+ acres of airport property at
the Colonel James Jabara Airport (AAO) under the provisions of 49
U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On September 9, 2014, the City of Wichita's Airport
Engineer requested from the FAA that approximately 1.358+ acres of
property be released for sale to Sedgwick County Public Works for the
purpose of road widening and utilities. On January 22, 2015, the FAA
determined that the request to release property at Colonel James Jabara
Airport (AAO) submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural
requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the release 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:
Colonel James Jabara Airport (AAO) is proposing the release of a
parcel, totaling 1.358+ acres. 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
land at the Colonel James Jabara Airport (AAO) being changed from
aeronautical to nonaeronautical use and release the surface lands from
the conditions of the AIP Grant Agreement Grant Assurances, but
retaining the mineral rights. In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will receive fair market value
for the property.
Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In
addition, any person may, upon appointment and request, inspect the
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be
related to the application in person at the Colonel James Jabara
Airport.
Issued in Kansas City, MO on April 14, 2015.
Jim A. Johnson,
Manager, Airports Division.
