DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance;
Gerald R. Ford International Airport, Grand Rapids, Michigan
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 sale of the airport property.
The proposal consists of 3 parcels of land totaling approximately 16.33
acres. Current use and present condition is vacant grassland. The land
was acquired under FAA Project Nos. 8-26-0039-02 and 91-2-3-26-0039-
1292. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to
dispose of the property. The proposal concerns selling the land to the
County of Kent, Michigan to provide a right-of-way for the proposed
36th Street extension in the northeast quadrant of 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 disposal of the airport property will
be in accordance with 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 January 5, 2003.
