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. The proposal consists of one parcel of land, totaling approximately 6.2 acres. Current use and present condition is vacant grassland. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property. The land was acquired utilizing federal funds under Grant 9-20-072-6001, dated April 13, 1961. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the lease of the subject airport property nor a determination that all measures covered by the program are eligible for Airport Improvement program funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the lease of the airport property will be in accordance with the FAA Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 1999. This proposal is for approximately 6.2 acres in total.
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. The proposed land will be leased to allow for a new public military air museum and technical aviation education facility. The proposed land is South of John J. Oostema Blvd. and East of Patterson Avenue. The proposed buildings will not exceed 45 feet above ground level at the site. The proposed buildings will be required to meet FAA airspace requirements prior to construction. Currently, this location and use does not appear to impact current FAA safety requirements or future airport development. The proceeds from the leases of land will be used for airport improvements and operation expenses at Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
DATES:
Comments must be received on or before August 27, 2001.
