SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 subject property is located within Airport Parcels 1 and 2 and is currently used for agricultural purposes and approach surface protection. Airspace rights will be retained for continued approach surface protection. A portion of the airport perimeter road and fence are also located within the subject property. The Minnesota Department of Transportation will construct a new fence and new perimeter road along the adjusted airport property boundary once the subject property is released from airport property. Airport Parcel 1 was incorporated into city limits by Ordinance 338, dated August 2, 1949. Airport Parcel 2 was acquired in 1977 with Airport Development Aid Program (ADAP) grant number ADAP-01. An appraisal of the approximate 1.37-acre property was conducted and the airport sponsor will receive fair market value for the proposed sale.

The disposition of proceeds from the sale of this airport property will be in accordance with section 47107(b) of Title 49, United States Code.

This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of the subject airport property at the Bemidji Regional Airport, Bemidji, Minnesota from federal land covenants, subject to a reservation for continuing right of flight as well as restrictions on the released property as required in FAA Order 5190.6B section 22.16.
