SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the

under the provisions of the AIR 21 (49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2)).
    On December 30, 2014, the FAA determined that the request to 
release property at the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport submitted 
by Jefferson County meets the procedural requirements of the Federal 
Aviation Administration. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or 
in part, no later than April 6, 2015.
    The following is a brief overview of the request: Jefferson County 
is proposing the release from the terms, conditions, reservations, and 
restrictions on a 449 acre parcel of property acquired by Jefferson 
County on June 2, 1959. This property was transferred to the Jefferson 
County Airport Authority in April of 1966. With the dissolution of the 
Airport Authority in 1998, this property ownership was then transferred 
back to Jefferson County, as the airport sponsor, January 11, 1999. 
Elevation constraints of this parcel compared to the Runway environment 
makes it unusable for airport development. The property is currently 
undeveloped vacant land. The expected future use of the property is for 
non-aviation development associated with the Verve Innovation Park, as 
well

as the realignment of Simms Street to allow for more aviation 
development to the east. The proceeds for the disposal of the property 
will be at fair market value and the sponsor will utilize the revenue 
to reinvest into future airport development.
    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 germane to the application 
in person at the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport.

    Issued in Denver, Colorado, on February 25, 2015.
John P. Bauer,
Manager, Denver Airports District Office.
