SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release property at the Grand Junction Regional Airport 
under the provisions of the AIR 21 (49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2)).
    The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, HR 658, Section 817, 
gave the Secretary of Transportation the authorization to grant an 
airport, city, or county release from any of the terms, conditions, 
reservations, or restrictions contained in a deed under which the 
United States conveyed to the airport, city, or county an interest in 
real

property for airport purposes pursuant to Section 16 of the Federal 
Airport Act (60 Stat. 179) or Section 23 of the Airport and Airway 
Development Act of 1970 (84 Stat. 232).
    On March 2, 2015, the FAA determined that the request to release 
property from aeronautical use at the Grand Junction Regional Airport 
submitted by the Grand Junction Regional Airport Authority meets the 
procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA 
may approve the request, in whole or in part, no later than April 8, 
2015.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Grand Junction Regional Airport Authority is proposing the 
release from the aeronautical use terms, conditions, reservations, and 
restrictions on 37.057 acres parcel of property conveyed to the City of 
Grand Junction on September 14, 1951 pursuant to Section 16 of the 
Federal Airport Act. All Section 16 property at the airport was 
subsequently conveyed by the City of Grand Junction to the Walker 
Field, Colorado, Public Airport Authority by Warranty Deed dated March 
24, 1975. On August 26, 1988, 18 acres (parcels F, G, I, J, and K) of 
the subject property was granted a deed of release by the FAA to be 
released from aeronautical use, and leased at fair market value in 
generating airport revenue. In 2008, the airport access road adjacent 
to the parcels previously released was upgraded and realigned. Based on 
the new alignment the 18 acres previously released in 1988 are included 
in this proposed release of 37 acres as they overlap with the current 
layout. The proposed release would allow for future non-aeronautical 
uses that may include mixed-use commercial, restaurants, hotels, retail 
shops, industrial and manufacturing, which are permitted under the 
current Planned Airport Development zoning. The proceeds from the 
leasing 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 Grand Junction Regional Airport.

    Issued in Denver, Colorado, on March 2, 2015.
John P. Bauer,
Manager, Denver Airports District Office.
