SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the

Terminal Ave., Lot #7, at the Ottumwa Regional Airport (OTM) under the 
provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On March 4, 2015, the Airport 
Manager at the Ottumwa Regional Airport requested from the FAA that 
approximately 2.80 acres of property, Lot #7, be released for sale to 
Friends of NAS Ottumwa for use as a museum for the Ottumwa Naval Air 
Station history. On March 12, 2015, the FAA determined that the request 
to release property at the Ottumwa Regional Airport (OTM) submitted by 
the Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation 
Administration and the release of the property does not and will not 
impact future aviation needs at the airport. The FAA may approve the 
request, in whole or in part, no sooner than thirty days after the 
publication of this Notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    Ottumwa Regional Airport (OTM) is proposing the release of one 
parcel, Lot #7, containing 2.80 acres, more or less. The release of 
land is necessary to comply with Federal Aviation Administration Grant 
Assurances that do not allow federally acquired airport property to be 
used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the subject property will 
result in the land at the Ottumwa Regional Airport (OTM) being changed 
from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and release the lands from 
the conditions of the Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant 
Assurances. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), 
the airport will receive fair market value for the property, which will 
be subsequently reinvested in another eligible airport improvement 
project for general aviation facilities at the Ottumwa Regional 
Airport.
    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 determined by the FAA to be 
related to the application in person at the Ottumwa Regional Airport.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO on March 12, 2015.

Division Manager, Airports Division.
