SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release property at the Morgantown Municipal Airport under 
the provisions of Section 47125(a) of Title 49 U.S.C. On July 21, 2015, 
the FAA determined that the request to release property at the 
Morgantown Municipal Airport (MGW), WV, submitted by the City of 
Morgantown, Sponsor for the Morgantown Municipal Airport, met the 
procedural requirements.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Morgantown Municipal Airport is proposing the release of 
approximately 95.70 acres of fee simple release to permit the transfer 
of such Property to the Monongalia County Development Authority 
(``MCDA''). Thereafter, ``MCDA'' will construct, or cause the 
construction, and operate, or cause the operation, of a Business Park 
on the Property. The Property to which this request relates is not a 
viral part of, or necessary for, the Sponsor's operation and 
development of Morgantown Municipal Airport (MGW). Therefore, it has 
been determined by the Sponsor that the most productive use of the 
Property is commercial development subsequent to its transfer to the 
``MCDA''. The development of the Property demonstrates that significant 
private investment can occur at MGW and shall serve to establish 
quality standards for future investments. The release and transfer of 
this property will allow the Sponsor to develop the roadway and 
utilities which will benefit this property, the hangar site, and the 
landside development site. This release will enhance the development of 
private aviation and commercial development of the east side of the 
airport.

    Issued in Beckley, West Virginia, on July 16, 2015.
Matthew P. DiGiulian,
Manager, Beckley Airport Field Office, Eastern Region.

    Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office 
address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment on the 
proposed lease. All comments will be considered by the FAA to the 
extent practicable.

     Issued in Beaver, West Virginia, July 21, 2015.

Matthew DiGiulian,

Manager, Beckley Airports Field Office.
