Notice of Intent To Rule on a Request by Clinton County for FAA 
Approval of a Land Release From Federal Obligations of the Site 
Formerly Known as Clinton County Airport, Plattsburgh, NY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to rule and invite public comment for a 
request by Clinton County for FAA approval of a Land Release from 
Federal obligations of the site formerly known as Clinton County 
Airport, Plattsburgh, NY.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 5, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered to 
the following address:

Rodney L. Brown, Deputy County Administrator, Clinton County Government 
Center, 137 Margaret Street, Suite 208, Plattsburgh, NY 12901, (518) 
565-4709.
and at the FAA New York Airports District Office:

Evelyn Martinez, Manager, New York Airports District Office, 1 Aviation 
Plaza, Jamaica, NY 11434, (718) 995-5771.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ryan Allen, Community Planner, New 
York Airports District Office, location listed above. (718) 995-5677.
    The request by Clinton County for FAA approval of a Land Release 
from Federal obligations of the site formerly known as Clinton County 
Airport may be reviewed in person at the New York Airports District 
Office located at 159-30 Rockaway Blvd., Suite 111, Jamaica, NY 11434.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment for the 
request by Clinton County for FAA approval of a Land Release from 
Federal obligations of the site formerly known as Clinton County 
Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47125(a). Based on a full 
review, the FAA determined that this request met the procedural 
requirements.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:

    The total 615 acre site formerly known as Clinton County Airport 
in Plattsburgh, NY was decommissioned and closed by the owner, and 
all operations and assets were subsequently transferred to 
Plattsburgh International Airport. Clinton County, owner of the 
site, determined that the airport was no longer needed for airport 
purposes and

[[Page 53614]]

that the aviation system would benefit from the closure and transfer 
of operations to Plattsburgh International Airport. The sponsor is 
requesting the release of Federal grant assurance obligations on the 
site formerly known as Clinton County Airport to allow for the sale 
of the property at fair market value. Sale proceeds would be 
utilized to offset costs associated with the closure and transfer, 
and any additional proceeds would be invested into Plattsburgh 
International Airport in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107 and the 
FAA's policy on revenue use.

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

    Issued in Jamaica, New York, August 28, 2015.

Manager, New York Airports District Office.
