SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release approximately 4.00+ acres of airport property at 
Strother Field (WLD) under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On 
March 2, 2016, the Airport Manager of Strother Field requested from the 
FAA that approximately 4.00+ acres of property be released for sale to 
the Four County Medical Health Center. On April 12, 2016, the FAA 
determined that the request to release property at Strother Field (WLD) 
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:
    Strother Field (WLD) is proposing the release of a parcel, totaling 
4.00+ acres. 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 Strother Field 
(WLD) being changed from aeronautical to nonaeronautical use and 
release the surface lands from the conditions of the AIP Grant 
Agreement Grant Assurances, but retaining any mineral rights. 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 Strother Field wastewater system.
    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 Strother Field.

     Issued in Kansas City, MO on April 15, 2016.
Jim A. Johnson,
Manager, Airports Division.
