SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release approximately 12.33+ acres of airport property at 
Waterloo Regional Airport (ALO) under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 
47107(h)(2). On March 29, 2016, the Director of Aviation at Waterloo 
Regional Airport requested from the FAA that approximately 12.33+ acres 
of property be released for sale to Dahlstrom Development for 
industrial/business development consistent with the zoning ordinances 
of the City. On October 6, 2016, the FAA determined that the request to 
release property at Waterloo Regional Airport (ALO) 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:
    The Waterloo Regional Airport (ALO) is proposing the release of 
airport property totaling 12.33 acres, more or less. This land is to be 
used for industrial/business development to Dahlstrom Development. 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 Waterloo Regional Airport 
(ALO) 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 
Waterloo 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 Waterloo Regional Airport.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO on October 13, 2016.

Manager, Airports Division.
