[[Page 26209]]

property at the Colorado Springs Airport submitted by the Colorado 
Springs Airport meets the procedural requirements of the Federal 
Aviation Administration.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Colorado Springs Airport is proposing the release from the 
terms, conditions, reservations, and restrictions on approximately 
27.31 acres of federally obligated land at the Colorado Springs 
Airport. The said parcel is a portion of a larger 110 acre available 
land mass north of Stewart Road and east of Powers Boulevard. The 
proposed release would allow for construction of a cargo facility which 
is consistent with the permitted land use. The airport property being 
proposed for release is bisected by a roadway and Sand Creek drainage 
system and does not have access to the airfield, and is currently 
undeveloped and is not planned or situated for aeronautical activity. 
The property will be sold at fair market value and the sponsor will 
reinvest the revenue into the airport. The property release conveyance 
will include appropriate continuing right of flight and continuing 
restriction clauses that will prohibit any activity on the land that 
would interfere with or be a hazard to the flight of aircraft over the 
land or to and from the airport, or that interferes with air navigation 
and communications facilities serving the 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 germane to the application 
in person at the Colorado Springs Airport.

    Issued in Denver, Colorado on May 16, 2017.

Manager, Denver Airports District Office.
