Notice of Intent To Rule on a Land Release Request at Elkins, 
Randolph County Regional Airport, Elkins, WV

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is requesting public comment on the Elkins, Randolph 
County Regional Airport Authority's proposal to change 2.03 acres of 
airport property at Elkins, Randolph County Regional Airport, Elkins, 
West Virginia from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and to enter 
into a long term non-aeronautical lease concerning the subject 
property.
    In accordance with federal regulations this notice is required to 
be published in the Federal Register 30 days before the FAA can approve 
of this proposal and grant the land release request.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 24, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered to 
the following address: Nils A. Heinke, President, Elkins, Randolph 
County Regional Airport, 400 Airport Road, Elkins, West Virginia 26241, 
304-636-2726.
    And at the FAA Beckley Airports Field Office:, Matthew DiGiulian, 
Manager, Beckley Airports Field Office, 176 Airport Circle, Room 101, 
Beaver, West Virginia, (304) 252-6216.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Connie Boley-Lilly, Program 
Specialist, Beckley Airports Field Office, location listed above.
    The request for change in use of on-airport property may be 
reviewed in person at this same location.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following is a brief overview of the 
request:
    The Elkins, Randolph County Regional Airport Authority, requests to 
change the use of 2.03 acres of on-airport property from aeronautical 
to non-aeronautical use and to enter into a long term non-aeronautical 
lease concerning this property. No land shall be sold as part of this 
land release request. The property is situated on the southeast corner 
of the airport. The Emerson Phares Building is an 80' x 146' brick and 
mortar building situated on 2.03 acres. This building was built in 1988 
for the purpose of housing an FAA Flight Service Station. It is no 
longer needed by the FAA for that purpose. The release is being 
requested in order to re-classify the building as non-aeronautical use 
for the purpose of entering into a long term lease agreement with the 
Randolph County Commission. The lease term will be for a minimum of 30 
years to utilize the building as a 911 Emergency Services 
Communications Center. The release of the property to facilitate the 
reclassification of the building will result in a direct benefit to the 
Airport Authority which will be realized in the form of monetary gain 
from the collection of rental/lease fees. The 2.03 acre area requested 
to be designated as non-aeronautical is unable to be utilized for 
aviation purposes because it is located outside the airport perimeter 
fence, and airside operations area, and is inaccessible by aircraft. 
The subject acreage is currently being used as rental property and once 
was occupied by an FAA Flight Service Station. The purpose of this 
request is to permanently change the use of the property given there is 
no potential for future aviation use, as demonstrated by the Airport 
Layout Plan. Subsequent to the implementation of the proposed change in 
use, rents received by the airport from this property must be used in 
accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of 
Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 
1999.
    Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office 
address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment. All 
comments will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.

    Issued in Beaver, West Virginia June 9, 2017.
