SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the provisions of Title 49, U.S.C. 
47151(d), and 47153(c), the FAA is considering a proposal from the Port 
of Skagit to release approximately 125 acres of airport land. The Port 
has invested significant funds for commercial subdivisions and 
installation of critical infrastructure in Divisions 5 and 7, but 
despite the ready-to-build condition and years of steady marketing the 
Port has not been able to attract a suitable private-sector development 
on a leased basis.
    Paccar, Inc., a private sector corporation, has now presented the 
Port with an offer to purchase. The Port commission has declared a 
portion of Division 5 and all of Division 7 (``the property'') surplus 
to the needs of Port of Skagit and desires to sell the property to 
Paccar in order to generate new income to be used for the benefit of 
the Airport.

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on September 27, 2017.
Jason Ritchie,
Assistant Manager, Seattle Airports District Office.
