SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), 
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be 
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may 
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus 
property conveyance deeds or grant agreements.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The County of San Diego, Department of Public Works, requested a 
release from Federal surplus property and grant assurance obligations 
for approximately 0.25 acres of airport land to allow for its sale and 
granting of an access easement. The property was originally acquired 
pursuant to the Surplus Property Act of 1944 and was deeded to the 
County of San Diego on August 17, 1956. The property is located in the 
rural community of Ocotillo Wells, in San Diego County, California, 
approximately 90 miles outside of downtown San Diego. The subject 
parcel and access easement are unimproved and located outside a berm 
surrounding the dry lake bed in which the airport's two runways are 
located. The access easement would provide an entrance to the subject 
parcel. This area is located along the eastern perimeter of the 
Airport, through one of the Airport's Runway Protection Zones (RPZ). 
Both areas are currently used as open space buffer zones, with a 
portion of the Access Easement used as RPZ. The future use and highest 
and best use would be expected to be the same as the current use. There 
are no basic utilities available in the area. The subject parcel abuts 
state park land which is intended to be used for primary access to the 
subject parcel. The access easement will only be provided if state 
parks changes the land use and access to the surrounding the Airport.
    The sale price of the parcel will be based on an appraisal at fair 
market value. The sales proceeds that the County of San Diego will 
receive will provide improvements at the Airport, including a transient 
aircraft parking ramp and an informational kiosk. The sale of the 
property will not interfere with the airport or its operation, thereby 
serving the interests of civil aviation.
