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:
    Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) is proposing the release 
of airport property totaling 17.5 acres to be developed and used for a 
medical facility with no overnight patient bed services. 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 Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) 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 aviation facilities at Myrtle Beach 
International 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 Myrtle Beach International 
Airport.
