SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release airport property for non-aeronautical purposes at 
the Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE) under the provisions of 
Section 47125(a) of Title 49 U.S.C. On November 6, 2017, the FAA 
determined that the request to release airport property for non-
aeronautical purposes at the Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE), 
Pennsylvania, submitted by the City of Philadelphia, Department of 
Aviation, met the procedural requirements. Final release of the 
property is subject to FAA's NEPA determination made on August 11, 
2017.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The City requests the release of a portion of airport property 
totaling 8.36 acres, which is no longer needed for aeronautical 
purposes. The 8.36 acres were part of 54.432 acres known as Tract 4. 
This property is located off Academy Road in the City of Philadelphia, 
Philadelphia County and was originally purchased with federal funds 
under the Federal Aid for Airports Program (FAAP) Grant 9-36-040-5901. 
The 8.36 acres requested for non-aeronautical use are to be sold to UL 
Grant Avenue, LLC, to be used for retail development and a maintenance 
building for the adjacent Union League Golf Club. The property is 
located in the southeast portion of existing airport property and is 
currently vacant. As shown on PNE's approved Airport Layout Plan, the 
property does not serve a current aeronautical purpose and is not 
needed for current or future airport development. The proceeds from the 
Fair Market Value (FMV) sale of the 8.36 acres of property will be 
added to the airport's operating revenue or will be used for eligible 
airport development purposes, as outlined in FAA Order 5190.6B, Airport 
Compliance Manual.
    Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office 
address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment on the 
proposed release. All comments will be considered by the FAA to the 
extent practicable.

    Issued in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, on February 21, 2018.
Lori K. Pagnanelli,
Manager, Harrisburg Airports District Office.
