Mr. J. Brian O'Neill, Executive Director/CEO, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, 480-988-7608.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The perpetual easement was transferred to the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority in 1998 from the United States Air Force after the Base Realignment and Closure process. The easement will be released to the current property owner for compatible non-aeronautical development. Such use of the land represents a compatible land use that will not interfere with the airport or its operation, thereby protecting the interests of civil aviation. The airport will be compensated for the fair market value of the use of the land.

In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 10-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be published in the Federal Register 30 days before the DOT Secretary may waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus property conveyance deeds or grant agreements.

Issued in El Segundo, California, on April 15, 2025.

Brian Q. Armstrong,

Manager, Safety and Standards Branch, Airports Division, Western-Pacific Region.
