Notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request from the Fairbanks International Airport to release 40 (±) acres of federally obligated airport property at the Fairbanks International Airport, Fairbanks, Alaska.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The property is located northwest of South Vanhorn and 5th Wheel Streets. The anticipated use of the property will be to facilitate expansion of a privately owned gravel mining company. The parcel is currently depicted on the approved Airport Layout Plan as undeveloped property with no planned aeronautical development. The property will be released of its federal obligations given the land is no longer required by the Fairbanks International Airport for aeronautical purposes. The property will be sold at the Fair Market Value (FMV) based on appraisal. Section 125 of The Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) requires the FAA to provide an opportunity for public notice and comment prior to the “waiver” or “modification” of a sponsor's Federal obligation to use certain airport land for non-aeronautical purposes.
