SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration is requesting public 
comment on a request by the Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport Authority, 
Smyrna, TN, to release land at the Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport. 
The request consists of approximately 2.01 acres of property non-

of the airport. This property is a part of the parcel deeded to the 
airport from Government Service Administration (GSA) when Stewart Air 
Force base was closed and decommissioned in 1970. It is the former 
location of a Non Directional Beacon (NDB), which was deemed obsolete 
and decommissioned in September 2013. This release will allow the 
property to be sold for airport revenue. This action is taken under the 
provisions of Section 125 of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment 
Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21).

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 24, 2016.
