SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The FAA invites public comment on the 
request for a Land Release of a 6.1 acre airport owned parcel located 
at 1612 Coates Avenue, NY, under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47125(a). 
Based on a full review, the FAA determined that the Land Release 
request for the parcel in question Avenue parcel, submitted by the Town 
of Islip on behalf of the Long Island MacArthur Airport, met the 
procedural requirements.
    The Town of Islip requested a Land Release of an airport owned 
parcel, not contiguous to the airport and located at 1612 Coates 
Avenue, Holbrook, NY. The airport has determined that the parcel is not 
suitable for aeronautical activity and it is no longer needed for 
aeronautical operations. The revenue generated by the sale will be used 
for airport purposes.
    The property has been under Airport ownership since 1989 and it is 
no longer needed for aviation purposes. There exits private sector 
interest to develop the property in accordance with current zoning. 
Such development would be consistent with the surrounding area and 
interest in residential development.
    Transferring the property to the private sector and allowing 
private sector investment would be of benefit to the Town of Islip, the 
airport, and the surrounding area by providing up to nine single family 
homes in a residential area with high demand. The land release would be 
contingent on deed restrictions for the new residential units to ensure 
the interest of the airport are considered with any new development 
consistent with Order 5190.6B Ch. 22. All proceeds generated from the 
sale of the property must be used exclusively by the airport in 
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and the FAA's policy on revenue use. 
Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office 
address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment on the 
proposed Land Release application for an airport owned parcel. All 
comments will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.
