SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), 
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be 
published in the Federal Register not less than 30 days before the

request, under the provisions of AIR 21, to release land at the 
Plymouth Municipal Airport from its federal obligations.
    The Plymouth Municipal has requested to release approximately 27.3 
acres of airport land from federal obligations and to exchange that 
land with approximately 41.5 acres of land, which includes 13.39 acres 
improved by a 3.87 acre producing cranberry bog system currently owned 
by the Piney Wood Cranberry Co., Inc. The 27.3 acres to be released was 
purchased by the Airport as part of the land acquisition site for 
future airport development located in the Town of Plymouth, MA. That 
parcel are made up of portions of parcels 17 and 18A as shown on the 
Exhibit A of the Plymouth Municipal Airport date March 2011. Parcel 17 
is recorded in the Plymouth Registry of Deeds, Book 4907, pages 283-2. 
Parcel 18A is recorded in the Plymouth Registry of Deeds, Book 5607, 
page 395.
    The Airport no longer needs these parcels for future aeronautical 
use. In exchange, the airport will acquire 41.5 acres of land for

    The Airport completed a Real Estate Appraisal Report and Review 
Appraisal for the parcels. The appraisal was conducted in accordance 
with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). 
The appraisal concludes that the Plymouth Municipal Airport will 
receive fair market value for the land that it is releasing in this 
proposed land release and property exchange. In accordance with section 
47107(h) of Title 49 of the United States Code, the FAA invites public 
comment on this proposal.
