SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release approximately 2.31  acres of airport 
property at The Des Moines International Airport (DSM) under the 
provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On September 7, 2016, the Director 
of Engineering & Planning at The Des Moines International Airport 
requested from the FAA that approximately 2.31  acres of 
property be released for sale to Glenn and April Brown for use as 
single family residence, consistent with the zoning ordinances of the 
City. On October 3, 2016, the FAA determined that the request to 
release property at The Des Moines International Airport (DSM) 
submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the 
Federal Aviation Administration and the release of the property does 
not and will not impact future aviation needs at the airport. The FAA 
may approve the request, in whole or in part, no sooner

than thirty days after the publication of this notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Des Moines International Airport (DSM) is proposing the release 
of airport property totaling 2.31 acres, more or less. This land is to 
be used for single family residence for Glenn and April Brown. The 
release of land is necessary to comply with Federal Aviation 
Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow federally acquired 
airport property to be used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the 
subject property will result in the land at The Des Moines 
International Airport (DSM) being changed from aeronautical to non-
aeronautical use and release the lands from the conditions of the 
Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant Assurances. In 
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will 
receive fair market value for the property, which will be subsequently 
reinvested in another eligible airport improvement project for general 
aviation facilities at The Des Moines International Airport.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at 
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In 
addition, any person may, upon appointment and request, inspect the 
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be 
related to the application in person at The Des Moines International 
Airport.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO, on October 5, 2016.
Jim A. Johnson,
Manager, Airports Division.
