Administration, Northwest Mountain 

Region, Denver Airports District Office, 

26805 E. 68th Avenue, Suite 224,

The request to release property may 

be reviewed, by appointment, in person 

at this same location. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

invites public comment on the request 

to release property at the Boulder 

Municipal Airport under the provisions 

of the AIR 21 (49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2)). 

The FAA Modernization and Reform 

Act of 2012, HR 658, Section 817, gave 

the Secretary of Transportation the 

authorization to grant an airport, city, or 

county release from any of the terms, 

conditions, reservations, or restrictions 

contained in a deed under which the 

United States conveyed to the airport, 

city, or county an interest in real 

property for airport purposes pursuant 

to Section 16 of the Federal Airport Act 

(60 Stat. 179) or Section 23 of the 

Airport and Airway Development Act of 

1970 (84 Stat. 232). 

On March 18, 2013, the FAA 

determined that the request to release 

property at the Boulder Municipal 

Airport submitted by the City of Boulder 

meets the procedural requirements of 

the Federal Aviation Administration. 

The FAA may approve the request, in 

whole or in part, no later than May 3, 

2013. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The City of Boulder is proposing the 

release from the terms, conditions, 

reservations, and restrictions on a 2.6 

acre parcel of property acquired by the 

City of Boulder on August 8, 1958. No 

FAA funds were used in its purchase 

and no improvements have been 

conducted on the parcel using FAA 

funds. This parcel has since been 

identified on the Airport Layout Plan for 

future release as it is not conducive to 

construction of improvements related to 

the airport due to its sloping terrain and 

small, narrow configuration. All 

proceeds from the sale of this parcel 

will be at fair market value, and will 

remain in the airport fund and will 

provide the airport with matching funds 

for FAA and state grants, in addition to 

improving airside infrastructure. The 

City will ensure that the property carries 

an avigation easement if sold and that 

no hazard will be created. As airport 

land, this parcel was originally zoned as 

‘‘Public’’. In preparation for release, this 

parcel was given a new zoning of ‘‘Light 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 64 / Wednesday, April 3, 2013 / Notices 20169 

Industrial’’, which is the closest 

equivalent to its ‘‘Public’’ previous 

zoned designation; thus, its potential 

use remains generally unchanged. 

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 

germane to the application in person at 

the Boulder Municipal Airport.

Comment on Surplus Property Release 

at Sikorsky Memorial Airport, in

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Request for Public Comments. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Title 

49, U.S.C. 47153(d), notice is being 

given that the FAA is considering a 

request from Sikorsky Memorial 

Airport, in Bridgeport, CT to waive the 

surplus property requirements for

Airport, in Bridgeport, CT. The subject 

parcels have been used for nonaeronautical purposes for over 25 years 

under temporary, partial release of 

surplus property requirements. It has 

been determined through study and 

master planning that the subject parcels 

will not be needed for aeronautical 

purposes, rather the proceeds of the sale 

will be used as the sponsors share of 

needed safety area improvement 

projects. Full and permanent relief of 

the surplus property requirements on 

this specific parcel will allow the 

airport to make the necessary aviationsafety improvements on the airfield.
