Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 30, 2016 / Notices 59713 

Advisory Committee (COMSTAC). The 

Teleconference will take place on 

Wednesday, September 14, 2016 starting 

at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and 

will last approximately one hour. The 

agenda and call-in number will be 

posted at least one week in advance at 

http://www.faa.gov/go/ast. 

The purpose of this teleconference is 

to review draft legislation proposed by 

Representative Jim Bridenstine, 

Oklahoma, 1st District, that would 

authorize the Department of 

Transportation to perform an enhanced 

version of its current payload review 

process and consult with its interagency 

partners to ensure the compliance of 

proposed commercial space activities 

with U.S. treaty obligations, and 

national security and foreign policy 

interests. Examples of the types of 

activities that could fall under this 

authority include commercial space 

stations, satellite servicing, space 

resource utilization, and operations 

beyond Earth orbit. The FAA recently 

used an ad-hoc version of this approach 

to authorize a U.S. company to carry out 

the first private mission on the Moon. 

Interested members of the public may 

submit relevant written statements for 

the COMSTAC members to consider 

under the advisory process. Statements 

may concern the issues and agenda 

items mentioned above and/or 

additional issues that may be relevant 

for the U.S. commercial space 

transportation industry. Interested 

parties wishing to submit written 

statements should contact Michael 

Beavin, COMSTAC Executive Director, 

(the Contact Person listed below) in 

writing (mail or email) by September 9, 

2016, so that the information can be 

made available to COMSTAC members 

for their review and consideration 

before the September 14 teleconference. 

Written statements should be supplied 

in the following formats: one hard copy 

with original signature and/or one 

electronic copy via email. 

An agenda will be posted on the FAA 

Web site at www.faa.gov/go/ast. 

Individuals who plan to participate 

and need special assistance should 

inform the Contact Persons listed below 

in advance of the meeting.

Petition for Exemption 

Docket No.: FAA–2016–5847. 

Petitioner: Fusion Flight, LLC. 

Sections of 14 CFR Affected: 61.113, 

91.151, 91.119, and 91.12. 

Description of Relief Sought: Fusion 

Flight requests an exemption to operate 

an unmanned and autonomous aircraft 

that ascends, powered by a jet engine, 

on a ballistic trajectory up to 16.2 km 

(53,150 ft) AGL and descends, once its 

fuel is consumed, under parachute. The 

petitioner’s purpose is to investigate the 

feasibility of constructing a launch 

vehicle with a jet-engine powered first 

stage, which if possible, has the 

potential to greatly reduce the cost of 

sending payloads into space.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

invites public comment on the request 

to change approximately 15.42± acres of 

airport property at the Marshall 

Memorial Municipal Airport (MHL) 

from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use for revenue producing. 

The parcel of land is located along the 

North line of Fairground Road. This 

parcel will be used for a solar farm. The 

land will be leased to MC Power for the 

solar farm. 

No airport landside or airside 

facilities are presently located on this 

parcel, nor are airport developments 

contemplated in the future. Farming is 

the current use of the surface of the 

parcel. The parcel will serve as a 

revenue producing lot with the 

proposed change from aeronautical to 

non-aeronautical. The request submitted 

by the Sponsor meets the procedural 

requirements of the Federal Aviation 

Administration and the change to nonaeronautical status 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 Marshall Memorial Municipal 

Airport (MHL) is proposing the release 

of one parcel, of 15.42 acres, more or 

less from aeronautical to nonaeronautical. 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 rental of the 

subject property will result in the land 

at the Marshall Memorial Municipal 

Airport (MHL) being changed from 

aeronautical to nonaeronautical 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 rental value for 

the property. The annual income from 

rent payments will generate a long-term, 

revenue-producing stream that will 

further the Sponsor’s obligation under 

FAA Grant Assurance number 24, to 

make the Marshall Memorial Municipal 

Airport as financially self-sufficient as 

possible. 

Following is a legal description of the 

subject airport property at the Marshall 

Memorial Municipal Airport (MHL): 

A tract of land located in the 

Southwest Quarter of Section 22 T50N 

R21W, in Marshall, Saline County, 

Missouri, and further described as 

follows: 

Commencing at the Southwest Corner 

of said section 22, thence along the 

South line of said section, S. 89°09′20′′ 

E. 383.83 feet; Thence N. 00°50′40′′ E. 

20.00 feet, to a point on the East Right 

of Way of U.S. Highway 65, and the 

point of beginning. 

From the point of beginning, thence 

continuing along said Right of Way, on 

a curve to the right, having a radius of 

2,774.79 feet, a distance of 732.57 feet, 

the chord being N. 17°16′20′′ W. 730.45 

feet; thence S. 83°49′30′′ E. 1,163.93 feet; 

thence S. 01°54′00′′ W. 586.19 feet; to 

the North line of Fairground Road; 

thence along said North line N. 

89°09′20′′ 920.98 feet, to the point of 

beginning, containing 15.42 acres. 

Any person may inspect, by 

appointment, the request in person at 

the FAA office listed above FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. In addition, any 

person may, upon appointment and 

request, inspect the application, notice 

and other documents determined by the
