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.

**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 AviationAdministration 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 orless 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 FAA to be related to the application in person at the Marshall Memorial Municipal Airport.
