Federal Aviation Administration

Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; 
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Detroit, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a 
proposal to change a portion of the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County 
Airport (DTW) from aeronautical use to non-aeuronautical use and to 
authorize the sale of the airport property .The proposal consists of a 
land exchange between the Wayne County Airport Authority (WCAA) and the 
City of Romulus (City) for the Romulus Department of Public Works (DPW) 
property.
    The Runway 4L/22R construction project at DTW necessitated the WCAA 
acquire the City DPW site on Goddard Road (Parcel 65). A Memorandum of 
Understanding between the WCAA and the City provided that the WCAA 
construct a replacement DPW facility on surplus airport property West 
of relocated Wayne Road and then exchange this property (portions of 
seven parcels) for the former City DPW site. The new DPW facility has 
been constructed and the WCAA/City desire to complete the property 
exchange.
    The WCAA has requested from FAA a ``Release from Federal agreement 
obligated land covenants'' to complete the land exchange. The property 
proposed for release was acquired by the WCAA under FAA Project 
Numbers: 3-26-0026-1991, 3-26-0026-2292, 3-26-0026-3695, 3-26-0026-
4197, and 3-26-0026-4398.
    There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the WCAA to 
exchange property with the City. Approval does not constitute a 
commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the disposal of the 
airport property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid 
funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the disposal of 
the airport property will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and 
Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the 
Federal Register on February 16, 1999.
    In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States 
Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal Register 
30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires the 
property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 20, 2006.
