Public Notice For Waiver for Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance at 
Big Spring McMahon-Wrinkle Airport, Big Spring, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Intent for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a 
proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to 
nonaeronautical use and to authorize the conversion of the airport 
property. The proposal consists of one parcel of land containing a 
total of approximately 120.4 acres and one parcel of land containing a 
total of approximately 86.0 acres.
    Ownership of the associated property transferred Webb Air Force 
Base to the City of Big Spring via an ``Indenture'' between the United 
States of America and the City of Big Spring, Texas on October 6, 1978. 
The land comprising this parcel is outside the forecasted need for 
aviation development and, thus, is no longer needed for indirect or 
direct aeronautical use. The airport wishes to develop this land for 
compatible commercial, nonaeronautical use. The income from the 
conversion of this parcel will benefit the aviation community by 
reinvestment in the airport. Approval does not constitute a commitment 
by the FAA to financially assist in the conversion of the subject 
airport property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid 
funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the conversion 
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 April 21, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this document to Mr. Cameron Bryan, Federal 
Aviation Administration, Acting Manager, Texas Airports Development 
Office, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.
