Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; 
North Vernon Municipal Airport; North Vernon, IN

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 airport from aeronautical use to 
non-aeronautical use and to authorize the lease of the airport 
property. The area is a 224-acre parcel of vacant land located west of 
the airport. The land is presently subject to a farm lease. The land 
was acquired via quitclaim deed dated February 13, 1948, recorded 
February 27, 1948, in Jennings County, Deed Record No. 78, Page No. 
634-636. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to 
lease the property. The land is not needed for aeronautical use, and 
will be sub-let to various future developers as an industrial airpark. 
Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially 
assist in the disposal of the subject airport property nor a 
determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The 
disposition of the proceeds from the lease 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 August 16, 2007.
