SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

to release approximately 15.9323± acres 

of airport property at The Des Moines 

International Airport (DSM) under the 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On 

February 19, 2015, the Director of 

Engineering & Planning at The Des 

Moines International Airport requested 

from the FAA that approximately 

15.9323± acres of property be released 

for sale to the Electro Management 

Corporation for use as a distribution 

warehouse consistent with the zoning 

ordinances of the City. On April 5, 2016, 

the FAA determined that the request to 

release property at The Des Moines 

International Airport (DSM) submitted 

by the Sponsor meets the procedural 

requirements of the Federal Aviation 

Administration and the release 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 Des Moines International Airport 

(DSM) is proposing the release of airport 

property totaling 15.9323 acres, more or 

less. This land is to be used for a 

distribution warehouse for the Electro 

Management Corporation. 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 sale of the 

subject property will result in the land 

at The Des Moines International Airport 

(DSM) being changed from aeronautical 

to non-aeronautical 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 value for 

the property, which will be 

subsequently reinvested in another 

eligible airport improvement project for 

general aviation facilities at The Des 

Moines International Airport. 

Any person may inspect, by 

appointment, the request in person at 

the FAA office listed above under 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 Des 

Moines International Airport.
