BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Release From Federal 

Surplus Property and Grant Assurance 

Obligations at Porterville Municipal 

Airport, Porterville, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of request to release 

airport land. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes to rule 

and invites public comment on the 

application for a release of 

approximately 26 acres of airport 

property at the Porterville Municipal 

Airport (Airport), Porterville, California 

from all conditions contained in the 

Surplus Property Deed and Grant 

Assurances because the parcel of land is 

not needed for airport purposes. The 

land requested to be released is located 

at the southwest corner of the airport 

and distant from the airfield. The land 

had previously been set aside as 

mitigation for a kit fox preserve, which 

prevented any airport activity on the 

property. The wildlife designation was 

recently eliminated allowing the City of 

Porterville (City) to acquire the property 

at its fair market value, thereby serving 

the interest of civil aviation. It will be 

developed for another purpose 

compatible with the airport and the new 

use will not interfere with the airport or 

its operation. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 20, 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Comments on the request may be mailed 

or delivered to the FAA at the following 

address: Robert Lee, Airports 

Compliance Specialist, Federal Aviation 

Administration, San Francisco Airports 

District Office, Federal Register 

Comment, 1000 Marina Boulevard, 

Suite 220, Brisbane, CA 94005. In 

addition, one copy of the comment 

submitted to the FAA must be mailed or 

delivered to Mr. Bradley D. Dunlap, 

Community Development Director, 291 

N. Main Street, Porterville, CA 93257. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 

Aviation Investment and Reform Act for 

the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 

106–181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), 

this notice must be published in the 

Federal Register 30 days before the 

Secretary may waive any condition 

imposed on a federally obligated airport 

by surplus property conveyance deeds 

or grant agreements. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The City of Porterville, California 

requested a release from Federal surplus 

property and grant assurance obligations 

for approximately 26 acres of airport 

land to allow for its sale. The property 

was originally acquired pursuant to the 

Surplus Property Act of 1944 and was 

deeded to the City of Porterville on June 

16, 1948. The parcel of land is located 

some distance from the airfield in the 

southwest corner of the airport; outside 

of the airport fence line; east of the 

secondary access road; and north of 

Teapot Dome Avenue. Due to its 

location and undeveloped condition, 

the property cannot be readily used and 

will not be needed for airport purposes. 

The property had been set aside as 

part of a 40-acre kit fox preserve and 

could not be used for any other purpose. 

Based on biological surveys in 2005 and 

2006, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

determined that the preserve site was no 

longer needed. By purchasing 

conservation credits, the City of 

Porterville was able to obtain an 

amendment to the 1990 Biological 

Opinion that established the kit fox 

preserve in order to eliminate the 

wildlife designation. The land was 

never used for airport purposes and is 

not needed for future airport use. The 

City of Porterville will acquire the 

property and use approximately 16 

acres for City related purposes and 

future development. The City will 

compensate the Airport fund for the fair 

market value of the land. 

The sale price of the parcel will be 

based on an appraisal of its fair market 

value. The sales proceeds are being 

devoted to airport operations and 

capital projects. The reuse of the 

property will not interfere with the 

airport or its operation, thereby serving 

the interests of civil aviation.
