# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The FAA invites public comment on the request to release a 44.47 acre parcel of airport property at the Philip Billard Airport, (TOP) provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). The Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority requested a release from the FAA to sell a 44.47 acre parcel for continued use as agricultural production. The FAA determined this request to release and sell property at the Philip Bilard Airport (TOP) submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the FAA and the release and sale 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 Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority (TOP) is proposing the release from obligations and sale of a 44.47 acre parcel of airport property. 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 Philip Billard Airport ( ) 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 order to sell the land. 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 use.

                    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 request an appointment to inspect the application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be related to the application in person at the Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority Business Center.                

Issued in Kansas City, MO, on October 15, 2024.

Director, FAA Central Region, Airports Division.
