SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is requesting public 
comment on the Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority's (SARAA) 
request to change 7.18 acres of airport property from aeronautical use 
to non-aeronautical use. The acreage in question is subject to the 
Provisions of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 
1949, and the Surplus Property Act of 1944 as amended. In accordance 
with 49 U.S.C. 47151(d), 47153(c), and 47107(h), this notice is 
required to be published in the Federal Register 30 days before waiving 
the condition that such land be used for aeronautical purposes. The 
purpose of the release request is to enable SARAA to generate revenue 
from this property by taking action including, but not limited to, 
entering into a long-term lease agreement with UPS for the purpose of 
constructing and operating a mobile distribution facility.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 10, 2016.

property at the Harrisburg International Airport as available for non-
aeronautical use under the provisions of Section 47125(a) of Title 49 
U.S.C.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    This action will allow the re-designation of the 7.18 acres as non-
aeronautical use on the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). The purpose of the 
release request is that SARAA has determined that it is in its best 
interest to encourage development of land not needed for airport 
development on the approved ALP to increase airport revenues. 
Consistent with this purpose, this release request will enable SARAA to 
enter into a lease agreement with UPS for the purpose of constructing 
and operating a mobile distribution facility. There is to be no sale or 
transfer of property rights in connection with this Airport Layout Plan 
change. Proceeds from the lease of this property will be utilized in 
accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of 
Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 
1999.
    MDT, including the 7.18 acres that are the subject of this release 
request, was the former Olmsted Air Force Base. On June 20, 1967, under 
the provisions of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act 
of 1949, and the Surplus Property Act of 1944, as amended, the Air 
Force ceded Olmsted Air Force Base to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 
for the purpose that it be utilized as an airport. This land was 
conveyed to SARAA by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through its 
Department of Transportation by a deed dated 01/02/1998 and recorded in 
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania book 3008, page 425. On April 21, 2016, 
the Department of Defense concurred with the decision to release the 
National Emergency Use Provision on the 7.18 acres.
    The 7.18 acres is located on the landside of the airport in a 
central area in close proximity to Airport Drive, and the long-term 
parking area. To the north, the area is bordered by Airport Drive, 
Amtrak Railroad, and Route 230. To the south of the area lies the 
Pennsylvania Air National Guard (PANG) 193rd Special Operations Wing 
Complex. The subject parcel is defined as Dauphin County tax 
identification Parcel 36-024-001. The property is currently depicted on 
the approved ALP on record as airport property and consists of asphalt 
pavement that is currently used as an overflow long-term vehicle 
parking lot. MDT has sufficient parking space available to accommodate 
existing and future anticipated needs. This parcel is not needed for 
future aeronautical development as shown on the airport's ALP.
    Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office 
address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment. All 
comments will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.

    Issued in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, May 4, 2016.

Manager, Harrisburg Airports District Office.
