Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land; Cherry Capital 
Airport, Traverse City, Michigan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a proposal to change 63.04 acres of 
airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to 
authorize the lease of airport property located at Cherry Capital 
Airport, Traverse City, Michigan. The aforementioned land is not needed 
for aeronautical use.
    The proposed property is located east of the airport terminal area 
along South Airport Road at the Cherry Capital Airport. The property is 
currently a wooded area maintained for compatible land use surrounding 
the airfield. The proposed non-aeronautical land use would be for 
compatible commercial/industrial development, allowing the airport to 
become more self-sustaining.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 28, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review by appointment at the FAA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    The property is currently a wooded area maintained for compatible 
land use surrounding the airfield. The proposed non-aeronautical land 
use would be for compatible commercial/industrial development, allowing 
the airport to become more self-sustaining. The property was originally 
owned by the City of Traverse City, Michigan and was subject to an AP-4 
Instrument of conveyance from the City to the United States Government 
dated May 17, 1943. At the end of the war the US Government transferred 
the property back to the City of Traverse City, Michigan. In 1966 the 
National Emergency Use Provision was released from this property. A 
portion of the property has a proposed lessor/developer identified and 
it has been appraised. The airport will receive Fair Market Value for 
the land to be leased.
    The disposition of 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 (64 FR 7696).
    This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of 
the subject airport property at the Cherry Capital Airport, Traverse 
City, Michigan, from its obligations to be maintained for aeronautical 
purposes. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to 
financially assist in the change in use of the subject airport property 
nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the 
FAA.
