locations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposal consists of 72 acres comprised 
of portions of seven tracts of land, which were originally purchased by 
the City of Shawnee. No federal funds were used to purchase these 
properties. The Airport was leased to the United States between the 
years of 1943 and 1947. Under the provisions of the Surplus Property 
Act of 1944, the leased property was transferred back to the City in 
January 1946. No improvements were made by the United States to these 
tracts during the lease.
    The land comprising these parcels is outside the forecasted need 
for aviation development and is not needed for indirect or direct 
aeronautical use. The Airport wishes to develop this land for 
compatible non-aeronautical use. The Airport will retain ownership of 
this land and ensure the protection of Part 77 surfaces and compatible 
land use. The income from the conversion of these parcels will benefit 
the aviation community by reinvestment in the airport.
    Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially 
assist in the conversion of the subject airport property nor a 
determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The 
disposition of proceeds from the conversion 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. 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.
