DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Public Notice for Waiver of 

Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance 

Delta County Airport Escanaba, MI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with 

respect to land. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is considering a 

proposal to change a portion of the 

airport from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the 

lease of the airport property. The 

proposal consists of 1 parcel of land, 

totaling approximately 3.6 acres. 

Current use and present condition is 

undeveloped land compatible with local 

commercial/industrial zoning 

classification. The land was acquired 

under part of the property from the City 

of Escanaba deeded to Delta County for 

airport use. There are no impacts to the 

airport by allowing the airport to lease 

of the property. Subject land may 

provide good commercial/industrial 

development opportunities for the 

community and are well outside airport 

perimeter fence limits. Approval does 

not constitute a commitment by the 

FAA to financially assist in the lease of 

the subject airport property nor a 

determination of eligibility for grant-inaid funding from the FAA. The 

disposition of proceeds from the lease of 

the airport property will be in 

accordance 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. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 28, 2005.
