Public Notice For Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; 
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport; Detroit, 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 Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County 
Airport (DTW) from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to 
authorize the sale of the airport property. The proposal consists of 
the sale of vacant, unimproved land owned by the Wayne County Airport

    The WCAA has requested from FAA a ``Release from Federal agreement 
obligated land covenants'' to sell one (1)

parcel of property acquired by the County without Federal funding.
    There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the WCAA to dispose 
of the vacant property. Approval does not constitute a commitment by 
the FAA to financially assist in the disposal of the airport property 
nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the 
FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the disposal 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.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 28, 2008.
