Notice of Opportunity for Public 

Comment on a Land Use Change From 

Aeronautical to Non-Aeronautical Use 

for 4.2 Acres of Airport Land for Solar 

Farm Use at Newport Airport, 

Middletown, RI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Request for public comments. 

SUMMARY: Notice is being given that the 

FAA is considering a request from the 

Rhode Island Airport Corporation 

(RIAC), to change the current land use 

from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use of a 4.2-acre parcel of 

land. The parcel is located in the 

western quadrant of the airport. The 

Airport Layout Plan was updated with 

a Pen and Ink Change to designate the 

parcel for non-aeronautical use. The 

annual savings in electrical costs 

created by the solar farm will offset the 

fair market value of the land lease over 

the lease period.

or before October 16, 2017.

using any of the following methods:

The request to release property may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

invites public comment on the request 

to release airport property for nonaeronautical purposes at the Lehigh 

Valley International Airport under the 

provisions of Section 47125(a) of Title 

49 U.S.C. On September 6, 2017, the 

FAA determined that the request to 

release airport property for nonaeronautical purposes at the Lehigh 

Valley International Airport (ABE), 

Pennsylvania, submitted by the Lehigh 

Northampton Airport Authority 

(Authority), met the procedural 

requirements. Final release of the 

property is subject to FAA’s NEPA 

determination made on April 17, 2017. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The Authority requests the release of 

a portion of airport property totaling 

244.427 acres, which is no longer 

needed for aeronautical purposes. Of the 

total 244.427 acres, 174.887 acres are 

part of Parcel H–1, 49.068 acres are part 

of Parcel V, 16.177 acres are part of 

Parcel N–2, and 4.294 acres are part of 

Parcel X–2. These parcels are located in 

Allen Township and were originally 

included as part of larger property 

purchased with federal funds over 

multiple AIP grants. 

The 244.427 acres requested for nonaeronautical use are to be released to the 

Rockefeller Group Development 

Corporation (Rockefeller Group), 500 

International Drive North, Suite 345, Mt. 

Olive, NJ 07828. The property is located 

in the northwest corner of existing 

airport property and is being used for 

contract farming purposes. The 

undeveloped property is located in 

Allen Township at the intersection of 

Willowbrook Road and Race Street. As 

shown on ABE’s approved Airport 

Layout Plan, the property does not serve 

an aeronautical purpose and is not 

needed for current or future airport 

development. The property was part of 

an inverse condemnation judgment 

against the Authority. The proceeds 

from the Fair Market Value (FMV) sale 

of the 244.427 acres of property will be 

used for eligible airport development 

purposes, as outlined in FAA Order 

5190.6B, Airport Compliance Manual. 

Any person may inspect the request 

by appointment at the FAA office 

address listed above. Interested persons 

are invited to comment on the proposed 

release. All comments will be 

considered by the FAA to the extent 

practicable. 

Issued in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, 

September 12, 2017.

Manager, Harrisburg Airports District Office.
