for use as a permanent utility easement 

for the installation of a gas line. This

northeastern property line. This 

property is separated from the majority

South. The proposed use of this 

property is compatible with airport 

operations. 

Any person may inspect, by 

appointment, the request in person at

exemptions from the FMCSRs for a twoyear period to align with the maximum
