SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment for a change 
in use from aeronautical to non-aeronautical to provide for the use of 
an existing facility for manufacturing purposes, at Elmira/Corning 
Regional Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47125(a). Based on a 
full review, the FAA determined that the request for a change in use 
from aeronautical to non-aeronautical to provide for the use of an 
existing facility for manufacturing purposes, at Elmira/Corning 
Regional Airport, Horseheads, NY., met the procedural requirements.

The Following Is a Brief Overview of the Request

    The airport sponsor is requesting a change in use from aeronautical 
to non-aeronautical for a 10.27 acre site located along Kahler Road, 
including an existing 96,000 square foot manufacturing facility, 5,000 
square foot storage hangar, and adjoining 187,500 square foot parking 
lot with capacity for 332 parking stalls. In addition, the proposal 
includes a 6,400 square foot expansion to the existing facility to 
support administrative and engineering offices. The site would be 
utilized for glass manufacturing operations by a privately owned 
company. There is currently no short or long term aeronautical demand 
for the site, or interest from an aeronautical tenant to occupy the 
space. The Airport will structure a land lease with the prospective 
tenant based on fair market value, along with the fee simple sale of 
the buildings. All proceeds generated from the lease agreement and fee 
simple sale must be used exclusively by the airport in accordance with 
49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and the FAA's policy on revenue use.
    Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office 
address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment on the 
proposed change of use from aeronautical to non-aeronautical. All 
comments will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.
