Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) requires the 
FAA to provide an opportunity for public notice and comment prior to 
the ``waiver'' or ``modification'' of a sponsor's Federal obligation to 
use certain airport land for non-aeronautical purposes. The following 
is a brief overview of the request:
    The City of Tallahassee is proposing to release from aeronautical 
use provisions approximately 119.6 acres at Tallahassee International 
Airport. The Proposed Project is part of the City of Tallahassee 
strategy to diversify the fuel supply, reduce the City's reliance on 
fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions generated with electric power 
generation. The purpose of the Proposed Action is to generate clean 
energy, increase energy independence, and decrease the reliance on 
electricity generated by fossil fuel power plants. The Proposed Project 
is necessary to increase economic contribution from non-aviation uses 
on Airport property, support economic and sustainable development at 
the Airport, contribute to the Airport's economic viability and reduce 
the airport's carbon footprint.

DATES:  Comments are due on or before April 13, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review at Tallahassee 
International Airport, and the FAA Airports District Office, 5950
