Federal Aviation Administration

Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; 
Willow Run 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 authorize the release of approximately 29.5 acres of 
airport property for sale. The land consists of portions of the 
original airport parcels. These parcels were acquired by the Wayne 
County Road Commissioners of Wayne County, Michigan, its successors and 
assigns (Wayne County Airport Authority) from the U.S. Government, 
General Services Administration without federal participation. This 
property was previously released for non-aeronautical use. There are no 
requirements to retain the land for airport use. There are no impacts 
to the airport by allowing the Wayne County Airport Authority to sell 
the property. The land is not needed for aeronautical use. Approval 
does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in 
the sale of the subject airport property nor a determination of 
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The disposition of 
proceeds from the sale 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 February 17, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the Sponsor's request must be delivered 
or mailed to: Irene R. Porter, Program Manager, Detroit Airports 
District Office, 11677 South Wayne Road Suite 107, Romulus, MI 48174.
