SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    The property is currently a wooded area maintained for compatible 
land use surrounding the airfield. The proposed non-aeronautical land 
use would be for roadway improvements to support the new commercial/
industrial development. The property was originally owned by the City 
of Traverse City, Michigan and was subject to an AP-4 Instrument of 
conveyance from the City to the United States Government dated May 17, 
1943. At the end of the war the U.S. Government transferred the 
property back to the City of Traverse City, Michigan. In 1966 the 
National Emergency Use Provision was released from this property. The 
airport will receive Fair Market Value for the land to be transferred 
to the County to support the road improvements. 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 (64 FR 7696).
    This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of 
the subject airport property at the Cherry Capital Airport, Traverse 
City, Michigan, from federal land covenants, subject to a reservation 
for continuing right of flight as well as restrictions on the released 
property as required in FAA Order 5190.6B section 22.16. Approval does 
not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the 
disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination of 
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA.
