SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the

    On May 23, 2016, the FAA determined that the request to release 
property at Ralph Wenz Field submitted by The Town of Pinedale meets 
the procedural requirements of the FAA. The FAA may approve the 
request, in whole or in part, no later than July 6, 2016.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Town of Pinedale, Wyoming, is proposing the release from the 
terms, conditions, reservations, and restrictions on a 0.76 acre parcel 
of property acquired by the Town of Pinedale on November 9, 2004, with 
the assistance of Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grant No. 3-56-
0021-11. This parcel is outside of the Runway Protection Zone and is 
considered a non-economic remnant. The parcel in question has been part 
of a long-standing lawsuit regarding a property line dispute with the 
adjacent landowners. A settlement has been reviewed and approved by the 
district court to deed this parcel of land back to the adjacent 
landowners. As the property was purchased with AIP funds, the fair 
market value of the property will be reinvested in future AIP eligible 
projects and will be used to offset future AIP grants.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at 
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    In addition, any person may, upon appointment and request, inspect 
the application, notice and other documents germane to the application 
in person at Ralph Wenz Field.

    Issued in Denver, Colorado, on May 23, 2016.
John P. Bauer,
Manager, Denver Airports District Office.
