SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 49 U.S.C 47107(h), 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 following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Iberia Parish Airport Authority requests portions of parcels 2 
and 4B (as shown on the Exhibit A) totaling 233 acres, be released for 
non-aeronautical use. The proposed lease includes a solar manufacturing 
facility. Historic parcel 2 was acquired on May 6, 1968 and historic 
parcel 4B on February 9, 1970 under the Surplus Property Act of 1944. 
The proposed lease area is located north of NW Bypass Highway,east of 
Leon Landry Road,west of West Admiral Doyle Drive, south of Fox Road, 
and southeast of the Terminal Area. The Airport Authority will lease 
this property to grow airport revenues as well as the economy. The 
purpose of this request is to permanently change the designation of the 
property given there is no potential for future aviation use, as 
demonstrated by the Airport Layout Plan. Subsequent to the 
implementation of the proposed redesignation, rents received by the 
airport from this property must be used in accordance with FAA's Policy 
and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the 
Federal Register on February 16, 1999.
    Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office 
address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment. All 
comments will be considered by the FAA to extent practicable.
