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 vacant and is not needed for current or 
future aeronautical purposes. Approximately 86.27 acres of the property 
was transferred to Alpena County under the provisions of the Federal 
Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 and the Surplus 
Property Act of 1944. The remaining 39.85 acres was purchased by the 
County in 1987 with local funds. The airport intends to market this 
property for commercial non-aeronautical uses. Lease rates will be 
consistent with fair market value of the land.
    The sponsor will control use of the parcel(s) through the terms and 
conditions of a ground lease(s). The lease will be subordinate to the 
sponsor's existing grant assurances. This will ensure that all 
activities contemplated on the parcel will be compatible with FAA 
requirements and airport operations. The proceeds from the lease 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 Alpena County Regional Airport, 
Alpena, Michigan from its obligations to be maintained for aeronautical 
purposes. 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.
