ACTION:  Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request 
from the Port of Friday Harbor Executive Director to change certain 
portions of the airport from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use 
at the Friday Harbor Airport, Friday Harbor, WA. The request consists 
of 24 parcels, or portions thereof that are depicted on the Airport's 
current Exhibit A--Airport Property Map.

DATES: Comments are due within 30 days of the date of the publication 
of this notice in the Federal Register. Written comments can be 
provided to Ms. Cayla D. Morgan, Environmental Protection Specialist, 
Seattle Airports District Office, 2220 S 216th Street, Des Moines, WA 
98198, (206) 231-4130.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Todd Nicholson, Executive 
Director, Port of Friday Harbor, P.O. Box 889, Friday Harbor, 
Washington 98250 or Ms. Cayla D. Morgan, Environmental Protection 
Specialist, Seattle Airports District Office, 2220 S 216th Street, Des

may be reviewed at the above locations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the provisions of Title 49, U.S.C. 
47153(c), and 47107(h)(2), the FAA is considering a proposal from the 
Executive Director, Port of Friday Harbor, to change a portion of the 
Friday Harbor Airport from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use. A 
total of 24 parcels were included in the request. The FAA has reviewed 
the request and determined that all of the parcels or portions thereof 
in the request package except for parcels 44, 55 and 57 can be released 
from aeronautical use. The FAA concurs that the other parcels in the 
package are no longer needed for aeronautical purposes or are otherwise 
inaccessible by aircraft. The land will remain under the Port of Friday 
Harbor ownership and will be leased at fair market value for non-
aeronautical revenue generation. The revenue will support the Airports 
aviation needs, including upcoming projects associated with the pending 
B-II classification.
    The proposed use of this property is considered compatible with 
other airport operations in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures 
Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in Federal Register on 
February 16, 1999.

    Issued in Des Moines, Washington on April 23, 2020.

Manager, Seattle Airports District Office, Manager, Seattle Airports 
District, SEA-630.
