AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of request to release airport property.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to rule and invite public comment on the 
release of land at St. George Airport under the provisions of Section

the FAA at the following address: Mr. John P. Bauer, Manager, Federal

Denver Airports District Office, 26805 E. 68th Avenue, Suite 224,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release property at the St. George Airport under the 
provisions of the AIR 21 (49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2)).
    On April 20, 2015, the FAA determined that the request to release 
property at the St. George Airport submitted by the City of St. George 
meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation 
Administration.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The City of St. George is proposing the release from the terms, 
conditions, reservations, and restrictions on the remaining approximate 
223 acres of the former airport. A 40 acre parcel of airport property 
had previously been released by an instrument of release dated June 11, 
2013. Physical constraints of the airport site required the 
construction and opening of the Replacement Airport in 2011, 
approximately 15 miles to the east. The former St. George Airport was 
decommissioned on January 15, 2011. The former airport is no longer 
needed for aviation purposes and the release is to allow for the sale 
of the property so the proceeds from the sale can be used towards 
payment of the City's share of the costs associated with the 
Replacement Airport. The property will be sold as the market improves, 
at fair market value. 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 the St George Airport.

    Issued in Denver, Colorado on April 20, 2015.

Manager, Denver Airports District Office .
