SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release property at the Colorado Springs Airport under the 
provisions of the AIR 21 (49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2)).
    On June 2, 2015, the FAA determined that the request to release 
property at the Colorado Springs Airport submitted by the Colorado 
Springs Airport meets the procedural requirements of the Federal 
Aviation Administration.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Colorado Springs Airport is proposing the release from the 
terms, conditions, reservations, and restrictions on approximately 9.5 
acres of federally obligated land at the Colorado Springs Airport. The 
proposed release would allow for improvements to be made to the 
Marksheffel Road corridor adjacent to the east side of the airport. 
Marksheffel Road is currently a two-lane rural arterial road with 
unimproved shoulders and roadside ditches. For the majority of the 
corridor there is an inadequate roadway cross-

[[Page 32433]]

section, including areas with no shoulders and a lack of turn lanes, as 
well as inadequate roadway and intersection capacity, lack of 
pedestrian/bicycle facilities and sharp curves. These deficiencies 
contribute to roadway crash incidences along the Marksheffel Road 
corridor. The proposed airport property is undeveloped and is not 
needed for present or future aviation purposes. The property will be 
sold at fair market value and the sponsor will reinvest the revenue 
into the airport. The property release conveyance will include 
appropriate continuing right of flight and continuing restriction 
clauses that will prohibit any activity on the land that would 
interfere with or be a hazard to the flight of aircraft over the land 
or to and from the airport, or that interferes with air navigation and 
communications facilities serving the airport.
    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 Colorado Springs Airport.

    Issued in Denver, Colorado, on June 2, 2015.
John P. Bauer,
Manager, Denver Airports District Office.
