request to release approximately 4.28 acres of airport property at the

U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). The Airport Sponsor has requested from the FAA that 
two parcels of land for a combined 4.28 acres of property be released 
for sale to the City of Liberal Water Department. The FAA determined 
the request to release and sell property at Liberal Mid-America 
Regional Airport (LBL) submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural 
requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the release and 
sale of the property does not and will not impact future aviation needs 
at the airport. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, 
no sooner than thirty days after the publication of this Notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport (LBL) is proposing the release 
and sale of two parcels of airport property, totaling 4.28 acres. The 
release of land is necessary to comply with Federal Aviation 
Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow federally acquired 
airport property to be used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the 
subject property will result in the release of land and surface rights 
at the Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport (LBL) from the conditions 
of the AIP Grant Agreement Grant Assurances, but retaining the mineral 
rights. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the 
airport will receive fair market value and the property will be used as 
a water reservoir and warehouse by the City of Liberal Water 
Department.
    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, request an appointment and inspect the 
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be
