Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance 
with respect to land; Port Columbus International Airport, Columbus, 
Ohio.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a proposal to change a 29.8 acre parcel 
of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to 
authorize this parcel to be leased for revenue-producing, non-
aeronautical purposes at

[[Page 24059]]

Port Columbus International Airport, Columbus, Ohio. The aforementioned 
land is not needed for aeronautical use.
    The parcel is located on the north side of Bridgeway Avenue, 
between Goshen Lane and James Road. The majority of the parcel is a 
mowed field. There are three (3) existing buildings located on the 
parcel. These buildings are not needed for aeronautical use and are to 
be removed. The parcel presently serves the primary purpose of 
protecting airport aeronautical (imaginary) surfaces which are needed 
for safe and efficient use of navigable airspace. The parcel will 
continue to serve in this same capacity through reservations and 
restrictions retained in the lease document. The parcel will be leased 
and developed for office/warehouse and office/call center facilities.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 29, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review by appointment at the FAA

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 parcel is depicted on the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) dated 
November 17, 2011, and the Exhibit ``A'' property map. The parcel was 
acquired through multiple Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grants: 3-
39-0025-01, 3-39-0025-02 and 06-39-0025-04.
    No airport landside or airside facilities are presently located on 
this parcel nor is airport development contemplated in the future. 
Development of the parcel for airside or landside operations is largely 
restricted due to the parcel being separated from the airfield by 
Bridgeway Avenue. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing it to 
waive the requirement to maintain the parcel for aeronautical use.
    The sponsor will control use of the parcel through the terms and 
conditions of the ground lease. 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 disposition of 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).

FAA to financially assist in the change in use of the subject airport 
property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding 
from the FAA.
