SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposal consists of 3.257 acres of 
airport property (Tract 2) located on the Southeast quadrant of Section 
34, Township 19 North Range 1 East, Randolph County, Arkansas which was 
part of 368.36 acres of land that was conveyed to the City of 
Pocahontas via a Quitclaim Deed dated April 17, 1947, by the United 
States of America acting by and through the War Assets Administrator 
under the provisions of the Surplus Property Act of 1944. This portion 
of land is outside the forecasted need for aviation development and is 
not needed for indirect or direct aeronautical use. A release for the 
adjoining property was obtained through a deed of release dated 
February 16, 1966, the Airport now wishes to sell the land to the 
adjoining property owner. Income from the conversion of this parcel 
will benefit the aviation community by reinvestment in the airport. 
Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially 
assist in the conversion of the subject airport property nor a 
determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The 
disposition of proceeds from the conversion 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. 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.

    Issued in Fort Worth, TX, on February 14, 2022.

Director, Airports Division, FAA, Southwest Region.
