Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment on a Land Use Change 
From Aeronautical to Non-Aeronautical Use for 18.6 Acres of Airport 
Land for Solar Farm Use at North Central Airport, Smithfield, RI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comments.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request 
from the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC), to change the current 
land use from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use of two parcels 
of land comprising a total of 18.6 acres of land. The northeasterly 
parcel is approximately 10.2 acres and the northwesterly parcel is 
approximately 8.4 acres. The Airport Layout Plan was updated with a Pen 
and Ink change to designate the parcel for non-aeronautical use. The 
annual savings in electrical costs created by the solar farm will 
offset the fair market value of the land lease over the lease period.
