    The request to release Federal obligations may be reviewed, by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release Federal obligations of 15.2 acres at the Billings 
Logan International Airport under the provisions of the Title 49, 
U.S.C. Section 47107(h).
    The City of Billings, referred to herein as the Sponsor, has 
requested release from the Federal obligations assigned to 15.2 acres 
of land acquired under Airport Improvement Program Grant 3-30-0008-004-
1986. The 15.2 acres is shown on the Airport's Exhibit ``A'' as the 
east most section of Parcel 2A and is isolated from the airfield by 
Highway 318.
    The Sponsor has completed an appraisal for the 15.2 acres of Parcel 
2A and found that current fair market value of the property is 
$223,000. The Sponsor proposes to reimburse the federal interest in the 
15.2 acres of Parcel 2A by reinvesting an amount of $200,700 (90% of 
the current fair market value) towards the AIP eligible portion of the 
terminal expansion currently underway.
    The Sponsor proposes to sell the property to Northwestern Energy 
for expansion of the Northwestern Energy Rimrock Substation. The 
proposed use of this property is compatible with other airport 
operations and the Sponsor will retain necessary easements to ensure 
the property continues to serve its intended purpose of approach 
protection and compatible land use.
    Any person may inspect the request in person at the FAA office 
listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Issued in Helena, Montana on April 25, 2022.

Manager, Helena Airports District Office.
