Public Notice for Waiver for Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance at 
Saline County Regional Airport, Benton, AR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Intent for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a 
proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to 
nonaeronautical use and to authorize the conversion of the airport 
property. The proposal consists of one parcel of land containing a 
total of approximately 3.19 acres located on the west side of the 
airport at the corner of Hazel Street and 4th Street.
    The parcel was originally acquired as part of a donation to the 
County of Saline in 1999. The land comprising this parcel is outside 
the forecasted need for aviation development and, thus, is no longer 
needed for indirect or direct aeronautical use. The airport wishes to 
develop this land for compatible commercial, nonaeronautical use. The 
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.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 19, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this document to Mr. Edward N. Agnew, 
Federal Aviation Administration, Manager, Arkansas/Oklahoma Airports
