Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-use Assurance 
Aurora Municipal Airport, Sugar Grove, IL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a 
proposal to change a portion of airport land from aeronautical use to 
non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. 
The proposal consists of a 0.1766-acre portion of Parcel 3 and a 0.9776 
acre portion of Parcel 5, totaling 1.1542 acres. Presently the land is 
vacant and used as open land for control of FAR Part 77 surfaces and 
compatible land use and is not needed for aeronautical use, as shown on 
the Airport Layout Plan. The Parcels were acquired in 1988 with Federal 
participation. It is the intent of the City of Aurora, as owner and 
operator of the Aurora Municipal Airport (AMA), to sell the subject 
portions of Parcels 3 & 5 (1.1542 Acres) in fee to the Village of Sugar 
Grove, for the construction of Municipal Drive. AMA would, in return, 
receive land equivalent in acreage and value (a portion of Parcel 4) 
from the Village of Sugar Grove. This notice announces that the FAA is 
considering the proposal to authorize the disposal of the subject 
airport property at the Aurora Municipal Airport, Sugar Grove, IL. 
Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially 
assist in disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination 
that all measures covered by the program are eligible for grant-in-aid 
funding from the FAA.
    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 May 19, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review at the Airport Manager's 
office (Bob Rieser, Aurora Municipal Airport, 43 W 636 U.S. 30, Sugar
