SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release approximately 2.7 acres of airport property at The 
Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 
47107(h)(2). On January 17, 2013, the Airport Director at The Eastern 
Iowa Airport requested from the FAA that approximately 2.7 acres of 
property be released for sale to the City of Cedar Rapids for use as 
street widening and improvements or other purposes consistent with the 
zoning ordinances of the City. On March 29, 2013, the FAA determined 
that the request to release property at The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) 
submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the 
Federal Aviation Administration and the release of the property does 
not and will not impact future aviation needs at the airport. The FAA 
may approve the request, in whole or in part, no sooner than thirty 
days after the publication of this notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Eastern Iowa (CID) is proposing the release of airport property 
totaling 2.7 acres, more or less. This land is to be used for street 
widening and improvements. The release of land is necessary to comply 
with Federal Aviation Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow 
federally acquired airport property to be used for non-aviation 
purposes. The sale of the subject property will result in the land at 
The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) being changed from aeronautical to non-
aeronautical use and release the lands from the conditions of the 
Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant Assurances. In 
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will 
receive fair market value for the property, which will be subsequently 
reinvested in another eligible airport improvement project for general 
aviation facilities at The Eastern Iowa Airport.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at 
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In 
addition, any person may, upon appointment and request, inspect the 
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be 
related to the application in person at The Eastern Iowa Airport.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO on April 19, 2013.
Jim A. Johnson,
Manager, Airports Division.
