Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land; DuPage 
Airport, West Chicago, Illinois.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a proposal to change a 1.771-acre 
portion

[[Page 79060]]

of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to 
authorize the sale of airport property located at DuPage Airport, West 
Chicago, Illinois.
    The subject portion of airport property considered for release from 
obligation to be maintained for aeronautical use and sale includes a 
0.677-acre portion of Parcel 601 (83.62 total acres), a 0.298-acre 
portion of Parcel 8 (1.21 total acres), and a 0.795-acre portion of 
Tract A (136.95 total acres) that are located in the northeast quadrant 
of the airport along Illinois Route 64 (North Avenue) and currently not 
being used directly for aeronautical purposes. Currently, ownership of 
the property provides for protection of FAR Part 77 surfaces and 
compatible land use which would continue to be protected with deed 
restrictions required in the transfer of land ownership. The change 
from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use would allow for the widening 
of Route 64 which is directly adjacent to the airport. The 
aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 27, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    The acquisition of Parcel 601 was originally funded under Federal 
ADAP Grant 8-17-0017-01 in June, 1972, with Parcel 8 acquisition funded 
with local funds. Tract A was acquired via a Quitclaim Deed from the US 
Government and Reconstruction Finance Corporation (War Assets 
Administration) in December, 1947. The subject portions of those 
parcels are currently used for FAR Part 77 protection and to ensure 
compatible land use. The DuPage Airport Authority plans to sell the 
subject property to the Illinois Department of Transportation--Division 
of Highways for the purpose of improvements to be made on Illinois 
Route 64 (North Avenue) adjacent to the airport. Fair Market Value will 
be obtained from the sale of the subject property.
    This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of 
the subject airport property at DuPage Airport, West Chicago, Illinois, 
from Federal land covenants, subject to a reservation for continuing 
right of flight as well as restrictions on the released property as 
required in FAA Order 5190.6B Section 22.16. Approval does not 
constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the 
disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination of 
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The use of the 
revenue generated from the sale 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 
(64 FR 7696).
