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; Terre Haute 
International Airport; Terre Haute, Indiana.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a proposal to change a portion of 
airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to 
authorize the transfer of airport property (as a part of a land swap) 
located at Terre Haute International Airport, Terre Haute, Indiana. The 
aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use.
    The proposal consists of 6.374 acres located in the northeastern 
section of airport property that is not being used by the airport 
presently, to be transferred to the Indiana Department of 
Transportation (INDOT) in exchange for the section of State Road 342 
(2.05 acres) that is within the Runway 23 Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). 
SR342 is the primary access to the Indiana Air National Guard Base at 
the airport and is the connector road between Frye Road and SR42. INDOT 
will use the parcel for the construction of Swalls Road, making it the 
connector to SR 42 from Frye Road maintaining access to the Indiana Air 
National Guard Base. A larger parcel is required to keep the connection 
intact between Frye Road and SR 42.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 5, 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 subject land consists of a section of land running through a 
larger parcel (approx. 128.168 acres) that was acquired by Terre Haute 
International Airport Authority, dated May 01, 2002 for the sum of 
$350,305.50 using airport funds. While the land was not obtained with 
federal grant funds, the airport intends to seek reimbursement for the 
purchase with future entitlement funds. The Terre Haute International 
Airport Authority intends to swap the property for the section of State 
Road 342 (2.3 acres) which is owned by the Indiana Department of 
Transportation that is located in the Runway 23, Runway Protection Zone 
(RPZ) to allow for the construction of Swalls Road (6.374 acres). While 
the size of parcels is not identical, 6.374 acres is required to 
construct Swalls road connecting SR 42 with Frye Road, resulting in the 
closure of State Road 342 in the RPZ. The aforementioned land is not 
needed for aeronautical use, as shown on the Airport Layout Plan. There 
are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the 
property.
    The disposition of proceeds 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).
    This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of 
the subject airport property at Terre Haute International Airport, 
Terre Haute, Indiana, 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 that all measures covered 
by the program are eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA.

    Dated: Issued in Des Plaines, Illinois on March 28, 2014.

Manager, Chicago Airports District Office, FAA, Great Lakes Region.
