DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Release From Federal Grant Assurance Obligations for 
Taylor Airport, Taylor, Arizona

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Request to Release Airport Land.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rule and 
invites public comment on the application for a release of 
approximately .3885 acre of airport property at Taylor Airport, Taylor, 
Arizona, from all conditions contained in the Grant Agreement 
Assurances since the land is not needed for airport purposes. The 
property will be sold for its fair market value and the proceeds 
deposited in the airport account. The reuse of the land will not 
conflict or interfere with the airport or its operation, thereby 
protecting the interests of civil aviation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 4, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on the request may be mailed 
or delivered to the FAA at the following address: Tony Garcia, Airports 
Compliance Program Manager, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports 
Division, Federal Register Comment, 15000 Aviation Blvd., Lawndale, CA 
90261. In addition, one copy of the comment submitted to the FAA must 
be mailed or delivered to Mr. Gus Lundberg, Town Manager, Town of 
Taylor, P.O. Box 158, Taylor, AZ 85939, Telephone (928) 536-7366.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), 
Public Law 10-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be 
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may 
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus 
property conveyance deeds or grant agreements.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Town of Taylor, Arizona requested a release from the conditions 
and restrictions contained in the Grant Agreement Assurances to allow 
the sale of a small amount of airport land, measuring approximately 
.3885 acre. The property is located on the west side of the airport in 
the vicinity of Foothills Boulevard. In 2006, the Town acquired a 
parcel of land to expand the west side of the airport. About the same 
time, an adjoining parcel was purchased by a local citizen who 
proceeded to develop the acquired property. The Town subsequently 
discovered that development by the private property owner mistakenly 
encroached into airport property because the boundary line between the 
airport and adjacent private property had not been properly surveyed. 
Since the amount of land affected by the encroachment was deemed 
minimal, the Town concluded that a sale of the .3885 acre would be a 
practical solution to the encroachment error since the land is not 
needed for airport development. The sale price will be based on 
appraised market value of the property and the sale proceeds will be 
deposited in the airport account and used for airport purposes. The 
airport will be properly compensated, thereby serving the interests of 
civil aviation.

    Issued in Hawthorne, California, on June 25, 2014.

Acting Manager, Safety and Standards, Airports Division, Western-
Pacific Region.
