Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment on Non-Rulemaking Action 
To Change Land Use From Aeronautical to Non-Aeronautical at Jackson-
Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport, Jackson, Mississippi

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of title 49, U.S.C. 47153(c), notice is 
being given that the FAA is considering a request from the Jackson 
Municipal Airport Authority to waive the requirement that a 130 acre 
parcel of surplus property, located on Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers 
International Airport, be used for aeronautical purposes.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 15, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this notice may be mailed or delivered in 
triplicate to the FAA at the following address: Jackson Airports 
District Office, Attn: Jeff Orr, Program Manager, 100 West Cross 
Street, Suite B, Jackson, MS 39208-2307.
    In addition, one copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be 
mailed or delivered to Mr. Carl Newman, Chief Executive Officer, 
Jackson Municipal Airport Authority at the following address: P.O. Box 
98109, Jackson, MS 39298-8109.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Orr, Program Manager, Jackson 
Airports District Office, 100 West Cross Street, Suite B, Jackson, MS 
39208-2307, (601) 664-9885. The application may be reviewed in person 
at this same location.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If the proposal is approved, the airport 
layout plan will be updated to reflect the change in the land use on 
130 acres from aeronautical to non-aeronautical. The property will then 
be leased for Commercial Development. The location of the land relative 
to existing or anticipated aircraft noise contours greater than 65 DNL 
are not considered to be an issue. The proceeds from the lease of this 
property will be used for airport purposes. The proposed use of this 
property is compatible with airport operations.
    Any person may inspect the request in person at the FAA office 
listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    In addition, any person may, upon request, inspect the request, 
notice and other documents germane to the request in person at the 
Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport.

    Issued in Jackson, Mississippi on July 7, 2016.

Acting Manager, Jackson Airports District Office, Southern Region.
