SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to change approximately 15.42 acres of airport 
property at the Marshall Memorial Municipal Airport (MHL) from 
aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use for revenue producing. The 
parcel of land is located along the North line of Fairground Road. This 
parcel will be used for a solar farm. The land will be leased to MC 
Power for the solar farm.
    No airport landside or airside facilities are presently located on 
this parcel, nor are airport developments contemplated in the future. 
Farming is the current use of the surface of the parcel. The parcel 
will serve as a revenue producing lot with the proposed change from 
aeronautical to non-aeronautical. The request submitted by the Sponsor 
meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation 
Administration and the change to non-aeronautical status 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 Marshall Memorial Municipal Airport (MHL) is proposing the 
release of one parcel, of 15.42 acres, more or less from aeronautical 
to non-aeronautical. 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 rental of the subject property will result in the land at 
the Marshall Memorial Municipal Airport (MHL) being changed from 
aeronautical to nonaeronautical 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 rental value for the property. The 
annual income from rent payments will generate a long-term, revenue-
producing stream that will further the Sponsor's obligation under FAA 
Grant Assurance number 24, to make the Marshall Memorial Municipal 
Airport as financially self-sufficient as possible.
    Following is a legal description of the subject airport property at 
the Marshall Memorial Municipal Airport (MHL):
    A tract of land located in the Southwest Quarter of Section 22 T50N 
R21W, in Marshall, Saline County, Missouri, and further described as 
follows:
    Commencing at the Southwest Corner of said section 22, thence along 
the South line of said section, S. 89[deg]09'20'' E. 383.83 feet; 
Thence N. 00[deg]50'40'' E. 20.00 feet, to a point on the East Right of 
Way of U.S. Highway 65, and the point of beginning.
    From the point of beginning, thence continuing along said Right of 
Way, on a curve to the right, having a radius of 2,774.79 feet, a 
distance of 732.57 feet, the chord being N. 17[deg]16'20'' W. 730.45

    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at 
the FAA office listed above 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

    Issued in Kansas City, MO, on August 23, 2016.
