DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Release From Federal Grant Assurance Obligations at Bob 
Hope Airport, Burbank, Los Angeles County, California

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 1.5 acres of airport property at Bob Hope Airport, 
Burbank, Los Angeles County, California, from all conditions contained 
in the Grant Assurances since the parcel of land is not needed for 
airport purposes. The property will be sold for its fair market value 
and the proceeds used for airport purposes. The redevelopment of the 
land for commercial purposes represents a compatible land use that will 
not interfere with the airport or its operation, thereby protecting the 
interests of civil aviation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 13, 2016.

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. John T. Hatanaka, Senior Deputy Executive 
Director, Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority, 2627 Hollywood 
Way, Burbank, CA 91505.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), 
Public Law 106-181 (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:
    Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority requested a release 
from the conditions contained in the Grant Assurance obligations for 
approximately 1.5 acres of airport land at Bob Hope Airport. The 
property served as a parking lot and is located outside the airport 
boundary on the northwest side of the airport, east of Kenwood Street, 
and southwest of San Fernando Boulevard. The Airport Authority 
requested approval to sell the small parcel because the land is not 
needed for airport purposes presently or in the future. The sale price 
will be based on its appraised market value and the sale proceeds will 
be used for airport purposes. The property will be developed for 
commercial purposes, along with privately owned property to the south, 
that will represent a compatible use that will not interfere with 
airport operations. The interests of civil aviation will be 
appropriately served by the release.

    Issued in Hawthorne, California on September 1, 2016.

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