Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land; John Glenn 
Columbus International Airport; Columbus, Ohio.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a 
proposal to change 8.313 acres of airport

[[Page 19990]]

land from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the 
lease of airport property located at John Glenn Columbus International 
Airport, Columbus, Ohio. The aforementioned land is not needed for 
aeronautical use.
    The subject property is located along the northern property 
boundary of the airport; north of Bridgeway Avenue. The parcel is 
currently vacant. The parcel presently serves the primary purpose of 
compatible land use. The parcel will continue to serve in this same 
capacity with a proposed change to nonaeronautical, revenue-producing 
use from its present aeronautical use designation. The parcel will be 
used for construction of a 2-story office building, approximately 
19,600 square feet, connected to a 80,100 square foot building, and the 
potential to add a 30,000 square foot building. The proposed 
development also includes approximately 289 parking spaces with the 
flexibility to add 14 spaces for future expansion.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 6, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review by appointment at the FAA 
Detroit Airports District Office, 11677 South Wayne Road, Suite 107, 
Romulus, Michigan 48174 or the Columbus Regional Airport Authority, 
Planning and Engineering, John Glenn Columbus International Airport, 
4600 International Gateway, Columbus, Ohio 43219. Written comments on 
the Sponsor's request must be delivered or mailed to: Ms. Katherine 
Delaney, Community Planner, Detroit Airports District Office, Federal 
Aviation Administration, 11677 South Wayne Road, Suite 107, Romulus, 
Michigan 48174. Telephone Number (734) 229-2900; FAX Number (734) 229-
2950.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Katherine Delaney, Community 
Planner, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports District Office, 
11677 South Wayne Road, Suite 107, Romulus, Michigan 48174. Telephone 
Number (734) 229-2900; FAX Number (734) 229-2950.

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 parcel is depicted on the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) dated 
November 17, 2011, and the Exhibit ``A'' property map. The parcel was 
acquired with Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grants: 3-39-0025-01, 
3-39-0024-02, and 06-39-0025-04.
    No airport landside or airside facilities are presently located on 
this parcel nor is airport development contemplated in the future. 
Development of the parcel for airside or landside operations is not 
practical due to Bridgeway Avenue's location which precludes 
aeronautical development from being contiguous to the airfield. 
Relocating the road is cost prohibitive. There are no impacts to the 
airport by allowing it to waive the requirement to maintain the parcel 
for aeronautical use.
    The sponsor will control use of the parcel through the terms and 
conditions of the ground lease. The lease will be subordinate to the 
sponsor's existing grant assurances. This will ensure that all 
activities contemplated on the parcel will be compatible with FAA 
requirements and airport operations.
    The disposition of proceeds from the lease of 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 the John Glenn Columbus International 
Airport, Columbus, Ohio from its obligations to be maintained for 
aeronautical purposes. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the 
FAA to financially assist in the change in use of the subject airport 
property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding 
from the FAA.
    A Categorical Exclusion addressing the proposed development of the 
parcel was prepared. The Categorical Exclusion was executed by the FAA 
on June 14, 2018.

the John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Columbus, Ohio:
