SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public 
comment on the request to release property for disposal at Charlotte 
Douglas International Airport, 5601 Wilkinson Blvd., Charlotte, NC 
28208, under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). The FAA 
determined that the request to release property at Charlotte Douglas 
International Airport (CLT) submitted by the Sponsor meets the 
procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the 
release of these properties 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 request consists of the following:
    The City of Charlotte is proposing the release of airport property 
totaling 176.113 acres, more or less. This land is to be used by the 
Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSRC) for the operation of an 
Intermodal Rail Facility (150.975 acres fee simple) and (25.138 acres 
easement). The property is currently being used for the same non-
aeronautical purpose under a long term lease approved by the FAA on 
April 13, 2010. The release of land is necessary to comply with FAA 
Grant Assurances that do not allow federally acquired airport property 
to be used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the subject property 
will result in the land at Charlotte Douglas International Airport 
(CLT) being changed permanently from aeronautical to non-aeronautical 
use and releases the lands from the conditions of the Airport 
Improvement Program (AIP) Grant Agreement Grant Assurances. In 
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will 
receive fair market value for the property, which will be subsequently 
reinvested in FAA approved eligible AIP projects for aviation 
facilities at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). The 
proposed use of this property is compatible with airport operations. 
The property is located on Charlotte Douglas International Airport, 
bordered on the west by Runway 18R-36L, bordered on the east by Runway 
18C-36C, bordered on the north by Taxiway N, and by West Boulevard to 
the south.
    This request will release this property from federal obligations. 
This action is taken under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2).
    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 
Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

    Issued in Memphis, Tennessee, on October 18, 2019.
Tommy L. Dupree,
Acting Manager, Memphis Airports District Office, Southern Region.
