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 sale of the 
subject property will result in the release of land and surface rights 
at the Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport (LBL) from the conditions 
of the AIP Grant Agreement Grant Assurances, but retaining the mineral 
rights. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the 
airport will receive fair market value and the property will continue 
to be used as an industrial park building site.
