Notice of Intent To Release Certain Properties From All Terms, 
Conditions, Reservations and Restrictions of a Quitclaim Deed Agreement 
Between Miami Dade Aviation Department and the Federal Aviation 
Administration for the Opa Locka Executive Airport, Opa Locka, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA hereby provides notice of intent to release 20.327 
acres at the Opa Locka Executive Airport, Opa Locka, FL from the 
conditions, reservations, and restrictions as contained in a Quitclaim 
Deed agreement between the FAA and the Miami Dade Aviation Department, 
dated November 16, 1961. The subject property is located at the 
southwest corner of NW 37 Avenue and NW 151 Street and on the east side 
of the airport. The parcel is currently designated as aeronautical 
property. The property will be released of its federal obligations 
given the land is no longer required by the Miami Dade Aviation 
Department as aeronautical-use. There would be a positive fiscal impact 
to the County as the conversion of the use of this acreage from 
aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use will yield more revenue to the 
County. As such, Foundry Meek IV LLC would pay a non-aeronautical use 
land rent rate of $0.86 per square foot, yielding approximately an 
additional $555,677 for a total of $838,390 in annual rent to the 
County, a 4X increase in revenue over the aeronautical rent.

DATES: Comments are due on or before November 17, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review at the Miami Dade 
Aviation Department, P.O. Box 025504 Miami, FL 33102 and the FAA 
Airports District Office, 8427 SouthPark Circle, Suite 524, Orlando, FL 
32819-9058. Written comments on the Sponsor's request must be delivered 
or mailed to: Pedro Blanco, Program Manager, Orlando Airports District 
Office, 8427 South Park Circle, Suite 524, Orlando, FL 32819-9058.
    In addition, a copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be 
mailed or delivered to Mr. Jose A. Ramos, Division Director Aviation 
Planning, Land-Use and Grants, Miami Dade Aviation Department, P.O. Box 
025504 Miami, FL 33102.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pedro Blanco, Program Manager, Orlando 
Airports District Office, 8427 SouthPark Circle, Suite 524, Orlando, FL 
32819-9058. Mr. Blanco can also be reached at 407-487-7230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All monies received would go into the funds 
for the Miami Dade Aviation Department System of Airports to be 
disbursed for development and improvement projects. Future use of the 
subject parcel must comply with all Miami Dade Aviation Department 
zoning and land use regulations as established by the Miami Dade 
Aviation Department. Any proposed development of the subject parcel 
will require submittal of an Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace 
Analysis (OE/AAA) for review by the Federal Aviation Administration.
    Documents reflecting the Sponsor's request are available, by 
appointment only, for inspection at the Opa Locka Executive Airport and 
the FAA Airports District Office.
    Section 125 of The Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform 
Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) requires the FAA to provide an 
opportunity for public notice and comment prior to the ``waiver'' or 
``modification'' of a sponsor's Federal obligation to use certain 
airport land for non-aeronautical purposes.

    Issued in Orlando, FL on October 13, 2021.

Acting Manager, Orlando Airports District Office, Southern Region.
