SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
request to release one tract of land consisting of approximately 16.06 
acres of airport property at the Ankeny Regional Airport (IKV) under 
the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On October 28, 2021, the 
Attorney for the Polk County Aviation Authority requested a release 
from the FAA to sell a tract of land, 16.06 acres. Buyer, ATI Capital, 
LLC, will use the land for development. On November 1, 2021, the FAA 
determined the request to release property at the Ankeny Regional 
Airport (IKV) submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural 
requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the release of 
the property 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 following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Ankeny Regional Airport (IKV) is proposing the release of 
airport property containing 16.06 acres, more or less. The 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 land at the Ankeny Regional Airport (IKV) being changed 
from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and release the lands from 
the conditions of the Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant 
Assurances in order to dispose of the land. 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 
another eligible airport improvement project for general aviation use.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at 
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In 
addition, any person may, upon appointment and request, inspect the 
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be 
related to the application in person at the Ankeny City Hall.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO, on November 1, 2021.
James A. Johnson,
Director, FAA Central Region, Airports Division.
