Public Notice for a Change in Use of Aeronautical Property at 
Lancaster Airport in Lititz, Pennsylvania

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration is requesting public 
comment on Lancaster Airport Authority's (LAA) request to change 5 
acres of airport property from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical 
use. The parcel was purchased as part of a larger parcel with AIP 
grants 3-42-0049-022-2002 and 3-42-0049-023-2002. The property was 
purchased as part of a road relocation for the Runway 8-26 extension 
project and is located in an area that would be difficult for future 
aeronautical development. The LAA is requesting approval to release the 
parcel for permanent non-aeronautical use to erect a vehicle 
maintenance garage facility. The parcel is identified as 3E on the 
Airport Layout Plan (ALP). The proposed facility is not currently noted 
on the ALP, however, if approved, the ALP will be updated to reflect 
the facility. Documents reflecting the Sponsor's request are available, 
by appointment only, for inspection at the Airport Manager's office and 
the FAA Airport District Office.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 28, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review at the:
    Airport Manager's Office, Ed Foster, 500 Airport Road, Lititz, PA 
17543, (717) 569-1221.
    And/or
    FAA Airport District Office, Paul Higgins, 3905 Hartzdale Drive, 
Suite 508, Camp Hill, PA 17011, 717-730-2843.
    Written comments on the Sponsor's request must be delivered or 
mailed to Paul Higgins at the above address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 aeronautical purposes.
    The LAA is requesting approval to release a parcel for permanent 
non-aeronautical use to erect a vehicle maintenance garage facility in 
Area 3E. Area 3E consists of 5 acres east of the Air Traffic Control 
Tower along the northern limit of the airport property. The corners of 
Area 3E are: NW: 40[deg]7'33.066'', -76[deg]17'37.28'', NE: 
40[deg]7'37.786'', -76[deg]17'27.11'', SE: 40[deg]7'33.515'', -
76[deg]17'35.38'', and SW: 40[deg]7'32.35'', -76[deg]17'26.314''.
    The facility, once completed, will be leased to the local school 
district to perform bus vehicle maintenance. The established rental 
rate is the cost of the

project spread out over 20 years. The preliminary cost of the project 
is approximately $1,135,000 along with cost escalators over the 20 year 
lease period. The anticipated income over the 20 year lease period is 
$2,369,800.
    The LAA is proposing to build an 85' X 57' single-story; slab-on-
grade Maintenance Building approximately 900' north of Runway 8-26 on 
airport property. The Pre-Engineered Metal Building includes office 
space, two (2) service bays, and one (1) wash bay and will be 
constructed parallel to Millport Road along the northern edge of 
airport property. Coordinates of the building's four corners: NW: 
40[deg]7'33.48'', -76[deg]17'36.38'', NE: 40[deg]7'33.62'', -
76[deg]17'35.66'', SE: 40[deg]7'32.80'', -76[deg]17'35.38'', SW: 
40[deg]7'32.66'', -76[deg]17'36.10''.
    The facility remains the property of the LAA and will bring in 
necessary non-aviation income. The facility will be able to be utilized 
by other types of users in the event that the current tenant does not 
remain on the property. The tenant currently rents adjacent to where 
the maintenance facility will be located to store their school buses.
