SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with section 47107(h) of Title 
49, United States Code, this notice is required to be published in the 
Federal Register 30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that 
requires the property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.
    Parcel 1 is currently used by the City of Sioux Falls as a City 
storage lot and its proposed future use will remain the same. The City 
of Sioux Falls originally acquired this parcel as part of a Surplus 
Property Quitclaim deed from the United States of America, acting by 
and through the War Assets Administrator on December 19, 1947. Parcel 2 
is currently used as part of the City of Sioux Falls Elmwood Golf 
Course and its proposed future use will remain the same. This parcel 
was acquired by the City of Sioux Falls on March 31, 1942. Parcel 3 is 
currently vacant land the airport leases out for haying and is proposed 
to continue to be used for airport compatible non-aeronautical 
purposes. This parcel was acquired by the City of Sioux Falls on 
December 27, 1965. On July 8, 1987, the City of Sioux Falls, 
transferred ownership of the airport, including these three parcels to 
the Sioux Falls Regional Airport Authority. The Sioux Falls Regional 
Airport Authority is proposing to grant these three parcels of airport 
property to the City of Sioux Falls. In return, the City will deed 2.65 
acres of City property located within the Runway 3/21 Safety Area and 
approximately 273.3 acres of easements that will protect the Runway 3/
21 Runway Protection Zone and Approach surfaces. This proposed swap of 
land is advantageous to the airport and enhances the Sioux Falls 
Regional Airport Authority's ability to ensure future compatible land 
use within the Runway Protection Zones and Approach surfaces for Runway 
3/21.
    The disposition of proceeds from the sale of the airport property 
will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the 
Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 
16, 1999 (64 FR 7696).
    This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of 
the subject airport property at the Sioux Falls Regional Airport, Sioux 
Falls, South Dakota from federal land covenants, subject to a 
reservation for continuing right of flight as well as restrictions on 
the released property as required in FAA Order 5190.6B section 22.16. 
Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially 
assist in the disposal of the subject airport property nor a 
determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA.
    The legal descriptions for the three parcels are as follows:
    Parcel 1--Tract 3 of County Auditor's Subdivision in the SE \1/3\ 
of Section 6, Township 101N, Range 49 west of the 5th Principal 
Meridian.
