Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be 
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may 
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by grant 
agreements. The following is a brief overview of the request.
    Peninsula Airport Commission has submitted a land release request 
seeking FAA approval for the disposal of approximately 0.083 acres of 
federally obligated airport property. The property is situated around 
the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Brick Kiln Boulevard. The 
subject area is unable to be utilized for aviation purposes because the 
airport operations area is located to north of this intersection. The 
subject area is inaccessible to aircraft.
    The 0.083 acres of land to be released was originally conveyed as 
part of a 920-acre, more or less, parcel through provisions of the 
Federal Airport Act of 1946 and the Surplus Property Act of 1944. The 
portions of the parcel being conveyed are contiguous with the existing 
road right of ways. Subsequent to the implementation of the proposed 
disposal, monies received by the airport from the sale of this property 
are considered airport revenue, and will be used in accordance with 49 
U.S.C. 47107(b) and the FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use 
of Airport Revenue published in the Federal Register on February 16, 
1999. The proposed use of the property will not interfere with the 
airport or its operation.

    Issued in Herndon, Virginia, January 25, 2023.

Manager, Washington Airports District Office.
