The land is made up of one parcel and is located along the White River, 
just west of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. It was the site of a

from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and intends to ultimately 
sell the land at fair market value for future public use. This is all

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 Indianapolis International Airport, 
Indianapolis, Indiana 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.
