Notice of Intent To Rule on Request To Release Airport Land at
the Madera Municipal Airport, Madera, CA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration proposes to rule and
invites public comment on the release of approximately 1.332 acres of
land at Madera Municipal Airport, Madera, California, from all
restrictions of the surplus property agreement. The purpose of the
release is to permit the sale of the property located in the north east
side of the airport and immediately adjacent to Aviation Drive to an
individual for the construction of an aircraft hangar on land cost-
prohibitive for the City of Madera to develop.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 17, 2002.
ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered in
triplicate to the FAA at the following address: Federal Aviation
Administration, Airports Division, 15000 Aviation Blvd., Lawndale, CA

90261, Telephone: (310) 725-3620. The request to release airport
property may be reviewed in person at this same location.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 5, 2000, new authorizing
legislation became effective. That bill, the Wendell H. Ford Aviation
Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 10-
181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), requires that a 30-day public notice
must be provided before the Secretary may waive any condition imposed
on an interest in surplus property.
The following is a brief overview of the request:
The City of Madera requested the release of approximately 1.332
acres of dedicated airport land at Madera Municipal Airport, Madera,
California, from surplus property agreement obligations. The purpose of
the release is to permit the sale of property that is cost prohibitive
for the City of Madera to develop into any kind of aeronautical use.
The property is an economic deterrent as the site is being at low
elevation so as to require significant fill to bring it to grade. The
net proceeds will be utilized for airport improvements for projects
identified in the Airport Capital Improvement Plan.
Issued in Hawthorne, California, on June 5, 2002.
Herman C. Bliss,
Manager, Airports Division, Western-Pacific Region.
