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.
The land was originally transferred from the United States of
America by quitclaim deeds to the Rickenbacker Port Authority on March
30, 1984 and May 11, 1999, under the Surplus Property Act of 1944. On
December 31, 2002, the Rickenbacker Port Authority transferred
ownership of the airport to the Franklin County, Ohio Board of
Commissioners. On the same day, the Franklin County, Ohio Board of
Commissioners transferred ownership to the Columbus Municipal Airport
Authority. The Columbus Municipal Airport Authority was re-structured
to form the Columbus Regional Airport Authority on January 28, 2003.
The land currently consists of vacant land, paved roadways, fencing,
utilities, a small arms outdoor firing range and a former munitions
site. The proposed future use of the land is for a cargo campus that
will be capable of accommodating several industrial buildings ranging
in size from 500,000 to 1,000,000 square feet. The Columbus Regional
Airport Authority will receive fair market value for the initial lease
and ultimate sale of this land.
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 Rickenbacker International Airport,
Columbus, Ohio 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.
