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 property is currently vacant land with no current or proposed
future aeronautical use. The land proposed for release and disposal was
originally transferred by quitclaim deed to The Regents of the
University of Michigan on January 15, 1947 jointly between the United
States of America and Reconstruction Finance Corporation, both acting
by and through the War Assets Administrator under and pursuant to
Executive Order 9689, dated January 31, 1946, and the powers and
authority contained in the provisions of the Surplus Property Act of
1944, as amended. On January 31, 1977, the subject property was
transferred by quitclaim deed to the Board of County Road Commissioners
of the County of Wayne, Michigan. The Detroit County Airport Authority
plans to sell the subject property at fair market value to the GLWA to
construct and operate a new Ypsilanti water pump transfer station that
will service the immediate surrounding community, and potentially the
City of Ann Arbor in the future, with drinking water.
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 Willow Run Airport, Detroit,
Michigan 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.
A parcel of land located in the southeast quarter of section 8,
T.3S., R.8E., Van Buren Township, Wayne County, Michigan described as
