SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to change two parcels of land totaling 24.176 acres of airport
property at the Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport (ICT)
from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical for revenue producing use.
These parcels will be developed for commercial use with no airfield
access.
No airport landside or airside facilities are presently located on
these parcels, nor are airport developments contemplated in the future.
There is no current use of the surface of the parcel. The parcel will
serve as a revenue producing lot with the proposed change from
aeronautical to non-aeronautical. The request submitted by the Sponsor
meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration and the change to non-aeronautical status of the
property does not and will not impact future aviation needs at the
airport. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, no
sooner than thirty days after the publication of this Notice.
The following is a brief overview of the request:
The Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport (ICT) is
proposing the use release of two parcels of land totaling 24.176 acres
from aeronautical to non-aeronautical. The use release of land is
necessary to comply with Federal Aviation Administration Grant
Assurances that do not allow federally acquired airport property to be
used for non-aviation purposes. The rental of the subject property will
result in the land at the Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport
(ICT) being changed from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and
release the lands from the conditions of the Airport Improvement
Program Grant Agreement Grant Assurances. In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will receive fair market
rental value for theproperty. The annual income from rent payments will
generate a long-term, revenue-producing stream that will further the
Sponsor's obligation under FAA Grant Assurance number 24, to make the
Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport as financially self-
sufficient as possible. Following is a legal description of the subject
airport property at the Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport
(ICT):
