Salisbury, MD from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use. This acreage 
was originally purchased with federal financial assistance through the

be compatible with the airport and will not interfere with the airport 
or its operation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 27, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on this application may be 
mailed or delivered to the following address:

Matthew J. Thys, Manager, Washington Airports District Office, 13873 
Park Center Road, Suite 490S, Herndon, VA 20171, (703) 487-3980

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), 
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be 
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may 
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by grant 
agreements. The following is a brief overview of the request.
    Wicomico County has submitted a land release request seeking FAA 
approval for the change in use of approximately 0.15 acres of federally 
obligated airport property from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use. 
The subject property is proposed to be improved with a cell tower and 
associated parking area.
    Parcel 6 was originally purchased with federal financial assistance 
through the ADAP program. The FAA has determined the proposed project 
would have no material impact on aircraft operations, at, to or from 
the airport; would not affect the safety of people and property on the 
ground adjacent to the airport as a result of aircraft operations; and 
would not have an adverse effect on the value of prior Federal 
investments to a significant extent. Subsequent to the implementation 
of the proposed change in use, rents received by the airport from this 
property is considered airport revenue, and will be used in accordance 
with 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and the FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning 
the Use of Airport Revenue published in the Federal Register on 
February 16, 1999. The proposed use of the property will not interfere 
with the airport or its operation.

    Issued in Herndon, Virginia.
Matthew J. Thys,
Manager, Washington Airports District Office.
