SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release a 44.47 acre parcel of airport property at the
Philip Billard Airport, (TOP) provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). The
Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority requested a release from the FAA
to sell a 44.47 acre parcel for continued use as agricultural
production. The FAA determined this request to release and sell
property at the Philip Bilard Airport (TOP) submitted by the Sponsor
meets the procedural requirements of the FAA and the release and sale
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 Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority (TOP) is proposing the
release from obligations and sale of a 44.47 acre parcel of airport
property. The 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
sale of the subject property will result in the land at the Philip
Billard Airport ( ) 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 order to sell
the land. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the
airport will receive fair market value for the property, which will be
subsequently reinvested in another eligible airport improvement project
for general aviation use.
Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In
addition, any person may request an appointment to inspect the
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be
related to the application in person at the Metropolitan Topeka Airport
Authority Business Center.
Issued in Kansas City, MO, on October 15, 2024.
Rodney N. Joel,
Director, FAA Central Region, Airports Division.
