SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA is reviewing a request by the
Huntsville-Madison County Airport Authority for a proposed a land swap
at Huntsville International Airport (HSV) under the provisions of Title
49, U.S.C. 47153(c).
The Boeing tract (Tract R-14) was originally acquired with Federal
Aid to Airports Program (FAAP) grant funds in 1965 to establish the new
airport. The FAA determined that the land swap requested at Huntsville
International Airport (HSV) submitted by the Sponsor meets the
procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration, and the
request will benefit HSV by allowing the airport to acquire parcels
located along the south side of the existing Taxiway L (Lima) that is
better suited for aeronautical development and by ensuring permanent
access to the Air Traffic Control Tower area. This request 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 property is located north of
Boeing Blvd. SW, south of Taxiway L (Lima) and between the main runways
at HSV. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i), the airport
will receive fair market value for the property, and the net proceeds
from the sale of this property will be used for maintenance and
improvements at Huntsville International Airport (HSV).
Any person may inspect the request in person at the FAA office
listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
In addition, any person may, upon request, inspect the request,
notice and other documents germane to the request in person at the
Huntsville International Airport (HSV).
