    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport (LBL) is proposing the release 
and sale of two tracts of land in the airport industrial park totaling 
approximately 5 acres 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 release of land and surface rights at the Liberal Mid-
America Regional Airport (LBL) from the conditions of the AIP Grant 
Agreement Grant Assurances. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 
47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will receive fair market value 
and the property will continue to be used for commercial businesses by 
the existing tenants on these tracts.
