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 on surplus property on a federally obligated airport. The following is a brief overview of the request.
The Dinwiddie Airport and Industrial Authority has submitted a land release request seeking FAA approval for the disposal of 44.24 acres of federally obligated airport property. The property is located approximately 1000 feet northwest of the airport's primary runway, Runway 5/23, and includes the northern portion of former crosswind Runway 14/32 which was deactivated in 2014. Runway 14/32 was deactivated after the FAA determined that a crosswind runway for the airport was not necessary because Runway 5/23 provides greater than 95% wind coverage during all weather conditions and that the continued upkeep of Runway 14/32 was not eligible for federal grant funding. The parcel is not currently required or anticipated to be required for aeronautical use.
The 44.24 acres of land to be released was originally conveyed as part of a 602-acre, more or less, parcel through provisions of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 and the Surplus Property Act of 1944. Subsequent to the implementation of the proposed disposal, monies received by the airport from the sale of the property will be used in accordance with 14 CFR part 155. 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.
