                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy J. Walter, Airports Land
                Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports Division, ACE-
                620G, 901 Locust, Room 364, Kansas City, MO 64106, (816) 329-2603,
                [email protected]. The request to release property may be reviewed, by
                appointment, in person at this same location.
                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
                request to release one tract of land consisting of approximately 16.06
                acres of airport property at the Ankeny Regional Airport (IKV) under
                the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On February 12, 2020, the
                Attorney for the Polk County Aviation Authority requested a release
                from the FAA to sell a tract of land, 16.06 acres. Buyer, Van Houweling
                Property LLC, will use the land for development. On May 4, 2020, the
                FAA determined that the request to release property at the Ankeny
                Regional Airport (IKV) submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural
                requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the release 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 Ankeny Regional Airport (IKV) is proposing the release of
                airport property containing 16.06 acres, more or less. 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 Ankeny Regional Airport (IKV) 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 dispose of 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, upon appointment and request, inspect the
                application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be
                related to the application in person at the Ankeny City Hall.
                 Issued in Kansas City, MO on May 4, 2020.
                James A. Johnson,
                Director, FAA Central Region, Airports Division.
