DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of Proposed Release From the Grant Assurance Obligations
To Allow a Portion of Airport Property To Be Used for Non-Aeronautical
Purposes at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR), Syracuse, New
York
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of request to release airport land to be used for non-
aeronautical purposes through a long term lease.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on the
application for a release of approximately 20.24 acres of federally
obligated airport property at Syracuse Hancock International Airport,
Syracuse, New York, from conditions, reservations, and restrictions
contained in Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants. This acreage is
composed of portions of three parcels. The first two parcels consists
of 11.75 acres and 6.29 acres that were acquired without federal
assistance. The third parcel consists of 2.20 acres that was acquired
by the City of Syracuse through AIP Grant 3-36-0114-02-83. The release
will allow the airport to enter into a long-term non-aeronautical lease
for mixed-use commercial development. The proposed use of land after
the release will be compatible with the airport and will not interfere
with the airport or its operation.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 31, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on this application may be
submitted to Janine Abyad, Federal Aviation Administration, New York
Airports District Office via phone at (718) 995-5793 or at the email

District Office, Federal Register Comment, 1 Aviation Plaza, Jamaica,

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 imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus
property conveyance deeds or grant agreements. The following is a brief
overview of the request.
The City of Syracuse requested a release from grant assurances to
allow a change in use for approximately 20.24 acres of airport property
at Syracuse Hancock International Airport to enable the mixed-use
commercial development. Specifically, the release request seeks
approval to allow for the permanent non-aeronautical use of the
property, and a long-term non-aeronautical lease to be entered into for
the property.
The airport will retain ownership of the 20.24 acres and will
receive fair market value rent for the length of the agreement. The
rental income will be devoted to airport operations and capital
projects. The proposed use of the property will not interfere with the
airport or its operation; and will thereby, serve the interests of
civil aviation.
