Notice of Release of an Easement Restriction; Phoenix-Mesa 
Gateway Airport, Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of request to release airport land.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a 
proposal to partially release a perpetual easement restriction at the 
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (IWA), Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. In 
exchange for fee simple interest in 19 acres, the FAA would release a 
32-acres perpetual easement with conditions, located outside of the 
airfield, adjacent to the northeast corner of Ellsworth Rd. and the 
Pecos Rd. The FAA invites public comment on this proposal.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 21, 2025.

FAA at the following address: Mr. Mike N Williams, Manager, Phoenix 
Airports District Office, Federal Aviation Administration, 3800 N 
Central Ave., Suite 1025, 10th Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85012. In 
addition, one copy of the comment submitted to the FAA must be mailed 
or delivered to Mr. J. Brian O'Neill, Executive Director/CEO, Phoenix-

    Mr. J. Brian O'Neill, Executive Director/CEO, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway 
Airport, 480-988-7608.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The perpetual easement was transferred to 
the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority in 1998 from the United 
States Air Force after the Base Realignment and Closure process. The 
easement will be released to the current property owner for compatible 
non-aeronautical development. Such use of the land represents a 
compatible land use that will not interfere with the airport or its 
operation, thereby protecting the interests of civil aviation. The 
airport will be compensated for the fair market value of the use of the 
land.
    In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and 
Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 10-181 (Apr. 5, 
2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be published in the Federal 
Register 30 days before the DOT Secretary may waive any condition 
imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus property conveyance 
deeds or grant agreements.

    Issued in El Segundo, California, on April 15, 2025.
Brian Q. Armstrong,
Manager, Safety and Standards Branch, Airports Division, Western-
Pacific Region.
