Notice of Intent To Rule on Request to Release Airport Land at Hilo and Kahului Airports, Hawaii

Resumen

The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on the release of airport land needed to comply with the Hawaii Department of Transportation's (HDOT) obligations under the Tri-Party Agreement of 1984. The purpose of the Tri-Party Agreement was to extinguish lawsuits pending in state court that contested HDOT's use of certain lands for non-airport purposes. The Agreement called for HDOT to exchange land and money to compensate for subject land. The FAA objected to the transfer of land needed for airport or wildlife mitigation purposes. To resolve this matter, HDOT has proposed that other non-aeronautical use land be substituted for those parcels identified in the Tri-Party Agreement.
