SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
airport sponsor's request to release property at the Baton Rouge 
Metropolitan Airport.
    On February 4, 2009 the FAA determined that the request to release 
property at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport submitted by the City 
of Baton Rouge/Parish of East Baton Rouge met the procedural 
requirements of the Federal Aviation regulations, Part 155. The FAA may 
approve the request, in whole or in part, no later than March 31, 2009.
    The City of Baton Rouge/Parish of East Baton Rouge requests the 
release of  1.115 acres (48,569 square feet) of airport 
property. The release of this airport property along the existing 
Harding Boulevard will allow for the sale of a portion of said site, 
also known as Lot 22, to proceed. The sale is estimated to 
provide $486,000.00 to the City of Baton Rouge/Parish of East Baton 
Rouge that will allow the City of Baton Rouge/Parish of East Baton 
Rouge to market subject property for highest and best use, which is 
deemed to be commercial development. The proceeds obtained from the 
sale of the land to the highest bidder will be used in the operation 
and maintenance of the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport.
    Any person may inspect the request in person at the FAA office 
listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    In addition, any person may, upon request, inspect the application, 
notice and other documents germane to the application in person at the
