CHAPTER I--FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

                               (CONTINUED)

 

PART 155_RELEASE OF AIRPORT PROPERTY FROM SURPLUS PROPERTY DISPOSAL 

RESTRICTIONS--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 155.7  General policies.



    (a) Upon a request under Sec. 155.11, the Administrator issues any 

instrument that is necessary to remove, of record, any restriction 

against the use of property for industrial purposes that is in an 

instrument of disposal covered by this part.

    (b) The Administrator does not issue a release under this part if it 

would allow the sale of the property concerned to a third party, unless 

the public agency concerned has obligated itself to use the proceeds 

from the sale exclusively for developing, improving, operating, or 

maintaining a public airport.

    (c) Except for a release from a restriction against using property 

for industrial purposes, the Administrator does not issue a release 

under this part unless it is justified under Sec. 155.3(a) (1) or (2).

    (d) The Administrator may issue a release from the terms, 

conditions, reservations, or restrictions of an instrument of disposal 

subject to any other terms or conditions that he considers necessary to 

protect or advance the interests of the United States in civil aviation. 

Such a term or condition, including one regarding the use of proceeds 

from the sale of property, is imposed as a personal covenant or 

obligation of the public agency concerned rather than as a term or 

condition to the release or as a covenant running with the land, unless 

the Administrator determines that the purpose of the term or condition 

would be better achieved as a condition or covenant running with the 

land.

    (e) A letter or other document issued by the Administrator that 

merely grants consent to or approval of a lease, or to the use of the 

property for other than the airport use contemplated by the instrument 

of disposal, does not otherwise release the property from the terms, 

conditions, reservations, or restrictions of the instrument of disposal.
