DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of Intent of Waiver With Respect to Land; Sloulin Field
International Airport, ISN, Williston, North Dakota
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a proposal to change 788.93 acres of
airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to
authorize the sale of airport property located at the former Sloulin
Field International Airport, ISN, Williston, ND. The aforementioned
land is not needed for aeronautical use because the new Williston Basin
International Airport, XWA, Williston, ND is open and available for
public aeronautical use. The former Williston Airport, ISN, site is
located primarily on the west side of Highway 2, north of 26th Street
in the City of Williston with 7.25 acres located on the east side of
Highway 2. The airport's prior aeronautical use was for commercial and
general aviation flying. The proposed non-aeronautical use of the
property will be for commercial and residential development.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 27, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review by appointment at the FAA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In accordance with section 47107(h) of Title 49, United States
Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal Register
30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires the
property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.
The former Sloulin Field International Airport was a commercial
service airport located in the City of Williston, ND. The land was
acquired by the City of Williston with funding assistance from the FAA
AIP, ADAP and FAAP grant programs, ND State Aeronautics Commission and
local funding. The City of Williston plans to make the former airport
site available for development opportunities including combinations of
multi-family residential, commercial and business uses as well as
public and civic uses.
The disposition of proceeds from the sale of the airport property
will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the
Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February
16, 1999 (64 FR 7696). Approval does not constitute a commitment by the
FAA to financially assist in the change in use of the subject airport
property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding
from the FAA.
This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of
the subject airport property at the former Sloulin Field International
Airport, ISN, Williston, ND from all federal land covenants, subject to
a restrictive covenant related to the future use of certain ``avoidance
areas'' within the released property. The FAA's Finding of No
Significant Impact/Record of Decision for the Proposed Replacement
Airport (XWA), dated September 22, 2015, requires such restrictive
covenant as a condition for releasing the former airport property.
Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially
assist in the disposal of the subject airport property nor a
determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA.
