<NOTICE> DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION <SUBAGY>Federal Aviation Administration</SUBAGY> <SUBJECT>Notice of Intent of Waiver With Respect to Land; Rantoul National Aviation Center—Frank Elliott Field, Rantoul, IL</SUBJECT> <HD SOURCE="HED">AGENCY:</HD> Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. <HD SOURCE="HED">ACTION:</HD> Notice. <SUM> <HD SOURCE="HED">SUMMARY:</HD> The FAA is considering a proposal to change 109.91 acres of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of airport property located at Rantoul National Aviation Center—Elliott Field, Rantoul, IL. The aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use. The subject parcels (13 in total) are located in the western half of the airport, all being west of Runway 18/36, south of Urbana Avenue, east of Century Boulevard, and north of Township Highway 154 S. Many of the subject parcels have old industrial buildings that supported the United States military mission (Chanute Air Force Base) and now are in a state of disrepair. The proposed sale would allow the cost of the repair and maintenance of these old structures to be transferred to the buyers of the parcels and the proceeds of the sale to be used for airport purposes. The parcels would be used for non-aeronautical purposes that are compatible with airport operations. </SUM> <DATES> <HD SOURCE="HED">DATES:</HD> Comments must be received on or before October 18, 2024. </DATES> <HD SOURCE="HED">ADDRESSES:</HD> All requisite and supporting documentation will be made available for review by appointment at the FAA Chicago Airports District Office, Azra Hussain, Program Manager, 2300 E.
