Streamlining the Antenna Structure Clearance Procedure and Revision of the Rules Concerning Construction, Marking, and Lighting of Antenna Structures

The Commission has adopted a Notice of Proposed Rule Making which seeks to streamline the Commission's antenna structure clearance process by instituting a uniform registration process for structure owners, revise the current antenna structure painting and lighting requirements in keeping with updated recommendations by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and make antenna structure owners primarily responsible for antenna structures that require painting and/ or lighting. This action stems from the Commission's effort to streamline regulatory processes and eliminate unnecessary public burdens as well as the need to update the Commission's Rules to reflect recent changes in two FAA Advisory Circulars and the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Thus, the proposed rules should reduce the number of Commission filings, expedite the processing authorizations involving FAA coordination, and clarify rules concerning the painting and lighting of antenna structures.
