Subpart A—General Information
top
§ 17.1 Basis and purpose.
top
(a) The rules in this part are issued pursuant to the authority contained in
Title III of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, which vest
authority in the Federal Communications Commission to issue licenses to
radio stations when it is found that the public interest, convenience, and
necessity would be served thereby, and to require the painting, and/or
illumination of antenna structures if and when in its judgment such
structures constitute, or there is reasonable possibility that they may
constitute, a menace to air navigation.
(b) The purpose of this part is to prescribe certain procedures for antenna
structure registration and standards with respect to the Commission's
consideration of proposed antenna structures which will serve as a guide to
antenna structure owners. The standards are referenced from two Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circulars.
[ 61 FR 4362 , Feb. 6, 1996]
§ 17.2 Definitions.
top
(a) Antenna structure. The term antenna structure includes the radiating
and/or receive system, its supporting structures and any appurtenances
mounted thereon.
(b) An antenna farm area is defined as a geographical location, with
established boundaries, designated by the Federal Communications Commission,
in which antenna towers with a common impact on aviation may be grouped.
(c) Antenna structure owner. For the purposes of this part, an antenna
structure owner is the individual or entity vested with ownership, equitable
ownership, dominion, or title to the antenna structure. Notwithstanding any
agreements made between the owner and any entity designated by the owner to
maintain the antenna structure, the owner is ultimately responsible for
compliance with the requirements of this part.
(d) Antenna structure registration number. A unique number, issued by the
Commission during the registration process, which identifies an antenna
structure. Once obtained, this number must be used in all filings related to
this structure.
[ 32 FR 8813 , June 21, 1967, and 32 FR 11268 , Aug. 3, 1967, as amended at 39 FR 26157 , July 17, 1974; 61 FR 4362 , Feb. 6, 1996]
§ 17.4 Antenna structure registration.
top
(a) Effective July 1, 1996, the owner of any proposed or existing antenna
structure that requires notice of proposed construction to the Federal
Aviation Administration must register the structure with the Commission.
This includes those structures used as part of stations licensed by the
Commission for the transmission of radio energy, or to be used as part of a
cable television head end system. If a Federal Government antenna structure
is to be used by a Commission licensee, the structure must be registered
with the Commission.
(1) For a proposed antenna structure or alteration of an existing antenna
structure, the owner must register the structure prior to construction or
alteration.
(2) For an existing antenna structure that had been assigned painting or
lighting requirements prior to July 1, 1996, the owner must register the
structure prior to July 1, 1998.
(3) For a structure that did not originally fall under the definition of
“antenna structure,” the owner must register the structure prior to hosting
a Commission licensee.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, each owner must
file FCC Form 854 with the Commission. Additionally, each owner of a
proposed structure referred to in paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(3) of this
section must submit a valid FAA determination of “no hazard.” In order to be
considered valid by the Commission, the FAA determination of “no hazard”
must not have expired prior to the date on which FCC Form 854 is received by
the Commission. The height of the structure will include the highest point
of the structure including any obstruction lighting or lighting arrester.
(c) If an Environmental Assessment is required under §1.1307 of this
chapter, the Bureau will address the environmental concerns prior to
processing the registration.
(d) If a final FAA determination of “no hazard” is not submitted along with
FCC Form 854, processing of the registration may be delayed or disapproved.
(e) If the owner of the antenna structure cannot file FCC Form 854 because
it is subject to a denial of Federal benefits under the Anti-Drug Abuse Act
of 1988, 21 U.S.C. 862, the first tenant licensee authorized to locate on
the structure (excluding tenants that no longer occupy the structure) must
register the structure using FCC Form 854, and provide a copy of the Antenna
Structure Registration (FCC Form 854R) to the owner. The owner remains
responsible for providing a copy of FCC Form 854R to all tenant licensees on
the structure and for posting the registration number as required by
paragraph (g) of this section.
(f) The Commission shall issue, to the registrant, FCC Form 854R, Antenna
Structure Registration, which assigns a unique Antenna Structure
Registration Number. The structure owner shall immediately provide a copy of
Form 854R to each tenant licensee and permittee.
(g) Except as described in paragraph (h) of this section, the Antenna
Structure Registration Number must be displayed in a conspicuous place so
that it is readily visible near the base of the antenna structure. Materials
used to display the Antenna Structure Registration Number must be
weather-resistant and of sufficient size to be easily seen at the base of
the antenna structure.
(h) The owner is not required to post the Antenna Structure Registration
Number in cases where a federal, state, or local government entity provides
written notice to the owner that such a posting would detract from the
appearance of a historic landmark. In this case, the owner must make the
Antenna Structure Registration Number available to representatives of the
Commission, the FAA, and the general public upon reasonable demand.
[ 61 FR 4362 , Feb. 6, 1996]
§ 17.5 Commission consideration of applications for station authorization.
top
(a) Applications for station authorization, excluding services authorized on
a geographic basis, are reviewed to determine whether there is a requirement
that the antenna structure in question must be registered with the
Commission.
(b) If registration is required, the registrant must supply the structure's
registration number upon request by the Commission.
(c) If registration is not required, the application for authorization will
be processed without further regard to this chapter.
[ 61 FR 4362 , Feb. 6, 1996]
§ 17.6 Responsibility of Commission licensees and permittees.
top
(a) The antenna structure owner is responsible for maintaining the painting
and lighting in accordance with this part. However, if a licensee or
permittee authorized on an antenna structure is aware that the structure is
not being maintained in accordance with the specifications set forth on the
Antenna Structure Registration (FCC Form 854R) or the requirements of this
part, or otherwise has reason to question whether the antenna structure
owner is carrying out its responsibility under this part, the licensee or
permittee must take immediate steps to ensure that the antenna structure is
brought into compliance and remains in compliance. The licensee must:
(1) Immediately notify the structure owner;
(2) Immediately notify the site management company (if applicable);
(3) Immediately notify the Commission; and,
(4) Make a diligent effort to immediately bring the structure into
compliance.
(b) In the event of non-compliance by the antenna structure owner, the
Commission may require each licensee and permittee authorized on an antenna
structure to maintain the structure, for an indefinite period, in accordance
with the Antenna Structure Registration (FCC Form 854R) and the requirements
of this part.
(c) If the owner of the antenna structure cannot file FCC Form 854 because
it is subject to a denial of Federal benefits under the Anti-Drug Abuse Act
of 1988, 21 U.S.C. 862, the first licensee authorized to locate on the
structure must register the structure using FCC Form 854, and provide a copy
of the Antenna Structure Registration (FCC Form 854R) to the owner. The
owner remains responsible for providing a copy of FCC Form 854R to all
tenant licensees on the structure and for posting the registration number as
required by §17.4(g).
[ 61 FR 4363 , Feb. 6, 1996]
Subpart B—Federal Aviation Administration Notification Criteria
top
§ 17.7 Antenna structures requiring notification to the FAA.

(3) 25 to 1 for a horizontal distance of 1.52 kilometers (5,000 feet) from
the nearest point of the nearest landing and takeoff area of each heliport
specified in paragraph (d) of this section.
(c) When requested by the FAA, any construction or alteration that would be
in an instrument approach area (defined in the FAA standards governing
instrument approach procedures) and available information indicates it might
exceed an obstruction standard of the FAA.
(d) Any construction or alteration on any of the following airports
(including heliports):
(1) An airport that is available for public use and is listed in the Airport
Directory of the current Airman's Information Manual or in either the Alaska
or Pacific Airman's Guide and Chart Supplement.
(2) An airport under construction, that is the subject of a notice or
proposal on file with the Federal Aviation Administration, and except for
military airports, it is clearly indicated that the airport will be
available for public use.
(3) An airport that is operated by an armed force of the United States.
Note: Consideration to aeronautical facilities not in existence at the time
of the filing of the application for radio facilities will be given only
when proposed airport construction or improvement plans are on file with the
Federal Aviation Administration as of the filing date of the application for
such radio facilities.
[ 39 FR 7581 , Feb. 27, 1974, as amended at 39 FR 26157 , July 17, 1974; 42 FR 54823 , Oct. 11, 1977; 42 FR 57127 , Nov. 1, 1977]
§ 17.8 Establishment of antenna farm areas.
top
(a) Each antenna farm area will be established by an appropriate rulemaking
proceeding, which may be commenced by the Commission on its own motion after
consultation with the FAA, upon request of the FAA, or as a result of a
petition filed by any interested person. After receipt of a petition from an
interested person disclosing sufficient reasons to justify institution of a
rulemaking proceeding, the Commission will request the advice of the FAA
with respect to the considerations of menace to air navigation in terms of
air safety which may be presented by the proposal. The written communication
received from the FAA in response to the Commission's request shall be
placed in the Commission's public rulemaking file containing the petition,
and interested persons shall be allowed a period of 30 days within which to
file statements with respect thereto. Such statements shall also be filed
with the Administrator of the FAA with proof of such filing to be
established in accordance with §1.47 of this chapter. The Administrator of
the FAA shall have a period of 15 days within which to file responses to
such statements. If the Commission, upon consideration of the matters
presented to it in accordance with the above procedure, is satisfied that
establishment of the proposed antenna farm would constitute a menace to air
navigation for reasons of air safety, rulemaking proceedings will not be
instituted. If rulemaking proceedings are instituted, any person filing
comments therein which concern the question of whether the proposed antenna
farm will constitute a menace to air navigation shall file a copy of the
comments with the Administrator of the FAA. Proof of such filing shall be
established in accordance with §1.47 of this chapter.
(b) Nothing in this subpart shall be construed to mean that only one antenna
farm area will be designated for a community. The Commission will consider
on a case-by-case basis whether or not more than one antenna farm area shall
be designated for a particular community.
[ 32 FR 8813 , June 21, 1967, as amended at 32 FR 13591 , Sept. 28, 1967]
§ 17.9 Designated antenna farm areas.
top
The areas described in the following paragraphs of this section are
established as antenna farm areas [appropriate paragraphs will be added as
necessary].
[ 32 FR 8813 , June 21, 1967]
§ 17.10 Antenna structures over 304.80 meters (1,000 feet) in height.
top
Where one or more antenna farm areas have been designated for a community or
communities (see §17.9), the Commission will not accept for filing an
application to construct a new station or to increase height or change
antenna location of an existing station proposing the erection of an antenna
structure over 304.80 meters (1,000 feet) above ground unless:
(a) It is proposed to locate the antenna structure in a designated antenna
farm area, or
(b) It is accompanied by a statement from the Federal Aviation
Administration that the proposed structure will not constitute a menace to
air navigation, or
(c) It is accompanied by a request for waiver setting forth reasons
sufficient, if true, to justify such a waiver.
[ 32 FR 8813 , June 21, 1967, as amended at 42 FR 54824 , Oct. 11, 1977; 61 FR 4363 , Feb. 6, 1996]
§ 17.14 Certain antenna structures exempt from notification to the FAA.
top
A notification to the Federal Aviation Administration is not required for
any of the following construction or alteration:
(a) Any object that would be shielded by existing structures of a permanent
and substantial character or by natural terrain or topographic features of
equal or greater height, and would be located in the congested area of a
city, town, or settlement where it is evident beyond all reasonable doubt
that the structure so shielded will not adversely affect safety in air
navigation. Applicant claiming such exemption under §17.14(a) shall submit a
statement with their application to the FCC explaining basis in detail for
their finding.
(b) Any antenna structure of 6.10 meters (20 feet) or less in height except
one that would increase the height of another antenna structure.
(c) Any air navigation facility, airport visual approach or landing aid,
aircraft arresting device, or meteorological device, of a type approved by
the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, the location and
height of which is fixed by its functional purpose.
[ 32 FR 11269 , Aug. 3, 1967, as amended at 39 FR 7581 , Feb. 27, 1974; 42 FR 54824 , Oct. 11, 1977; 61 FR 4363 , Feb. 6, 1996]
§ 17.17 Existing structures.
top
(a) The requirements found in §17.23 relating to painting and lighting of
antenna structures shall not apply to those structures authorized prior to
July 1, 1996. Previously authorized structures may retain their present
painting and lighting specifications, so long as the overall structure
height or site coordinates do not change. The Antenna Structure Registration
requirements found in §17.5, however, shall apply to all antenna structures
that have been assigned painting or lighting requirements by the Commission,
regardless of prior authorization.
(b) No change in any of these criteria or relocation of airports shall at
any time impose a new restriction upon any then existing or authorized
antenna structure or structures.
[ 32 FR 11269 , Aug. 3, 1967, as amended at 61 FR 4363 , Feb. 6, 1996]
Subpart C—Specifications for Obstruction Marking and Lighting of Antenna
Structures
top
§ 17.21 Painting and lighting, when required.
top
Antenna structures shall be painted and lighted when:
(a) They exceed 60.96 meters (200 feet) in height above the ground or they
require special aeronautical study.
(b) The Commission may modify the above requirement for painting and/or
lighting of antenna structures, when it is shown by the applicant that the
absence of such marking would not impair the safety of air navigation, or
that a lesser marking requirement would insure the safety thereof.
[ 32 FR 11269 , Aug. 3, 1967, as amended at 42 FR 54824 , Oct. 11, 1977]
§ 17.22 Particular specifications to be used.
top
Whenever painting or lighting is required, the Commission will generally
assign specifications in accordance with the FAA Advisory Circulars
referenced in §17.23. If an antenna installation is of such a nature that
its painting and lighting in accordance with these specifications are
confusing, or endanger rather than assist airmen, or are otherwise
inadequate, the Commission will specify the type of painting and lighting or
other marking to be used in the individual situation.
[ 32 FR 11269 , Aug. 3, 1967, as amended at 61 FR 4363 , Feb. 6, 1996]
