§ 1.1306 Actions which are categorically excluded from environmental
processing.
(a) Except as provided in § 1.1307 (c) and (d), Commission actions not
covered by § 1.1307 (a) and (b) are deemed individually and
cumulatively to have no significant effect on the quality of the human
environment and are categorically excluded from environmental
processing.
(b) Specifically, any Commission action with respect to any new
application, or minor or major modifications of existing or authorized
facilities or equipment, will be categorically excluded, provided such
proposals do not:
(1) Involve a site location specified under § 1.1307(a) (1)-(7), or
(2) Involve high intensity lighting under § 1.1307(a)(8).
(3) Result in human exposure to radiofrequency radiation in excess of
the applicable safety standards specified in § 1.1307(b).
Note 1: The provisions of § 1.1307(a) of this part requiring the
preparation of EAs do not encompass the mounting of antenna(s) on an
existing building or antenna tower unless § 1.1307(a)(4) of this part
is applicable. Such antennas are subject to § 1.1307(b) of this part
and require EAs if their construction would result in human exposure to
radiofrequency radiation in excess of the applicable health and safety
guidelines cited in § 1.1307(b) of this part. The provisions of
§ 1.1307 (a) and (b) of this part do not encompass the installation of
aerial wire or cable over existing aerial corridors of prior or
permitted use or the underground installation of wire or cable along
existing underground corridors of prior or permitted use, established
by the applicant or others. The use of existing buildings, towers or
corridors is an environmentally desirable alternative to the
construction of new facilities and is encouraged. The provisions of
§ 1.1307(a) and (b) of this part do not encompass the construction of
new submarine cable systems.
Note 2: The specific height of an antenna tower or supporting
structure, as well as the specific diameter of a satellite earth
station, in and of itself, will not be deemed sufficient to warrant
environmental processing, see § 1.1307 and § 1.1308, except as required
by the Bureau pursuant to the Note to § 1.1307(d).
Note 3: The construction of an antenna tower or supporting structure in
an established “antenna farm”: ( i.e. , an area in which similar
antenna towers are clustered, whether or not such area has been
officially designated as an antenna farm), will be categorically
excluded unless one or more of the antennas to be mounted on the tower
or structure are subject to the provisions of § 1.1307(b) and the
additional radiofrequency radiation from the antenna(s) on the new
tower or structure would cause human exposure in excess of the
applicable health and safety guidelines cited in § 1.1307(b).
