  § 17.48   Notification of extinguishment or improper functioning of lights.

   The owner of any antenna structure which is registered with the Commission
   and has been assigned lighting specifications referenced in this part:

   (a) Shall report immediately to the FAA, by means acceptable to the FAA, any
   observed or otherwise known extinguishment or improper functioning of any
   top steady burning light or any flashing obstruction light, regardless of
   its position on the antenna structure, not corrected within 30 minutes. If
   the lights cannot be repaired within the FAA's Notices to Airmen (NOTAM)
   period, the owner shall notify the FAA to extend the outage date and report
   a return-to-service date. The owner shall repeat this process until the
   lights are repaired. Such reports shall set forth the condition of the light
   or lights, the circumstances which caused the failure, the probable date for
   restoration of service, the FCC Antenna Structure Registration Number, the
   height  of  the structure (AGL and AMSL if known) and the name, title,
   address, and telephone number of the person making the report. Further
   notification  to the FAA by means acceptable to the FAA shall be given
   immediately upon resumption of normal operation of the light or lights.

   (b) An extinguishment or improper functioning of a steady burning side
   intermediate light or lights, shall be corrected as soon as practicable, but
   notification to the FAA of such extinguishment or improper functioning is
   not required.
