  § 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.
