INTRODUCTION In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, we find that United States Cellular Corporation (``US Cellular''), owner of antenna structure number 1233307 located near Ellsworth, Iowa, willfully violated Sections 17.21 and 17.45 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''), by failing to light or paint its antenna structure and failing to install temporary warning lights on its antenna structure during construction. We find United States Cellular Corporation apparently liable for forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). II.

  • levels of red obstruction lights, evenly spaced along the length of the antenna structure, with flashing lights at the very top and with lower levels alternating between steady burning and flashing lights. There were no flashing red lights illuminated at the very top of the antenna structure. In addition, some of the required lower-level flashing lights were not illuminated. Section 17.45 of the Commission's Rules specifies that: ``[d]uring construction of an antenna structure for which red obstruction lighting is required, at least two 116 or 125 watt lamps (A21/TS) enclosed in aviation red obstruction light globes, shall be installed at the uppermost point of the structure....

See FAA Filing. We note that on January 16, 2001, the Commission issued a Notice of Apparent Liability (NAL) against ATC for 36 violations of Sections 17.4(a), 17.4(a)(1), 17.4(g), 17.45, and 17.57 of the Rules. ATC entered into a Consent Decree with the Commission on August 2, 2001, which terminated the investigations detailed in the NAL. The Consent Decree required ATC to make a voluntary contribution to the U.S. Treasury of $300,000 and abide by a Part 17 Compliance Plan. Since 2001, ATC has not had a significant history of

  • We therefore seek comment on whether we should implement a time limitation for lighting system repairs. If such a requirement is implemented, should it be based on the geographic location of the antenna structure? Should weather conditions be considered when determining the reasonableness of a time period requirement? We seek comment on these proposals. 2. Elimination of Unnecessary Provisions Sections 17.45, 17.51, and 17.56(b) each set forth specific requirements for antenna structure owners to follow in exhibiting or maintaining lights. Section 17.45 of the rules specifies the type of temporary warning lights to be used during construction of antenna structures for which red obstruction lighting is required. Section 17.51 of the rules requires red obstruction lighting to be on from sunset
