Antenna Structure Registration
Requirements.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions
and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 16,000

Estimated Time per Response: .1–.25
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement, recordkeeping
requirement and third-party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in Sections 4, 303, 48 Stat.
1066, 1082, as amended; 47 U.S.C. 154,
303.
Total Annual Burden: 18,109 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $51,900.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
However, respondents may request
materials or information submitted to
the Commission be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval for a revision of
this information collection in order to
obtain the full three-year approval. The
Commission has adjusted its burden and
cost estimates in order to update the
collection burdens necessary to
implement a uniform registration
process as well as safe and effective
lighting procedures for owners of
antenna structures.
Section 17.4 includes third party
disclosure requirements. Specifically,
Section 17.4 requires the owner of any
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
proposed or existing antenna structure
that requires notice of proposed
construction to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) to register the
structure with the Commission. This
includes those structures used as part of
the 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. Section 17.4(f) provides
that antenna structure owners shall
immediately provide to all tenant
licensees and permittees notification
that the structure has been registered.
This may be done by providing either a
copy of Form 854R or a link to the FCC
antenna structure registration website.
This notification may be done
electronically or via paper mail.
Section 17.4(g) requires antenna
structure owners to display the Antenna
Structure Registration Number in a
conspicuous place that is readily visible
near the base of the antenna. This rule
specifically requires that the Antenna
Structure Number be displayed so that
it is conspicuously visible and legible
from the publicly accessible area nearest
the base of the antenna structure along
the publicly accessible roadway or path.
Where an antenna structure is
surrounded by a perimeter fence, or
where the point of access includes an
access gate, the Antenna Structure
Registration Number should be posted
on the perimeter fence or access gate.
Where multiple antenna structures
having separate Antenna Structure
Registration Numbers are located within
a single fenced area, the Antenna
Structure Registration Numbers must be
posted both on the perimeter fence or
access gate and near the base of each
antenna structure. If the base of the
antenna structure has more than one
point of access, the rule requires that the
Antenna Structure Registration Number
be posted so that it is visible at the
publicly accessible area nearest each
such point of access. The registration
number is issued to identify antenna
structure owners in order to enforce the
Congressionally-mandated provisions
related to the owners.
Sections 17.48 and 17.49 contain
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements. Section 17.48(a) requires
that antenna structure owners
immediately report outages of top
steady burning lights or flashing
antenna structure lights to the FAA, if
not corrected within 30 minutes. Upon
receipt of the outage notification, the
FAA will issue a Notice to Airmen
(NOTAM), which notifies aircraft of the
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703

outage. Consistent with FAA
requirements, if a lighting outage cannot
be repaired within the FAA’s original
NOTAM period, Section 17.48(a) further
requires the antenna structure owner to
notify the FAA of that fact and provide
any needed updates to its estimated
return-to-service date. The rule also
requires antenna structure owners to
continue to provide these updates to the
FAA every NOTAM period until its
lights are repaired.
Section 17.49 requires antenna
structure owners to maintain a record of
observed or otherwise known
extinguishments or improper
functioning of structure lights for two
years and provide the records to the
Commission upon request.
