Administration (FAA) must register the structure with the Commission.
This includes those structures used as part of 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 also contains other
reporting, recordkeeping and third party notification requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and OMB approval. The
information is used by the Commission during investigations related to
air safety or radio frequency interference. A registration number is
issued to identify antenna structure owners in order to enforce the
Congressionally-mandated provisions related to the owners.
