     Subpart B_Federal Aviation Administration Notification Criteria

 

Sec. 17.17  Existing structures.



    (a) The requirements found in Sec. 17.23 relating to painting and 

lighting of antenna structures shall not apply to those structures 

authorized prior to July 1, 1996. Previously authorized structures may 

retain their present painting and lighting specifications, so long as 

the overall structure height or site coordinates do not change. The 

Antenna Structure Registration requirements found in Sec. 17.5, 

however, shall apply to all antenna structures that have been assigned 

painting or lighting requirements by the Commission, regardless of prior 

authorization.

    (b) No change in any of these criteria or relocation of airports 

shall at any time impose a new restriction upon any then existing or 

authorized antenna structure or structures.
