    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 pursuant to FCC 14-117. 
The Commission initiated this proceeding to update and modernize the 
Commission's rules. The revised information collection requirements are 
as follows:
    Section 17.4 includes third party disclosure requirements. 
Specifically, Section 17.4 requires the owner of any 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) currently requires antenna structure owners 
to provide their tenants with copies of the antenna structure 
registration. This rule is being revised to provide that antenna 
structure owners may either provide a copy or a link to the FCC antenna 
structure Web site. The revised rules provide that this notification 
may be done electronically or via paper mail.
    Section 17.4(g) currently requires antenna structure owners to 
display the Antenna Structure Registration Number a conspicuous place 
that is readily visible near the base of the antenna. This rule is 
being revised to require 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 revised rule will 
require 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) currently requires that antenna 
structure owners promptly report outages of top steady burning lights 
or flashing antenna structure lights to the FAA. Upon receipt of the 
outage notification, the FAA will issue a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), 
which notifies aircraft of the outage. However, the FAA cancels all 
such notices within 15 days. Currently, the Commission's rules do not 
require antenna structure owners to provide any notification to the FAA 
regarding the status of repairs other than the initial outage report 
and the resumption of normal operation. Thus, if the repairs to an 
antenna structure's lights require more than 15 days, the FAA may not 
have any record of the outage from that 15th day to the resumption of 
normal operation. This rule is being revised to require antenna 
structure owners to provide the FAA with regular updates on the status 
of their repairs of lighting outages so that the FAA can maintain 
notifications to aircraft throughout the entire period of time the 
antenna structure remains unlit. Consistent with the current FAA 
requirements, if a lighting outage cannot be repaired within the FAA's 
original NOTAM period, the revised rule will require the antenna 
structure owner to notify the FAA of that fact. In addition, the 
revised rule provides that the antenna structure owner must provide any 
needed updates to its estimated return-to-service date to the FAA. The 
revised rule will also require antenna structure owners to continue to 
provide these updates to the FAA every NOTAM period until its lights 
are repaired.
    Section 17.49 currently requires antenna structure owners to 
maintain a record of observed or otherwise known extinguishments or 
improper functioning of structure lights, but does not specify the time 
period for which such records must be maintained. This rules is being 
revised to require 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.
