[[Page 73737]]

(16 CFR part 1204) establishes performance requirements for 
omnidirectional citizens band base station antennas to reduce 
unreasonable risks of death and injury that may result if an antenna 
contacts overhead power lines while being erected or removed from its 
site. The regulations implementing the standard (16 CFR part 1204, 
subpart B) require manufacturers, importers, and private labelers of 
antennas subject to the standard to test the antennas for compliance 
with the standard and to maintain records of that testing.
