NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OR ALTERATION
§77.13 Construction or alteration requiring notice.

§77.15 Construction or alteration not requiring notice.

(a) Except as provided in §77.15, each sponsor who proposes any of the
following construction or alteration shall notify the Administrator in the form
and manner prescribed in §77.17.

No person is required to notify the Administrator for any of the following
construction or alteration:
(a) Any object that would be shielded by existing structures of a permanent and
substantial character or by natural terrain or topographic features of equal or
greater height, and would be located in the congested area of a city, town, or
settlement where it is evident beyond all reasonable doubt that the structure so
shielded will not adversely affect safety in air navigation.
(b) Any antenna structure of 20 feet or less in height except one that would
increase the height of another antenna structure.
(c) Any air navigation facility, airport visual approach or landing air, aircraft
arresting device, or meteorological device, of a type approved by the
Administrator, or an appropriate military service on military airports, the location
and height of which is fixed by its functional purpose.
(d) Any construction or alteration for which notice is required by any other FAA
regulation.

(1) Any construction or alteration of more than 200 feet in height above the
ground level at its site.
(2) Any construction or alteration of greater height than imaginary surface
extending outward and upward at one of the following slopes:
(i) 1 00 to 1 for horizontal distance of 20,000 feet from the nearest point of
the nearest runway of each airport specified in paragraph (a)(5) or this
section with at least one runway more than 3,200 feet in actual length,
excluding heliports.
(ii) 50 to 1 for horizontal distance of 10,000 feet from the nearest point of
the nearest runway of each airport specified in paragraph (a)(5) of this
section with its longest runway no more than 3,200 feet in actual length,
excluding heliports.
(iii) 25 to 1 for a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet from the nearest point of
the nearest landing and takeoff area of each heliport specified in paragraph
(a)(5) of this section.
(3) Any highway, railroad, or other traverse way for mobile objects, of a
height which, if adjusted upward 17 feet for an Interstate Highway that is part
of the National System of Military and Interstate Highways where
overcrossings are designed for a minimum of 17 feet vertical distance, 16
feet for any other public roadway, 10 feet or the height of the highest mobile
object that would normally traverse the road, whichever is greater, for a
private road, 23 feet for a railroad, and for a waterway or any other traverse
way not previously mentioned, an amount equal to the height of the highest
mobile object that would normally traverse it, would exceed a standard of
paragraph (a)(1) or (2) of this section.

§77.17 Form and time of notice
(a) Each person who is required to notify the Administrator under §77.13 (a)
shall send one executed form set of FAA Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed
Construction or Alteration, to the Manager, Air Traffic Division, FAA Regional
Office having jurisdiction over the area within which the construction or alteration
will be located. Copies of FAA Form 7460-1 may be obtained from the
headquarters of the Federal Aviation Administration and the regional offices.
(b) The notice required under §77.13 (a)(1) through (4) must be submitted at
least 30 days before the earlier of the following dates –
(1) The date the proposed construction or alteration is to begin.
(2) The date an application for a construction permit is to be filed.

(4) When requested by the FAA, any construction or alteration that would
be in an instrument approach area (defined in the FAA standards governing
instrument approach procedures) and available information indicates it might
exceed a standard of Subpart C of this part.
(5) Any construction or alteration on any of the following airports (including
heliports):
(i) An airport that is available for public use and is listed in the Airport
Directory of the current Airman’s Information Manual or in either the Alaska
or Pacific Airman’s Guide and Chart Supplement.
(ii) An airport under construction, that is the subject of a notice or proposal
on file with the Federal Aviation Administration, and except for military
airports, it is clearly indicated that airport will be available for public use.
(iii) An airport that is operated by an armed force of the United States.
(b) Each sponsor who proposes construction or alteration that is the subject
of a notice under paragraph (a) of this section and is advised by an FAA
regional office that a supplemental notice is required shall submit that notice
on a prescribed form to be received by the FAA regional office at least 48
hours before the start of construction or alteration.
(c) Each sponsor who undertakes construction or alteration that is the subject
of a notice under paragraph (a) of this section shall, within 5 days after that
construction or alteration reaches its greatest height, submit a supplemental
notice on a prescribed form to the FAA regional office having jurisdiction over
the region involved, if –
(1) The construction or alteration is more than 200 feet above the surface
level of its site; or
(2) An FAA regional office advises him that submission of the form is
required.

However, a notice relating to proposed construction or alteration that is subject
to the licensing requirements of the Federal Communications Act may be sent to
the FAA at the same time the application for construction is filed with the Federal
Communications Commission, or at any time before that filing.
(c) A proposed structure or an alteration to an existing structure that exceeds
2,000 feet in height above the ground will be presumed to be a hazard to air
navigation and to result in an inefficient utilization of airspace and the applicant
has the burden of overcoming that presumption. Each notice submitted under
the pertinent provisions of this part 77 proposing a structure in excess of 2,000
feet above ground, or an alteration that will make an existing structure exceed
that height, must contain a detailed showing, directed to meeting this burden.
Only in exceptional cases, where the FAA concludes that a clear and compelling
showing has been made that it would not result in an inefficient utilization of the
airspace and would not result in a hazard to air navigation, will a determination
of no hazard be issued.
(d) In the case of an emergency involving essential public services, public
health, or public safety that required immediate construction or alteration, the 30
day requirement in paragraph (b) of this section does not apply and the notice
may be sent by telephone, telegraph, or other expeditious means, with an
executed FAA Form 7460-1 submitted within five (5) days thereafter. Outside
normal business hours, emergency notices by telephone or telegraph may be
submitted to the nearest FAA Flight Service Station.
(e) Each person who is required to notify the Administrator by paragraph (b) or
(c) of §77.13, or both shall send an executed copy of FAA Form 7460-2, Notice
of Actual Construction or Alteration, to the Manager, Air Traffic Division, FAA
Regional Office having jurisdiction over the area involved.

ITEM #1. Please include the name, address and phone number of a personal contact point as well as the company name.
ITEM #2. Please include the name, address and phone number of a personal contact point as well as the company name.
ITEM #3. New Construction would be a structure that has not yet been built.
Alteration is a change to an existing structure such as the addition of a side mounted antenna, a change to the marking and lighting, a
change to power and/or frequency, or a change to the height. The nature of the alteration shall be included in ITEM #21 “Complete
Description of Proposal”.
Existing would be a correction to the latitude and/or longitude, a correction to the height, or if filing on an existing structure which has never
been studied by the FAA. The reason for the notice shall be included in ITEM #21 “Complete Description of Proposal”.
ITEM #4. If Permanent, so indicate. If Temporary, such as a crane or drilling derrick, enter the estimated length of time the temporary
structure will be up.
ITEM #5. Enter the date that construction is expected to start and the date that construction should be completed.
ITEM #6. Please indicate the type of structure. DO NOT LEAVE BLANK.
ITEM #7. In the event that obstruction marking and lighting is required, please indicate type desired. If no preference, check “other” and
indicate “no preference” DO NOT LEAVE BLANK. NOTE: High Intensity lighting shall be used only for structures over 500’ AGL. In the
absence of high intensity lighting for structures over 500’ AGL, marking is also required.
ITEM #8. If this is an existing tower that has been registered with the FCC, enter the FCC Antenna Structure Registration number here.
ITEM #9 and #10. Latitude and longitude must be geographic coordinates, accurate to within the nearest second or to the nearest
hundredth of a second if known. Latitude and longitude derived solely from a hand-held GPS instrument is NOT acceptable. A
hand-held GPS is only accurate to within 100 meters (328 feet) 95 percent of the time. This data, when plotted, should match the site
depiction submitted under ITEM #20.
ITEM #11. NAD 83 is preferred; however, latitude and longitude may be submitted in NAD 27. Also, in some geographic areas where NAD
27 and NAD 83 are not available other datums may be used. It is important to know which datum is used. DO NOT LEAVE BLANK.
ITEM #12. Enter the name of the nearest city and state to the site. If the structure is or will be in a city, enter the name of that city and state.
ITEM #13. Enter the full name of the nearest public-use (not private-use) airport or heliport or military airport or heliport to the site.
ITEM #14. Enter the distance from the airport or heliport listed in #13 to the structure.
ITEM #15. Enter the direction from the airport or heliport listed in #13 to the structure.
ITEM #16. Enter the site elevation above mean sea level and expressed in whole feet rounded to the nearest foot (e.g. 17’3” rounds to 17’,
17’6” rounds to 18’). This data should match the ground contour elevations for site depiction submitted under ITEM #20.
ITEM #17. Enter the total structure height above ground level in whole feet rounded to the next highest foot (e.g. 17’3” rounds to 18’).
The total structure height shall include anything mounted on top of the structure, such as antennas, obstruction lights, lightning
rods, etc.
ITEM #18. Enter the overall height above mean sea level and expressed in whole feet. This will be the total of ITEM #16 + ITEM #17.
ITEM #19. If an FAA aeronautical study was previously conducted, enter the previous study number.
ITEM #20. Enter the relationship of the structure to roads, airports, prominent terrain, existing structures, etc. Attach an 8-1/2” x 11”
non-reduced copy of the appropriate 7.5 minute U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Quadrangle Map MARKED WITH A PRECISE INDICATION
OF THE SITE LOCATION. To obtain maps, contact USGC at 1-800-435-7627 or via internet at “http://mapping.usgs.gov”. If available,
attach a copy of a documented site survey with the surveyor’s certification stating the amount of vertical and horizontal accuracy in feet.
ITEM #21.
• For transmitting stations, include maximum effective radiated power (ERP) and all frequencies.
• For antennas, include the type of antenna and center of radiation (Attach the antenna pattern, if available).
