Abstract: The Commission is requesting OMB approval for this new information collection which contains disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping requirements under Part 17 of the Commission's rules. In order to clarify the obligations of antenna structure owners and conform the Commission's regulations to Commission and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) practice, the Commission proposes changes to certain sections of Part 17. These proposeed changes are intended both to promote aircraft navigation safety and to ease regulatory burdens by streamlining regulations and reducing confusion. The new information collection requirements contained in the proposed Part 17 amendments are necessary to implement a uniform registration process as well as safe and effective lighting procedures for owners of antenna structures. This information collection affects three rule sections which are sections 17.4(j), 17.48 and 17.49 of the Commission's rules. The Commission tentatively concludes that these collections are necessary to effectuate the above rule changes that clarify the obligations of antenna structure owners, ensure aircraft naviagation safety when lighting is observed to be malfunctioning or extinguished, and eliminate unnecessary postings.
