General Instructions

Purpose of form

This FCC form is to be used to register structures used for wire or radio communication service in any area where radio services are regulated by the Commission; to make changes to existing registered structures or pending applications; or to notify the Commission of the completion of construction or dismantlement of structures, as required by Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Part 17 (FCC Rules Part 17). Note: This is not an application for authorization to build a radio facility or transmit from it.

Who Must File FCC Form 854 and When

Registration with the Commission is required before any construction or alteration of an antenna structure, which requires notification to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Prior to completing registration with the Commission, an antenna structure owner (or tenant licensee in certain cases where the owner is unable to register see - Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Part 17.4(e)) must have notified the FAA (via FAA Form 7460-1) and received a final determination of 'no hazard' from the FAA.

Most FCC Form 854 applications for new antenna structures, and some applications for changes to existing antenna structures, require environmental notification before registration can be granted. See Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Section 17.4(c). For purposes of completing environmental notification, FCC Form 854 may be initially filed prior to notifying the FAA and receiving a determination of no hazard. However, the FAA process must be completed before registration can be granted.

FCC Form 854 must also be filed to notify the Commission of the completion of construction of a registered antenna structure, and to notify the Commission of changes to an antenna structure registration or application. A separate FCC Form 854 must be filed to register each antenna structure or each tower of an array. FCC Form 854, in conjunction with Schedule A, may be filed to notify the Commission of changes that affect multiple antenna structure registrations and applications in exactly the same way.

Notification to the FAA (as prescribed in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Part 17.7) and, thus, registration with the Commission is required for any of the following:

1. Any construction or alteration that is more than 60.96 meters (200 feet) in height above ground level at its site.

2. Any construction or alteration that exceeds an imaginary surface extending outward and upward at one of the following slopes:

1. 100 to 1 for a horizontal distance of 6.10 kilometers (20,000 feet) from the nearest point of the nearest runway of each airport as specified in paragraph 3(a, b, c and d) below with its longest runway more than 0.98 kilometers (3,200 feet) in actual length, excluding heliports.

2. 50 to 1 for a horizontal distance of 3.05 kilometers (10,000 feet) from the nearest point of the nearest runway of each airport as specified in paragraph 3(a, b, c, and d) below with its longest runway no more than 0.98 kilometers (3,200 feet) in actual length, excluding heliports.

3. 25 to 1 for a horizontal distance of 1.52 kilometers (5,000 feet) from the nearest point of the nearest landing and takeoff area of each heliport specified in paragraph 3(a, b, c, and d) below.

NOTE: Applicants can access the FCC's TOWAIR program via the Antenna Homepage on the Internet (http://wireless.fcc.gov/antenna) for assistance in determining if a proposed construction or alteration meets the above criteria.

3. Any construction of an antenna structure (or any alteration of an antenna structure that would increase its height) on any of the following airports (including heliports):

1. A public use airport listed in the Airport/Facility Directory, Alaska Supplement, or Pacific Chart Supplement of the

U.S. Government Flight Information Publications;

2. A military airport under construction or an airport under construction that will be available for public use.

3. An airport operated by a Federal agency or the Department of Defense (DOD).

4. An airport or heliport with at least one FAA-approved instrument approach procedure.

Registration with the FCC is not required in the above circumstances if construction or alteration meets one of the following criteria as identified in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Part 17.14:

1. 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 the 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.

2. Any antenna structure of 6.10 meters (20 feet) or less in height except one that would increase the height of another antenna structure.

3. Any air navigation facility, airport visual approach or landing aid, aircraft arresting device, or meteorological device of a type approved by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, the location and height of which is fixed by its functional purpose.

Main Form - Specific Instructions

Purpose of Application

ITEM 1 - Enter the appropriate two-letter purpose code in the brackets provided. Enter only one code.

NE = New Antenna Structure Registration. Enter NE in the brackets to indicate that this is an application to register an antenna structure that has not been registered. New Antenna Structure Registrations ordinarily require environmental notice. See instructions for Item 47.

RE = Replacement Antenna Structure Registration. Enter RE in the brackets to indicate that this is an application to replace an existing antenna structure at the same geographic location, provided the new structure will not use lights if the previous structure was unlighted, the new structure will not use a less preferred FAA Lighting Style as defined in 47 C.F.R. § 17.4(c)(1)(iii), there will be no substantial increase in size as defined in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Appendix B, § I(C)(1)-(3), and there will be no construction or excavation more than 30 feet beyond the existing antenna structure property. An antenna structure meeting these criteria does not require environmental notice. An antenna structure that does not meet these criteria, or requires an Environmental Assessment (EA), is considered a New Antenna Structure Registration (NE).

Enter the seven-digit antenna structure registration number for the existing antenna structure in Item 2A.

Note: A substantial increase in size occurs if: (1) the mounting of the proposed antenna on the tower would increase the existing height of the tower by more than 10%, or by the height of one additional antenna array with separation from the nearest existing antenna not to exceed twenty feet, whichever is greater, except that the mounting of the proposed antenna may exceed these size limits if necessary to avoid interference with existing antennas; or (2) the mounting of the proposed antenna would involve the installation of more than the standard number of new equipment cabinets for the technology involved, not to exceed four, or more than one new equipment shelter; or (3) the mounting of the proposed antenna would involve adding an appurtenance to the body of the tower that would protrude from the edge of the tower more than twenty feet, or more than the width of the tower structure at the level of the appurtenance, whichever is greater, except that the mounting of the proposed antenna may exceed these size limits if necessary to shelter the antenna from inclement weather or to connect the antenna to the tower via cable. See Nationwide Agreement for the Collocation of Wireless Antennas, 47 C.F.R. Part 1, App. B, § I.C.

Changes in longitude or latitude of less than one second do not require a new aeronautical study with an FAA determination. See In the Matter of Streamlining the Commission’s Antenna Structure Clearance Procedure, Report and Order, WT Docket No. 95-5, 11 FCC Rcd 4272, 4287, ¶ 35 (1995). Consequently, a replacement tower located less than one second longitude and latitude from an existing tower is considered to be at the same location. However, any change of one foot or more in tower height requires a new FAA Determination of No Hazard.

MD = Modification of Registered Antenna Structure. Enter MD in the brackets to indicate that this is an application to change antenna structure information for a structure, which has already been registered with the Commission. Enter the seven-digit antenna structure registration number in Item 2A. Enter the date the antenna structure was constructed in Item 2C. A modification can be filed only if the antenna structure is constructed (i.e., you have previously filed a notification of construction). A modification may require environmental notice. See instructions for Item 47.

CA = Cancel Registration. Enter CA in the brackets to cancel your registered, but not constructed, (project abandoned) antenna structure. Provide the seven-digit antenna structure registration number in Item 2A or, if you are canceling multiple registrations for unconstructed antenna structures, provide the antenna structure registration numbers on FCC Form 854, Schedule A. You may only cancel a registration for an antenna structure that has not been constructed. Canceling a registration does not require environmental notice.

AU = Administrative Update. To request a change of any administrative data on an antenna structure registration. Enter AU in the brackets to request changes to the following: Changes in antenna structure owner's name (without a change in ownership) address, phone number, E- mail, or contact information. Provide the seven-digit antenna structure registration number in Item 2A or, if you are requesting an administrative update to more than one registration, provide the antenna structure registration numbers on FCC Form 854, Schedule A. An administrative update does not require environmental notice.

Dl = Notification of Antenna Structure Dismantlement. Enter Dl in the brackets to indicate that this is an application to notify the Commission that the constructed antenna structure no longer exists. This could be the result of the owner dismantling the structure, natural disaster, erosion, etc. Enter the date the structure was dismantled or destroyed in Item 2D and provide the seven-digit antenna structure registration number in Item 2A. A notification of dismantlement does not require environmental notice.

WD = Withdraw Pending Application. Enter WD in the brackets to indicate that this is a request to withdraw a previously filed, currently pending application. Provide the application file number in Item 2B or, if you are withdrawing multiple pending applications, provide the file numbers on FCC Form 854, Schedule A. Withdrawing a pending application does not require environmental notice.

AM = Amend Pending Application. Enter AM in the brackets to indicate that this is a request to amend a previously filed, currently pending application. Provide the file number of the application being amended in Item 2B. Amending a pending application may require environmental notice. See instructions for Item 47.

NT = Required Construction/Alteration Notification. Enter NT in the brackets to notify the Commission that the construction/alteration has been completed as registered. Provide the seven-digit antenna structure registration number in Item 2A and enter the date of construction or alteration in Item 2C. Notification of construction or alteration does not require environmental notice.

DU = Request for Duplicate Registration. Enter DU in the brackets to request a duplicate of your antenna structure registration. Provide the seven-digit antenna structure registration number in Item 2A or, if you are requesting duplicates of more than one registration, provide the antenna structure registration numbers on FCC Form 854, Schedule A. A request for duplicate registration does not require environmental notice.

OC = Ownership Change. Enter OC in the brackets to indicate that this is an application to notify the Commission of a change in ownership for a registered antenna structure. Provide the seven-digit antenna structure registration number in Item 2A or, if you are requesting an ownership change to more than one registration, provide the antenna structure registration numbers on FCC Form 854, Schedule A. Note: For an ownership change, the assignee (i.e., the entity acquiring ownership of the structure) must provide the new ownership information and sign the form at Items 52-55. The assignor (i.e., the entity to whom the structure is currently registered) must provide an FRN in Item 5 and fill in and sign the form at Items 56-59. A change in ownership does not require environmental notice.

ITEM 2A – If purpose code is RE, MD, CA, AU, DI, NT, DU, or OC, enter the Antenna Structure Registration Number that this application pertains to.

If applying for purpose code RE, enter the Antenna Structure Registration Number of the tower this application is replacing.

1 foot = 0.3048 meters (Example: 350 feet x 0.3048 = 106.68 meters. Round to 106.7.)

1 mile = 1.6093 kilometers (Example: 5 miles x 1.6093 = 8.0465 kilometers. Round to 8.0.)

ITEM 35 - Enter in meters rounded to the nearest tenth, the elevation above mean sea level of the ground at the antenna structure site. This may be obtained from the FAA Final Determination. Be sure to convert feet to meters and round to the nearest tenth. Refer to letter 'a' of the antenna structure examples below.

ITEM 36 -Enter the overall height above ground level (AGL) in meters rounded to the nearest tenth, of the entire antenna structure to the highest point, INCLUDING any appurtenances. You must include antennas, dishes, and obstruction lighting. Refer to letter 'c' of the

antenna structure examples below. This may be obtained from the FAA Final Determination. Be sure to convert feet to meters and round to the nearest tenth.

ITEM 37 - Enter the overall height in meters above mean sea level (AMSL) rounded to the nearest tenth. This will be the total of Items 35 and 36. This may be obtained from the FAA Final Determination. Be sure to convert feet to meters and round to the nearest tenth.

ITEM 38 - Enter the height above ground in meters rounded to the nearest tenth, to the highest point of the supporting structure only (WITHOUT appurtenances). Be sure to convert feet to meters and round to the nearest tenth. If your antenna structure consists of a building/tower combination, include any elevator shaft, flagpole, or penthouse in the overall structure height, but not the antenna, tower, pole or mast. If your antenna structure is a tower only, include the height of the tower but not the antenna. Refer to letter 'b' of the antenna structure examples below.

Antenna Structure Examples

ITEM 39 -Enter the code from the following valid structure types for the type of supporting structure on which the antenna is or will be mounted. Refer to letter 'b' of the antenna structure examples in these instructions:

ITEMS 43-44 - Provide the FAA Study Number and Issue Date of the most current FAA Determination of 'No Hazard' issued for this structure. In order to initiate environmental notification, you may submit FCC Form 854 for new proposals or alterations to existing structures prior to receiving an FAA Final Determination. However, FCC Form 854 cannot be completed and registration cannot be granted without the FAA Final Determination. Do not include a copy of the Determination.

Environmental Compliance

Item 45 – If the applicant believes an emergency situation exists such that it should be granted a waiver from the requirement to complete the Environmental Compliance process prior to the proposed antenna structure's construction, the applicant should answer 'Y' here, attach its justification for the requested waiver, and skip Questions 46-49. The Commission will review the application to determine whether to grant the waiver.

ITEM 46A – Indicate whether or not another federal agency is taking responsibility for environmental review of this structure.

ITEM 46B – If Item 46A is answered “Yes”, indicate why another federal agency has taken responsibility for the environmental review of this structure:

1. The structure is located on Federal Land and the landholding agency is taking responsibility for the environmental review.

2. Another federal agency has agreed with the FCC in writing to take responsibility for the environmental review.

ITEM 46C – Enter the name of the federal agency taking responsibility for the environmental review.

If Item 46A is answered “Yes,” skip Item 47. answer “Yes” to Item 48, and attach either the Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact, or the Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision issued by the other federal agency.

ITEM 47 – If environmental notice is required, see Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Section 17.4(c), provide the date you are requesting the FCC to post the application on its website. The date selected may not be a weekend or federal holiday. The applicant shall provide local notice in accordance with 47 C.F.R. § 17.4(c)(3) on or before this date. If local notice is provided after this date, the applicant should amend its application to request a new national notice date that is at least one business day after the date the amendment is submitted. The website posting will be extended or restarted so that it will run 30 days from the new national notice date.

Environmental notice is required in any of the following circumstances:

1. The purpose code is NE, unless another federal agency is taking responsibility for environmental review.

2. The purpose code is MD, and an antenna is being placed on an existing tower or non-tower structure and the placement of the antenna involves a substantial increase in size or excavation more than 30 feet beyond the property. Substantial increase in size is defined in the definition of Replacement Tower in Item 1, above.

3. The purpose code is MD, and either lighting is being added to a previously unlit tower, or the existing tower lighting is being modified from a more preferred to a less preferred lighting configuration. The sequence of most preferred to least preferred lighting can be found at 47 C.F.R. § 17.4(c)(1)(iii).

4. The purpose code is AM and the filing involves any change in structure, lighting, or location, other than a reduction in height, the removal of proposed lighting, or a change to a more preferred lighting configuration as described at 47 C.F.R. § 17.4(c)(1)(iii). In such instances, a new local notice containing the amended description of the tower is required.

5. The purpose code is AM, and the filing is being made to add an Environmental Assessment. In such instances, no new local notice is required.

ITEM 48 – This item must be answered, either ‘Y’ or ‘N.’ An Environmental Assessment (EA) must be submitted if the applicant cannot conclude that a Commission grant of this application would not have a significant environmental impact. Applicants should refer to Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Section 1.1307(a), (b), and (d), which identify situations in which an EA must be filed. In short, an applicant must submit an EA if any of the following are proposed:

1. The facility is to be located in an officially designated wilderness area or in an officially designated wildlife preserve. NOTE: Facilities in these categories are generally on federal land and require the relevant land management agency’s authorization.

2. The facilities are to be located in a floodplain and will NOT be placed at least one foot above the base flood elevation of the floodplain.

3. The facility’s construction may involve significant change in surface features (e.g., wetland fill, deforestation, or water diversion). NOTE: Permits may be required.

4. The facility’s installation may have an impact on threatened or endangered species, or their designated critical habitats. An EA is also required if the facility would be likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a proposed endangered or threatened species or to destroy or adversely modify a proposed critical habitat. NOTE: Consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may be required.

5. The facility may have an impact on districts, sites, buildings, structures or objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, or culture, that are listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. NOTE: Applicants shall determine whether such an impact may exist by following the procedures in the FCC’s Nationwide Programmatic Agreements, 47 C.F.R. Part 1, Appendices B and C.

6. The facility may impact Indian religious sites.

7. The antenna structure would be equipped with high intensity white lights and would be located in a residential neighborhood (as defined by the applicable zoning law).

8. The facility, when operational, would cause human exposure to levels of radiofrequency radiation in excess of Commission limits.

9. The antenna structure’s height would exceed 450 feet Above Ground Level.

If any of these circumstances are present, the applicant must answer Yes (‘Y’) to Item 48 and submit an EA with the application. The applicant should refer to Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Section 1.1311 for information on what an EA should contain.

If none of the circumstances are present, the applicant should answer No (‘N’) to Item 48. If it is later determined that an EA is necessary, the applicant may amend the application to add an EA, but doing so will trigger new national notice requirements.
