§  24.55   Antenna structures; air navigation safety.

   Licensees that own their antenna structures must not allow these
   antenna structures to become a hazard to air navigation. In general,
   antenna structure owners are responsible for registering antenna
   structures with the FCC if required by part 17 of this chapter, and for
   installing and maintaining any required marking and lighting. However,
   in the event of default of this responsibility by an antenna structure
   owner, each FCC permittee or licensee authorized to use an affected
   antenna structure will be held responsible by the FCC for ensuring that
   the antenna structure continues to meet the requirements of part 17 of
   this chapter. See § 17.6 of this chapter.

   (a) Marking and lighting. Antenna structures must be marked, lighted
   and maintained in accordance with part 17 of this chapter and all
   applicable rules and requirements of the Federal Aviation
   Administration.

   (b) Maintenance contracts. Antenna structure owners (or licensees and
   permittees, in the event of default by an antenna structure owner) may
   enter into contracts with other entities to monitor and carry out
   necessary maintenance of antenna structures. Antenna structure owners
   (or licensees and permittees, in the event of default by an antenna
   structure owner) that make such contractual arrangements continue to be
   responsible for the maintenance of antenna structures in regard to air
   navigation safety.
