We find that Tidewater has not provided grounds upon which to overturn the Bureau's decision. II. BACKGROUND Section 17.51(a) states that all red obstruction lighting shall be exhibited from sunset to sunrise unless otherwise specified. The Forfeiture Order imposed a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $10,000 for failure to exhibit obstruction lighting on antenna structure # 1024387.

If such a requirement is implemented, should it be based on the geographic location of the antenna structure? Should weather conditions be considered when determining the reasonableness of a time period requirement? We seek comment on these proposals. 2. Elimination of Unnecessary Provisions Sections 17.45, 17.51, and 17.56(b) each set forth specific requirements for antenna structure owners to follow in exhibiting or maintaining lights. Section 17.45 of the rules specifies the type of temporary warning lights to be used during construction of antenna structures for which red obstruction lighting is required.

Recognizing the importance of interference-free transmission of other safety-related communications, however, OCAS proposes to exclude air traffic control, aeronautical enroute, and flight test frequencies from AVWS use. OCAS also requests the Commission to amend Part 87 to ``clarify that antenna structures equipped with or supported by AVWS stations are exempt from the continuous lighting requirements of Section 17.51 of the Commission's Rules.'' It argues that, in contrast to the continuous lighting of obstacles, deployment of AVWS will engender public benefits beyond those related to aviation - benefits including lower energy consumption, reduced light pollution, and increased protection of migratory bird populations.
