**[Docket No: FAA 2010–1326]**

**Marking Meteorological Evaluation Towers** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Proposed revision to Advisory Circular; request for comments.

**SUMMARY :**  The FAA is considering revising its current Advisory Circular on Obstruction Marking and Lighting to include guidance for Meteorological Evaluation Towers (METs). These towers are erected in remote and rural areas, often are less than 200 feet above ground level (AGL), and fall outside of FAA regulations governing tall structures and their impact on navigable airspace. The proposed marking guidance would enhance the conspicuity of the towers and address the safety related concerns of low level agricultural operations. The FAA seeks comment on the proposed guidance.

**DATES :**  Comments must be received on or before February 4, 2011.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may send comments identified by docket number FAA 2010– 1326 using any of the following methods:

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov and follow the online instructions for sending your comments electronically.

• Mail: Send Comments to Docket Operations, M–30; U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., West Building Ground Floor, Room W12–140, West Building Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590–
0001.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

14 CFR Part 77

Title 49 of the United States Code (U.S.C.), section 40103(a)(1), provides that the ‘‘United States Government has exclusive sovereignty of airspace of the United States. ’’ Paragraph (b) of this section directs the FAA to ‘‘develop plans and policy for the use of the navigable airspace and assign by regulation or order the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of the airspace. ’’

In recognition of the threat tall structures can pose to aviation safety, 49 U.S.C. 44718 directed the FAA to promulgate regulations requiring notice of proposed structures or alterations of existing structures when the notice will promote safety in air commerce and the efficient use and preservation of the navigable airspace and of airport traffic capacity at public-use airports. (14 CFR part 77.) The agency was further directed to study such structures and determine the extent of any adverse impacts on the safe and efficient use of the airspace, facilities or equipment.
