[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

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.
