registration number identifies an antenna structure and must be used on 
all filings related to the antenna structure. Several questions will be 
added to the engineering portion of the form to collection this 
information. The data on the form 350 is used to confirm that the 
station has been built to terms specified in the outstanding 
construction permit.
