variety of purposes for subscribers, cable operators, franchising

operators to include the local franchising authority LFA) contact 
information in a subscriber's monthly billing statements; 47 CFR

LFA that it qualifies as a ``small cable operator;'' and 47 CFR 76.1404

FCC when a structure is dismantled. 47 CFR part 17 and sections 303(q) 
and 503(b)(5) of the Communications Act, as amended, authorize the FCC 
to require the painting and/or illumination of radio towers where there 
is a reasonable possibility that the antenna structure may cause a 
hazard to air navigation. The FCC sends antenna structure owner the FCC 
Form 854R to verify that the

owner's registration has been completed. The antenna owner must provide 
a copy of FCC Form 854R to each tenant of the antenna structure.
