This includes those structures used as part of stations licensed by the 
Commission for the transmission of radio energy, or to be used as part 
of a cable television head end system. If a Federal Government antenna 
structure is to be used by a Commission licensee, the structure must be 
registered with the Commission. Section 17.4 also contains other 
reporting, recordkeeping and third party notification requirements 
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and OMB approval. The 
information is used by the Commission during investigations related to 
air safety or radio frequency interference. A registration number is 
issued to identify antenna structure owners in order to enforce the 
Congressionally-mandated provisions related to the owners.
