The Commission released a Public Notice last Friday inviting comment on draft environmental notice requirements and interim procedures for the antenna structure registration (ASR) program. The draft rules are meant to bring awareness and full consideration to the environmental effects of proposed communications towers. Before adopting the procedures, which implements the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the commission must publish its draft procedures in the Federal Register for comment.
The deadline to submit comments will be April 24, 2011.

FCC: Workshop for Assessment of ASR program
The FCC announced yesterday that a public workshop will be held in Washington, DC, for the Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) of its Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) program. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) demands the Commission conduct the assessment of its ASR program's effect on the environment. The workshop being held April 1, 2011 at 9:30am Eastern Time will be a valuable experience for individuals responsible for tower construction. "At the workshop, the Commission will discuss the data sources, assumptions, and methodologies that it is using in developing the PEA, and it will accept comments from members of the public," according to the notice.
