Sec. 17.6  Responsibility of Commission licensees and permittees.

    (a) The antenna structure owner is responsible for maintaining the 
painting and lighting in accordance with this part. However, if a 
licensee or permittee authorized on an antenna structure is aware that 
the structure is not being maintained in accordance with the 
specifications set forth on the Antenna Structure Registration (FCC Form 
854R) or the requirements of this part, or otherwise has reason to 
question whether the antenna structure owner is carrying out its 
responsibility under this part, the licensee or permittee must take 
immediate steps to ensure that the antenna structure is brought into 
compliance and remains in compliance. The licensee must:
    (1) Immediately notify the structure owner;
    (2) Immediately notify the site management company (if applicable);
    (3) Immediately notify the Commission; and,
    (4) Make a diligent effort to immediately bring the structure into 
compliance.
    (b) In the event of non-compliance by the antenna structure owner, 
the Commission may require each licensee and permittee authorized on an 
antenna structure to maintain the structure, for an indefinite period, 
in accordance with the Antenna Structure Registration (FCC Form 854R) 
and the requirements of this part.

    (c) If the owner of the antenna structure cannot file FCC Form 854 
because it is subject to a denial of federal benefits under the Anti-
Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. 862, the first licensee authorized to 
locate on the structure must register the structure using FCC Form 854, 
and provide a copy of the Antenna Structure Registration (FCC Form 854R) 
to the owner. The owner remains responsible for providing a copy of FCC 
Form 854R to all tenant licensees on the structure and for posting the 
registration number as required by Sec. 17.4(g).
