Section 2. Notices
5-2-1. REQUIREMENTS
a. Requirements
for notifying the FAA of proposed construction or alteration are contained in
Sections 77.9 (see FIG 5-2-1,
FIG 5-2-2, FIG 5-2-3,
FIG 5-2-4, and FIG 5-2-5).
b. No notice is
required, as specified in Section 77.9(e), for certain equipment installations
“of a type approved by the Administrator" when the equipment is installed in
accordance with the established FAA siting criteria. Equipment installed in
compliance with the siting criteria without waivers and which do not affect
other runways do not have to be considered under Part 77 criteria.
c. Examples of
equipment not requiring notice are:
1. Wind
equipment (AWOS, ASOS, AWSS, etc.). Supplemental wind cones, wind turbines, and
meteorological towers are not exempt from notice.
2. Transmissometers
(Runway Visibility Value (RVV) and Runway Visual Range (RVR) equipment).
3. Instrument
Landing Systems (ILS).
4. Visual Glide
Slope Indicators (VGSI).
5-2-2. PROCESSING
a. Obstruction
Evaluation Group (OEG) personnel must administer aeronautical studies with the
coordinated assistance of Airports, Technical Operations Services, Frequency
Management, Flight Standards, Flight Procedures Team, Department of Defense, and
Department of Homeland Security representatives.
b. The
OEG must process notices received under the provisions of Sections 44718 and
Part 77 as OE cases. The exception to this is notices received under those
provisions that pertain to structures located on a public-use airport which must
be processed by the Airports Division as a nonrulemaking airport (NRA) case
(defined in Part 3, Airport Airspace Analysis, of this order).
c. If
notice is required by any other FAA regulation, the appropriate division must
process the notice under that regulation.
5-2-3. FAA FORMS
Standard FAA forms are established for use in
conducting aeronautical studies. The standard FAA forms are:
a. FAA FORM
7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration (OE notice).
b. FAA FORM
7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration (Supplemental Notice).
NOTE-
An electronic system to collect notice(s) of proposed construction or alteration
and actual construction is available online at https://oeaaa.faa.gov.

NOTICE REQUIREMENT RELATED TO 200 FEET IN HEIGHT
Notice of Construction
or Alteration

FIG 5-2-2
NOTICE REQUIREMENT RELATED TO AIRPORTS

NOTE:
Each airport must be available for
public use and listed in the Airport/Facility Directory or in either the
Alaska or Pacific Chart Supplement; under construction and the subject
of a notice or proposal on file with FAA, and except for DOD airports,
it is clearly indicated that airport will be available for public use or
for private use which has at least one FAA approved instrument approach
procedure, or operated by a Federal agency or the DOD. (Heliports
without specified boundaries and seaplane bases without marked sea lanes
are excluded.)

|
§77.9(b) - Any
construction or alteration that exceeds an imaginary surface extending
outward and upward at any of the following slopes:
(1) 100:1 for a
horizontal distance of 20,000 feet from the nearest point of the nearest
runway of each airport described in §77.9(d) with its longest runway
more than 3,200 feet in actual length, excluding heliports.
(2) 50:1 for a
horizontal distance of 10,000 feet from the nearest point of the nearest
runway of each airport described in §77.9(d) with its longest runway not
more than 3,200 feet in actual length, excluding heliports.
|
|
§77.9(d) - Any
construction or alteration on any of the following airports and
heliports:
(1) A public
use in the Airport/Facility Directory, Alaska Supplement, or Pacific
Chart Supplement of the U.S. Government Flight Information Publications;
(2) A military
airport under construction, or an airport under construction that will
be available for public use;
(3) An airport
operated by a Federal agency or the Department of Defense;
(4) An airport
or heliport with at least one FAA-approved instrument approach
procedure. At private use airports with an FAA-approved instrument
approach procedure, only the instrument approach procedure will be
considered.

Subpart B -
Notice of Construction or Alteration
§77.9(b) - Any construction or
alteration that exceeds an imaginary surface extending outward and
upward at any one of the following slopes:
(1) 25:1 for a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet from the nearest point
of the nearest landing and takeoff area of each heliport described in
paragraph d of this section.

NOTICE REQUIREMENT RELATED TO TRAVERSE WAYS
|
Subpart B
- Notice of Construction or Alteration
§77.9 - Construction or alteration
requiring notice. (c) Any highway, railroad, or other traverse way for
mobile objects, of a height which, if adjusted upward 17 feet for an
Interstate Highway that is part of the National System of Military and
Interstate Highways where overcrossings are designed for a minimum of
17 feet vertical distance, 15 feet for any other public roadway, 10 feet
or the height of the highest mobile object that would normally traverse
the road, whichever is greater, for a private road, 23 feet for a
railroad, and for a waterway or any other traverse way not previously
mentioned, an amount equal to the height of the highest mobile object
that would normally traverse it, would exceed a standard of paragraph
(a) or (b) of this section.
