[TowerTalk] New FAA regulations affecting towers

[Mitch]

All, 

                I haven't seen anything on the reflector yet in regards to
the newly signed into law aviation bill HR-636.  H.R.636 - Federal Aviation
Administration Reauthorization Act of 2016, which was signed into law by the
President on July 15 2016 has some new language that affects towers over
50ft and less than 200ft in height. Looks like some of us (possibly many)
may have to come into compliance with the new regulations (when they are
developed) in regards to marking our towers. I'm in the process of erecting
my 75ft crankup, and the new law may well have a negative impact on me. At
this point, I think I am exempt, but not sure. Anyway, I have included a
link to the bill for you to read for yourself. Just for a work search on the
document for the word "tower" to take you to the pertinent section.
