§ 1.30000   Purpose.

   This rule part protects the operations of AM broadcast stations from nearby
   tower construction that may distort the AM antenna patterns. All parties
   holding or applying for Commission authorizations that propose to construct
   or make a significant modification to an antenna tower or support structure
   in the immediate vicinity of an AM antenna, or propose to install an antenna
   on an AM tower, are responsible for completing the analysis and notice
   process described in this subpart, and for taking any measures necessary to
   correct disturbances of the AM radiation pattern, if such disturbances occur
   as a result of the tower construction or modification or as a result of the
   installation of an antenna on an AM tower. In the event these processes are
   not completed before an antenna structure is constructed, any holder of or
   applicant for a Commission authorization is responsible for completing these
   processes  before  locating  or  proposing to locate an antenna on the
   structure, as described in this subpart.
