14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–19 Edition) 

§ 77.37 

the Determination of No Hazard to Air 
Navigation. 

(b) A Determination of No Hazard to 

Air Navigation issued for those con-
struction or alteration proposals not 
requiring an FCC construction permit 
may be extended by the FAA one time 
for a period not to exceed 18 months. 

(c) A Determination of No Hazard to 

Air Navigation issued for a proposal re-
quiring an FCC construction permit 
may be granted extensions for up to 18 
months, provided that: 

(1) You submit evidence that an ap-

plication for a construction permit/li-
cense was filed with the FCC for the as-
sociated site within 6 months of 
issuance of the determination; and 

(2) You submit evidence that addi-

tional time is warranted because of 
FCC requirements; and 

(3) Where the FCC issues a construc-

tion permit, a final Determination of 
No Hazard to Air Navigation is effec-
tive until the date prescribed by the 
FCC for completion of the construc-
tion. If an extension of the original 
FCC completion date is needed, an ex-
tension of the FAA determination 
must be requested from the Obstruc-
tion Evaluation Service (OES). 

(4) If the Commission refuses to issue 

a construction permit, the final deter-
mination expires on the date of its re-
fusal. 

Subpart E—Petitions for 

Discretionary Review 

§ 77.37

General. 

(a) If you are the sponsor, provided a 

substantive aeronautical comment on a 
proposal in an aeronautical study, or 
have a substantive aeronautical com-
ment on the proposal but were not 
given an opportunity to state it, you 
may petition the FAA for a discre-
tionary review of a determination, re-
vision, or extension of a determination 
issued by the FAA. 

(b) You may not file a petition for 

discretionary review for a Determina-
tion of No Hazard that is issued for a 
temporary structure, marking and 
lighting recommendation, or when a 

proposed structure or alteration does 
not exceed obstruction standards con-
tained in subpart C of this part. 

§ 77.39

Contents of a petition. 

(a) You must file a petition for dis-

cretionary review in writing and it 
must be received by the FAA within 30 
days after the issuance of a determina-
tion under § 77.31, or a revision or ex-
tension of the determination under 
§ 77.35. 

(b) The petition must contain a full 

statement of the aeronautical basis on 
which the petition is made, and must 
include new information or facts not 
previously considered or presented dur-
ing the aeronautical study, including 
valid aeronautical reasons why the de-
termination, revisions, or extension 
made by the FAA should be reviewed. 

(c) In the event that the last day of 

the 30-day filing period falls on a week-
end or a day the Federal government is 
closed, the last day of the filing period 
is the next day that the government is 
open. 

(d) The FAA will inform the peti-

tioner or sponsor (if other than the pe-
titioner) and the FCC (whenever an 
FCC-related proposal is involved) of 
the filing of the petition and that the 
determination is not final pending dis-
position of the petition. 

§ 77.41

Discretionary review results. 

(a) If discretionary review is granted, 

the FAA will inform the petitioner and 
the sponsor (if other than the peti-
tioner) of the issues to be studied and 
reviewed. The review may include a re-
quest for comments and a review of all 
records from the initial aeronautical 
study. 

(b) If discretionary review is denied, 

the FAA will notify the petitioner and 
the sponsor (if other than the peti-
tioner), and the FCC, whenever a FCC- 
related proposal is involved, of the 
basis for the denial along with a state-
ment that the determination is final. 

(c) After concluding the discre-

tionary review process, the FAA will 
revise, affirm, or reverse the deter-
mination.
