§ 77.35 

sight visibility, and physical or elec-
tromagnetic effects on air navigation, 
communication facilities, and other 
surveillance systems; 

(7) The aeronautical effects resulting 

from the cumulative impact of a pro-
posed construction or alteration of a 
structure when combined with the ef-
fects of other existing or proposed 
structures. 

(b) If you withdraw the proposed con-

struction or alteration or revise it so 
that it is no longer identified as an ob-
struction, or if no further aeronautical 
study is necessary, the FAA may ter-
minate the study. 

§ 77.31

Determinations. 

(a) The FAA will issue a determina-

tion stating whether the proposed con-
struction or alteration would be a haz-
ard to air navigation, and will advise 
all known interested persons. 

(b) The FAA will make determina-

tions based on the aeronautical study 
findings and will identify the fol-
lowing: 

(1) The effects on VFR/IFR aero-

nautical departure/arrival operations, 
air traffic procedures, minimum flight 
altitudes, and existing, planned, or pro-
posed airports listed in § 77.15(e) of 
which the FAA has received actual no-
tice prior to issuance of a final deter-
mination. 

(2) The extent of the physical and/or 

electromagnetic effect on the oper-
ation of existing or proposed air navi-
gation facilities, communication aids, 
or surveillance systems. 

(c) The FAA will issue a Determina-

tion of Hazard to Air Navigation when 
the aeronautical study concludes that 
the proposed construction or alteration 
will exceed an obstruction standard 
and would have a substantial aero-
nautical impact. 

(d) A Determination of No Hazard to 

Air Navigation will be issued when the 
aeronautical study concludes that the 
proposed construction or alteration 
will exceed an obstruction standard but 
would not have a substantial aero-
nautical impact to air navigation. A 
Determination of No Hazard to Air 
Navigation may include the following: 

(1) Conditional provisions of a deter-

mination. 

(2) Limitations necessary to mini-

mize potential problems, such as the 
use of temporary construction equip-
ment. 

(3) Supplemental notice require-

ments, when required. 

(4) Marking and lighting rec-

ommendations, as appropriate. 

(e) The FAA will issue a Determina-

tion of No Hazard to Air Navigation 
when a proposed structure does not ex-
ceed any of the obstruction standards 
and would not be a hazard to air navi-
gation. 

§ 77.33

Effective period of determina-

tions. 

(a) The effective date of a determina-

tion not subject to discretionary re-
view under 77.37(b) is the date of 
issuance. The effective date of all other 
determinations for a proposed or exist-
ing structure is 40 days from the date 
of issuance, provided a valid petition 
for review has not been received by the 
FAA. If a valid petition for review is 
filed, the determination will not be-
come final, pending disposition of the 
petition. 

(b) Unless extended, revised, or ter-

minated, each Determination of No 
Hazard to Air Navigation issued under 
this subpart expires 18 months after 
the effective date of the determination, 
or on the date the proposed construc-
tion or alteration is abandoned, which-
ever is earlier. 

(c) A Determination of Hazard to Air 

Navigation has no expiration date.

21, 2010, as amended by Amdt. 77–13–A, 76 FR 
2802, Jan. 18, 2011] 

§ 77.35

Extensions, terminations, revi-

sions and corrections. 

(a) You may petition the FAA official 

that issued the Determination of No 
Hazard to Air Navigation to revise or 
reconsider the determination based on 
new facts or to extend the effective pe-
riod of the determination, provided 
that: 

(1) Actual structural work of the pro-

posed construction or alteration, such 
as the laying of a foundation, but not 
including excavation, has not been 
started; and 

(2) The petition is submitted at least 

15 days before the expiration date of
