                  antenna structure that requires 
                  notice of proposed construction to 
                  the Federal Aviation Administration 
                  must register the structure with the 
                  Commission.  This includes those 
                  structures used as part of stations 
                  licensed by the Commission for the 
                  transmission of radio energy, or to 
                  be used as part of a cable television 
                  head end system.'' Paragraph (2) of 
                  this section states that ``For an 
                  existing antenna structure that had 
                  been assigned painting or lighting
