  + 47 C.F.R. § 17.23:  "Unless otherwise specified by the Commission,
  each new or altered antenna structure must conform to the FAA's
  painting and lighting specifications set forth in the FAA's final
  determination of "no hazard" and the associated FAA study for that
  particular structure.  For purposes of this part, any specifications,
  standards, and general requirements set forth by the FAA in the

  are mandatory.  Additionally, each antenna structure must be painted
  and lighted in accordance with any painting and lighting requirements
  prescribed on the antenna structure's registration, or in accordance
  with any other specifications provided by the Commission."  According to
  the FCC antenna structure registration, the antenna structure requires
  painting and lighting as specified in FAA circular number 70/7460-1K,
