Land Use Law and Regulation Affecting Telecom Providers and Local Communities

Pike & Fischer's Communications Environmental and Land Use Law Report - a newsletter and web reference information service - provides thorough coverage of the many legal and regulatory factors that affect the placement and siting of radio towers - including cellular telephones, public safety, radio and television, and microwave communications.

The regulations and requirements that tower owners, FCC licensees, and land owners must be aware of and comply with are varied and complex. They include:

Federal environmental requirements, incluiding,

• Wilderness areas and National Parks
• Wildlife protection, especially migratory birds
• Historic Preservation issues
• Indian Religious Sites and Tribal Consultation
• Flood Plains
• Wetland, Deforestation or Water Diversion
• Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
• Hazardous Materials

• State and Local Zoning and Land Use Regulation
• Access to Rights-of-Way, including railroads, municipal fees, easements
• Pole Attachments and Rooftop Antenna Siting
• FCC and FAA Antenna Structure, Lighting and Painting Requirements
• Tower Antenna and Safety, including OSHA requirements
• Public Safety Towers and Infrastructure
• Broadcast Towers and Infrastructure

Given these complicated and often conflicting requirements, Communications Environmental and Land Use Law Report is designed to 1) keep you well informed on new developments, and 2) provide a reference that gives you the ability to perform conclusive legal research on tower siting and related issues.

• A monthly newsletter delivered to you in both print by regular mail, and by PDF e-mail, and...
• Access to a password protected reference website that provides the full text of the primary statutes, regulations, agency pronouncements and court and agency decisions that govern this wide-ranging area of law.
