Temporary Antenna Notification
Temporary Antennas
The installation of temporary antennas has increased significantly with the use of cell phones and requires a different review process given the limited duration of their installation. Since there are several recurring events/festivals requiring the same antennas infrastructure every year, NCPC does not require the submission of temporary antennas that are installed for 90 days or less for large scale events such as the Smithsonian Folklife festival or a Presidential Inauguration. In lieu of a submission, NCPC requests notification of the proposed infrastructure and duration of installation. Agencies installing temporary antennas will need to meet all other regulations, such as the National Historic Preservation Act and FCC guidelines, as required. All other antenna installations for greater than 90 days will follow the permanent antenna process.
