Sec. 22.371 Disturbance of AM broadcast station antenna patterns.  Public Mobile Service licensees that construct or modify towers in the immediate vicinity of AM broadcast stations are responsible for

measures necessary to correct disturbance of the AM station antenna pattern which causes operation

 outside of the radiation parameters specified by the FCC for the AM station, if the disturbance occurred as

a result of such construction or modification.(a) Non-directional AM stations. If tower construction or

modification is planned within 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) of a non-directional AM broadcast station tower, the

 Public Mobile Service licensee must notify the licensee of the AM broadcast station in advance

of the planned construction or modification. Measurements must be made to determine whether the

 construction or modification affected the AM station antenna pattern. The Public Mobile Service licensee is

responsible for the installation and continued maintenance of any detuning apparatus necessary to restore

proper non-directional performance of the AM station tower.(b) Directional AM stations. If tower construction

or modification is planned within 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) of a directional AM broadcast station array, the

Public Mobile Service licensee must notify the licensee the AM broadcast station in advance of the planned

construction or modification. Measurements must be made to determine whether the construction or

 modification affected the AM station antenna pattern. The Public Mobile Service licensee is responsible for

the installation and continued maintenance of any detuning apparatus necessary to restore proper

 performance of the AM station array.
