From the Paper:

"It is not a requirement for the Administrator to be notified when the construction or alteration "would be shielded by existing structures of a permanent and substantial character or by natural terrain or topographic features of equal or greater height, and would be located in the congested area of a city, town, or settlement where it is evident beyond all reasonable doubt that the structure so shielded will not adversely affect safety in air navigation." The Administrator does not have to be notified if an antenna structure is not more that 20 feet, unless it effects another antenna structure by increasing its height. Any air navigation facility, airport visual approach or landing aid, aircraft arresting device or meteorological device."
