USER NOTES:

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.

The Antenna Structure Registration Program is the process under which 
each antenna structure that requires FAA notification -- including new 
and existing structures -- must be registered with the FCC by its owner. 
The owner is the single point of contact for resolving antenna-related 
problems and is responsible for the maintenance of those structures 
requiring painting and/or lighting. Note that because the Antenna 
Structure Registration requirements only apply to those antenna 
structures that may create a hazard to air navigation (either by their 
height or proximity to an airport), the registration files do not contain 
a comprehensive record of all antenna structures.

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy
has not been verified by GeoPlan

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy
has not been verified by GeoPlan

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED
AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING,
MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Data originally released by the Federal Communications
Commission in June 2006.  When GeoPlan received 
the dataset it was in shapefile format. The original 
extent of the data included the entire United States.
Process Date: 20060915

Data was downloaded from Federal Communications Commission website in September 2006. GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process, included the following aspects: (1) Changed original dataset name from asr.shp to antreg.shp (2) Projected data to FGDL Albers. (3) Added the FGDLAQDATE field. (4) Added DESCRIPT item based on ENTITY Process Date: 20060916
