The identification characteristics required must conform to federal laws and regulations. Notwithstanding any federal guidelines, and on consideration of the relevant facts, a permit may require lighting to be operational during daylight hours.

(3) If ordered by the commission, the owner of a nonconforming structure that is permanently out of service or partially dismantled, destroyed, deteriorated, or decayed shall demolish or remove the structure.
(4) Failure to maintain obstruction lights in an operable condition is a violation of this act.
