Can't answer that one. I do recall that ALPA was quite upset because the FAA Part 77 specialist did the incorrect calculation, thus issuing a no hazard determination. A subsequent correct calculation showed it should have been a hazard determination. But, by the time the structure had been completed so the FAA just shrugged their collective shoulders. Such a sterling safety agency...not.
