No.  Just because the Federal government says you *may* do something,
does not imply that other levels of government must allow you to do
it.  However, in our system, some regulatory powers are reserved to
the Feds, so a locality must base its action on something that it has
the legal authority to regulate.

If the WKOX move had not involved substantial construction, the City
of Newton would not have had authority to deny permission for the
change.
