I am a constituent.  Your Subcommittee will be holding a hearing with the FCC on Tuesday, July 9^th.  Would the Representative please consider the below information and ask the FCC about the following:

Please ask the FCC why it has ignored since 2021 the DC Circuit Court of Appeals remand order to re-evaluate its wireless radiation exposure guidelines based on their docket submission of 11,000 pages of scientific evidence of biological harm to humans?  Americans might protest less against forced deployment of wireless antennas outside their bedrooms, offices, children's classrooms and local parks - if they knew the government no longer was ignoring safety or shielding Telecom from liability based on remanded limits.  The current wireless safety guidelines are based on 11 monkeys and 12 rats exposed for less than one hour in the 1980s.  The Telecommunications Act of 1996 does not allow for legal remedies of harm so long as Telecom is operating within the FCC’s guidelines, even if the harm is severe or fatal.  The Act shields Telecom from liability when Telecom should be competing on safety.  

Please ask the FCC the following questions:

1. What is the status of FCC’s compliance with the DC Circuit Court of Appeals remand order of 2021 for the FCC to review the up-to-date scientific evidence in its docket on harm, including long-term exposure and exposure to children?
2. We’ve had constituents write in and say that the current wireless safety standards are based on 11 monkeys and 12 rats exposed for less than one hour in the 1980s.  Why wouldn’t the FCC want to review the up-to-date evidence so that it can reassure the public that the technology is it is rolling out (e.g., 5G) is safe for children and families?
