Hi ,
Just to give you an update, the Senate version of HR 1 “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” released on Friday is different from the House version, so it's going back to the House -- that means to the Energy & Commerce Committee.
The new spectrum section in the Senate version is §40002.
To recap, HR 1 Section
40002 will give the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) spectrum auction authority. If Section 40002 is not deleted or amended, an unlimited number of antennas can be added to existing structures without notice or approval.
Here are actions to take today:
- Find Your U.S. Representative: Use the usa.gov website or call the congressional switchboard at 202.225.3121. If you are calling the U.S. Rep's office, ask for the name and email of the telecom staffer.
- Email the attached explanatory document to the U.S. Rep. Make sure to include your full name and
address in the email so they can see you are a constituent.
- Call your U.S. Rep: Tell the Rep's receptionist: "I am opposed to HR 1 Section 40002 because an unlimited number of antennas can be added to existing structures without notice or approval under Section 6409 exemption (47 USC 1455), while the FCC has ignored a court order to review its outdated emission limits for human safety."
