Do Not Allow Adoption of the FCC’s Proposed
Rules in Docket 25-276
I strongly oppose the FCC’s proposed rules in Docket 25-276, misleadingly titled “Build America: Eliminating Barriers to Wireless Deployments.” This initiative is not about “building America” — it is about stripping away local rights, eliminating public participation, and giving the wireless industry near-total control over the placement of cell towers.
If adopted, these rules would:
• Force automatic approval of towers after 150 days, even if there is strong community opposition.
• Block local governments from requiring independent experts to verify FCC radiation compliance, leaving the industry to self-certify.
• Eliminate vital community protections by
prohibiting consideration of aesthetics, property values, and historic preservation.
• Undermine property rights by driving down home values without recourse or compensation.
• Silence residents by removing public hearings, conditional and special use permits, and local decision-making.
These rules would allow towers to be
placed virtually anywhere, with no say from the people who must live with them. This is unacceptable. I respectfully call on the FCC to reject these rules and preserve the authority of local governments to protect the health, safety, and character of their communities.
