Stop the Federal Cell Tower Takeover

 

This Wednesday, December 17, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation will hold an FCC oversight hearing, and this is the moment to urge Senators to protect local rights and hold the FCC accountable. The FCC has still not complied with the 2021 D.C. Circuit court order in Envtl. Health Tr. v. FCC, 9 F.4th 893 (2021) requiring it to review its RF exposure guidelines. Until the FCC completes this court-ordered review, the agency should not accelerate wireless expansion. Senators must ensure the FCC does not adopt new rules in FCC Docket 25-276 or take any related regulatory actions until it complies with the court order.  The Senate should also block H.R. 2289, H.R. 1343, H.R. 1588, H.R. 1665, H.R. 1681, H.R. 1731, and H.R. 6046, as well as any other federal legislative actions that would expand wireless infrastructure before the FCC completes the required review of its RF exposure guidelines. Tell your Senator that this hearing should be used to demand accountability, protect local decision-making authority, and ensure the FCC complies with the court order before taking any further steps that impact communities, public health, and the environment.

The FCC still has not complied with the 2021 D.C. Circuit court order in Envtl. Health Tr. v. FCC, 9 F.4th 893 (2021) requiring it to review its RF exposure guidelines. Until that court-ordered review is completed, the FCC and Congress should not advance any new rules or laws that accelerate wireless expansion. I’m asking the Senators to: Press the FCC on its failure to comply with the 2021 court order, and make clear that no new rules should move forward until the required review is complete.  Block new rules in FCC Docket 25-276 and stop the FCC from adopting any related regulatory actions.  Oppose federal wireless-expansion bills, including H.R. 2289, H.R. 1343, H.R. 1588, H.R. 1665, H.R. 1681, H.R. 1731, and H.R. 6046, until the FCC complies with the court order and completes its review of RF exposure guidelines.  Defend local decision-making authority and prevent federal overreach into state and local land-use control. Thank you for taking action! The CHD EMR & Wireless Team
