Urgent!  Oppose FCC wireless Federal Bill HR5009 Unless Amended

This week the US Senate is voting on the National Defense Authorization Act (HR 5009) which would authorize the FCC to license even more wireless spectrum without review of scientific studies showing biological effects. This Bill has Already Passed the House—–

The Senate is poised to vote on the National Defense Authorization Act (HR 5009) which would allow the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to license even more radio frequency wireless spectrum. Why is this a problem? Because the FCC has not yet complied with the DC Circuit Court Order in the landmark case, Environmental Health Trust et al, consolidated with Children’s Health Defense, et al, Petitioners v FCC wherein the Court found that the FCC had failed to examine more than 11,000 pages of scientific studies showing biological effects within the FCC limits for human exposure. The FCC has not taken any steps to address the evidence in the docket as a federal agency is required to do. The FCC has failed to comply with the Court Order!

The FCC Lacked Reasoned Decision Making and Refused to Address the Evidence

In the lawsuit, the Plaintiffs argued that FCC lacked reasoned decision making and that its refusal to address the evidence was arbitrary and capricious. The Court agreed and set forth instances where the FCC had failed to respond, including to studies that show that exposure to levels of radio frequency radiation well under their guidelines still have adverse health effects. The Court noted that the FCC had not responded at all to comments about harm to the environment.

Ask your Senators to Amend the NDAA

In 2021, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the FCC and found that the FCC had violated Federal Law when it did not review the scientific studies on the impact of wireless radiation on human life. The Court was particularly interested in the impact on children and the environment. The last time that the FCC included a review of the science was in 1996 when it came out with its guidelines. As the FCC has refused to include the emerging science that has been published since 1996, the FCC is not in step with current knowledge regarding the biological impacts of this radiation. Push back is needed by Congress against the FCC. Rather than allowing more favors for the wireless industry, the FCC should protect the public interest.

The NDAA should be amended to require the FCC to comply with the DC Court Order before they can release any new spectrum for new wireless rollouts!

Ask your Senators to Oppose the NDAA (HR 5009) Unless Amended! Condition FCC Spectrum Licensing on Compliance with the FCC Court Order.
