ARLB025 New exposure deadline
New exposure deadline
The FCC has extended the reply comment deadline in its proposal to
adopt new standards for exposure to RF radiation.
The Notice of Proposed Rule Making, in ET Docket 93-62, would adopt
standards already observed by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) in 1992, and is opposed by the ARRL.
The League already has told the FCC that the proceeding should be
terminated, and cited a number of reasons, among them that it isn't
really an NPRM since it doesn't actually propose to change anything,
and that it shouldn't even apply to the average amateur
installation.
The League said that those amateurs remotely likely to be affected
by new standards are those forced to use indoor antennas because of
restrictions against outside installations.
The FCC said it was extending the deadline in response to an
industry group, the ''Telecommunications Industry Association,'' who
said that more than 1200 pages of comments had been filed with the
Commission and that not enough time had been allowed for evaluation
of that much material. The FCC said it recognized ''the complexity
of the issues raised'' by its proposal.
The reply comment deadline was extended from February 24, 1994, to
April 25, 1994. A full story on the League's comments to the FCC in
this matter will appear in April QST.
