of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the Commission, including whether the information shall have 
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden 
estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

    Needs and Uses: The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
(NEPA) required Federal agencies to evaluate the effects of their 
actions on ``human environmental quality.'' To comply with NEPA, the 
Commission adopted rules, 47 CFR Section 1.1307, which revised the 
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure guidelines for FCC-regulated facilities. 
The new guidelines reflect more recent scientific studies of RF 
electromagnetic fields and their biological effects and are designed to 
ensure that the public and workers receive adequate protection from 
exposure to potentially harmful RF electromagnetic fields. The FCC 
staff uses the information required under 47 CFR 1.1307 to determine 
whether the environmental evaluation is sufficiently complete and in 
compliance with the FCC Rules to be acceptable for filing.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
