FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Parts 1 and 2

[ET Docket Nos. 03-137 and 13-84, FCC 19-126, FRS 16453]


Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields and 
Reassessment of FCC Radiofrequency Exposure Limits and Policies

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; correction; delay of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this document, the Federal Communications Commission delays 
the effective date of some of the amendments published in a final rule 
on April 1, 2020, with an effective date of June 1, 2020. The 
Commission did not intend certain amendments to take effect until after 
approval by the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act.

DATES: Effective May 29, 2020, the effective date of the amendments to 
47 CFR 1.1307, 2.1091, 2.1093 (amendatory instructions 2, 7, and 8), 
published at 85 FR 18131, April 1, 2020, is delayed indefinitely. We 
will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the 
effective date.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Martin Doczkat, email: 
[email protected]; the Commission's RF Safety Program, 
[email protected]; or call the Office of Engineering and Technology at 
(202) 418-2470.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Commission's Second Report and Order, 
Memorandum Opinion and Order, and Termination of Notice of Inquiry, ET 
Docket No. 03-137, ET Docket No. 13-84, FCC 19-126, adopted November 
27, 2019, and released December 4, 2019, the Commission amended its 
rules related to the methods that may be used for determining and 
achieving compliance with the Commission's existing limits on human 
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields. The amended 
rules are intended to provide more efficient, practical, and consistent 
RF exposure evaluation procedures and mitigation measures to help 
ensure compliance with the existing RF exposure limits. The summary of 
the Second Report and Order published at 85 FR 18131, April 1, 2020, 
incorrectly stated that the entire item would become effective sixty 
days after publication, June 1, 2020. In fact, the amendments to 47 CFR 
1.1307, 2.1091, and 2.1093 require approval by the Office of Management 
and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This document 
indefinitely delays the effective date of 47 CFR 1.1307, 2.1091, and 
2.1093, while the Commission seeks OMB approval.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
