The guidelines reflect more recent scientific studies of FR electromagnetic fields and their biological effects, and are designed to ensure that the public and workers are adequately protected from exposure to potentially harmful FR electromagnetic fields. The FCC staff uses the information required by section 1.1307 to determine whether the environmental evaluation is sufficiently complete and in compliance with the FCC rules to be acceptable for filing. This information is needed because the Commission requires applicants to PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 perform an environmental evaluation with respect to radio frequency electromagnetic fields. Applicants are required to consider contributions from other transmitters within the vicinity of their facility in order to assess the cumulative exposure. Accordingly, to correctly determine compliance with the Commission’s exposure limits, an applicant must locate, determine ownership, and gather technical information for all contributing transmitters.
