Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 243 / Monday, December 21, 2009 / Notices
Federal Aviation Administration notes,
the Commission’s action on the Petition
does not alter or amend the Federal
Aviation Administration’s regulatory
requirements and process. The
Commission also rejects the assertion
that the declaration the Petitioner seeks
would violate section 332(c)(7)(A)’s
provision that the authority of a State or
local government over decisions
regarding the placement, construction,
and modification of personal wireless
service facilities is limited only by the
limitations imposed in subparagraph
(B). The Commission notes that the
denial of a single application may
sometimes establish a violation of
section 332(c)(7)(B)(ii) if it demonstrates
a policy that has the effect of prohibiting
the provision of personal wireless
services as interpreted herein.
26. Ordinances Requiring Variances.
The Petitioner requests that the
Commission preempt, under section
253(a) of the Act, local ordinances and
State laws that effectively require a
wireless service provider to obtain a
variance, regardless of the type and
location of the proposal, before siting
facilities. Because the Petitioner does
not seek actual preemption of any
ordinance by its Petition, nor does it
present the Commission with sufficient
information or evidence of a specific
controversy on which to base such
action or ruling, the Commission
declines to issue a declaratory ruling
that zoning ordinances requiring
variances for all wireless siting requests
are unlawful and will be struck down if
challenged in the context of a section
253 preemption action.
27. Other Issues. Numerous parties
argue that the Petitioner failed to follow
the Commission’s service requirements
with respect to preemption petitions. 47
CFR 1.1206(a), Note 1, of the
Commission’s rules requires that a party
filing either a petition for declaratory
ruling seeking preemption of State or
local regulatory authority, or a petition
for relief under section 332(c)(7)(B)(v),
must serve the original petition on any
State or local government whose actions
are cited as a basis for requesting
preemption. By its terms, the service
requirement does not apply to a petition
that cites examples of the practices of
unidentified jurisdictions to
demonstrate the need for a declaratory
ruling interpreting provisions of the
Communications Act. These parties’
principal argument is that the
Commission should require the
Petitioner to identify the jurisdictions
that it references anonymously, which,
they assert, would then trigger the
service requirement. However, nothing
VerDate Nov<24>2008
14:14 Dec 18, 2009
Jkt 220001
in the rules requires that these
jurisdictions be identified.
28. Several commenters argue that the
Commission should deny the Petition in
order to protect local citizens against the
health hazards that these commenters
attribute to RF emissions. To the extent
commenters argue that State and local
governments require flexibility to deny
personal wireless service facility siting
applications or delay action on such
applications based on the perceived
health effects of RF emissions, such
authority is denied by statute under
section 332(c)(7)(B)(iv). The
Commission concludes that such
arguments are outside the scope of the
proceeding.
29. In its Cross-Petition, EMRPI
contends that in light of additional data
that has been compiled since 1996, the
RF safety regulations that the
Commission adopted at that time are no
longer adequate. The Commission states
that EMPRI’s request to revisit the
regulations is also outside the scope of
the current proceeding, and the
Commission dismisses EMRPI’s CrossPetition.
III. Conclusion
30. For the reasons discussed in the
Ruling, the Commission grants in part
and denies in part CTIA’s Petition for a
Declaratory Ruling interpreting
provisions of section 332(c)(7) of the
Communications Act. By clarifying the
statute, the Commission recognizes
Congress’ dual interests in promoting
the rapid and ubiquitous deployment of
advanced, innovative, and competitive
services, and in preserving the
substantial area of authority that
Congress reserved to State and local
governments to ensure that personal
wireless service facility siting occurs in
a manner consistent with each
community’s values.
IV. Ordering Clauses
31. It is ordered that, pursuant to
sections 4(i), 4(j), 201(b), 253(a), 303(r),
and 332(c)(7) of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.
154(i), (j), 201(b), 253(a), 303(r),
332(c)(7), and § 1.2 of the Commission’s
rules, 47 CFR 1.2, the Petition for
Declaratory Ruling filed by CTIA—The
Wireless Association is granted to the
extent specified in the Ruling and
otherwise is denied.
32. It is further ordered that, pursuant
to sections 4(i), 4(j), and 332(c)(7) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), (j), 332(c)(7),
and § 1.2 of the Commission’s rules, 47
CFR 1.2, the Cross-Petition filed by the
EMR Policy Institute is dismissed.
