Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 242 / Wednesday, December 16, 2020 / Notices
with the occupational exposure limit in
Section 1.1310 of this part. If signs are
not used at the occupational exposure
limit boundary, controls or indicators
(e.g., chains, railings, contrasting paint,
diagrams, etc.) must designate the
boundary where the occupational
exposure limit is exceeded.
Additionally, appropriate training is
required for any occupational personnel
with access to the controlled area where
the general population exposure limit is
exceeded, and transient individuals
must be supervised by trained personnel
upon entering any of these areas. Use of
time averaging is required for transient
individuals to ensure compliance with
the general population exposure limit.
Further mitigation by reducing exposure
time in accord with six-minute time
averaging is required for occupational
personnel in the area in which the
occupational exposure limit is
exceeded. However, proper use of RF
personal protective equipment may be
considered sufficient in lieu of time
averaging for occupational personnel in
the areas in which the occupational
exposure limit is exceeded. If such
procedures or power reduction, and
therefore Category reduction, are not
feasible, then lockout/tagout procedures
in 29 CFR Section 1910.147 must be
followed.
(v) Category Four—WARNING/
DANGER: Where the occupational limit
could be exceeded by a factor of more
than ten, ‘‘WARNING’’ signs with the
associated color (orange), controls, or
indicators (e.g., chains, railings,
contrasting paint, diagrams) are required
(in addition to the positive access
control established for Category Two)
surrounding the area in which the
occupational exposure limit in a
controlled environment is exceeded by
more than a factor of ten Signs must
contain the components discussed in
paragraph (b)(4)(vi) of this section.
‘‘DANGER’’ signs with the associated
color (red) are required where
immediate and serious injury will occur
on contact, in addition to positive
access control, regardless of mitigation
actions taken in Categories Two or
Three. If the boundaries between
Category Three and Four are such that
placement of both Category Three and
Four signs would be in the same
location, then the Category Three sign is
optional. No access is permitted without
Category reduction. If power reduction,
and therefore Category reduction, is not
feasible, then lockout/tagout procedures
in 29 CFR Section 1910.147 must be
followed.
(vi) RF exposure advisory signs must
be viewable and readable from the
boundary where the applicable

exposure limits are exceeded, pursuant
to 29 CFR Section 1910.145, and
include at least the following five
components:
(A) Appropriate signal word,
associated color {i.e., ‘‘DANGER’’ (red),
‘‘WARNING’’ (orange), ‘‘CAUTION,’’
(yellow) ‘‘NOTICE’’ (blue)};
(B) RF energy advisory symbol;
(C) An explanation of the RF source;
(D) Behavior necessary to comply
with the exposure limits; and
(E) Up-to-date contact information.
(5) Responsibility for compliance. (i)
In general, when the exposure limits
specified in Section 1.1310 of this part
are exceeded in an accessible area due
to the emissions from multiple fixed RF
sources, actions necessary to bring the
area into compliance or preparation of
an Environmental Assessment (EA) as
specified in Section 1.1311 of this part
are the shared responsibility of all
licensees whose RF sources produce, at
the area in question, levels that exceed
5% of the applicable exposure limit
proportional to power. However, a
licensee demonstrating that its facility
was not the most recently modified or
newly-constructed facility at the site
establishes a rebuttable presumption
that such licensee should not be liable
in an enforcement proceeding relating to
the period of non-compliance. Field
strengths must be squared to be
proportional to SAR or power density.
Specifically, these compliance
requirements apply if the square of the
electric or magnetic field strength
exposure level applicable to a particular
RF source exceeds 5% of the square of
the electric or magnetic field strength
limit at the area in question where the
levels due to multiple fixed RF sources
exceed the exposure limit. Site owners
and managers are expected to allow
applicants and licensees to take
reasonable steps to comply with the
requirements contained in paragraph
1.1307(b)(1) of this section and, where
feasible, should encourage co-location
of RF sources and common solutions for
controlling access to areas where the RF
exposure limits contained in Section
1.1310 of this part might be exceeded.
Applicants and licensees are required to
share technical information necessary to
ensure joint compliance with the
exposure limits, including informing
other licensees at a site in question of
evaluations indicating possible noncompliance with the exposure limits.
(ii) Applicants for proposed RF
sources that would cause noncompliance with the limits specified in
Section 1.1310 at an accessible area
previously in compliance must submit
an EA if emissions from the applicant’s
RF source would produce, at the area in
PO 00000

question, levels that exceed 5% of the
applicable exposure limit. Field
strengths must be squared if necessary
to be proportional to SAR or power
density.
(iii) Renewal applicants whose RF
sources would cause non-compliance
with the limits specified in Section
1.1310 at an accessible area previously
in compliance must submit an EA if
emissions from the applicant’s RF
source would produce, at the area in
question, levels that exceed 5% of the
applicable exposure limit. Field
strengths must be squared if necessary
to be proportional to SAR or power
density.

this 60-day comment period.
The Commission’s Third Report and
Order in PS Docket No. 07–114 adopted
a rule providing that new CMRS
network providers meeting the
definition of covered CMRS providers in
Section 9.10 and deploying new standalone networks must meet the handsetbased location accuracy standard in
delivering emergency calls for Enhanced
911 service. The rule requires that new
stand-alone CMRS providers must
satisfy the handset-based location
accuracy standard at either a countybased or Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP)-based geographic level.
Additionally, in accordance with the
pre-existing requirements for CMRS
providers using handset-based location
technologies, new stand-alone CMRS
providers are permitted to exclude up to
15 percent of the counties or PSAP areas
they serve due to heavy forestation that
limits handset-based technology
accuracy in those counties or areas but
are required to file a an initial list of the
specific counties or portions of counties
where they are utilizing their respective
exclusions.
