Radio Frequency Emission Safety Guidelines
On June 2, 2000, the Commission and the Local and State Government Advisory Committee jointly
issued a Local Government Official's Guide to Transmitting Antenna RF Emission Safety. The guide
is designed to provide local communities with a greater understanding of RF emission issues and
comprehensive information and guidance in devising efficient procedures for assuring that local
antenna facilities comply with the Commission's limits for human exposure to RF electromagnetic
fields. It is designed to answer in clear, understandable language the questions of elected officials
and local residents alike on the impact of antenna towers on community health.
The Wireless Bureau and the Office of Enginnering and Technology also maintain websites related to RF Emissions. The RF Guide for broadcasting and other tower siting information is available at the Wireless Facilities Siting website, and other RF safety information is available at the RF Safety Program website.
