On Wednesday, December 3rd at 10am EST, the House Energy & Commerce Committee will vote on HR 2289.

This bill will allow industry to place antennas and cell towers virtually anywhere in America – including in your neighbor’s front yard or on their roof, on your apartment window, and in front of your children’s classrooms. All with no informed consent, no safety oversight, and an industry shielded from liability.   Link to TAKE ACTION HERE

Six Other Bills Need Amendment

In addition to HR 2289, the C&T Subcommittee voted UNANIMOUSLY, by voice vote, to advance 6 other bills that would speed the deployment of wireless infrastructure.

• HR 1343, 1588, 1665, 1681, and 1731 would all help speed the deployment of communications facilities on federal lands, including wireless. We support the deployment of wired broadband and take no position on the wired deployment aspects of these bills. However, the provisions of these bills would be used to speed the deployment of wireless facilities.
  • The National Call for Safe Technology Position: AMEND all five of these bills so that they do not apply to applications for wireless facilities or for wired infrastructure that will be used to deploy wireless facilities (for example as backhaul to connect cell towers).
  • If these bills are not amended, members should oppose these bills. Congress should not be streamlining deployment of wireless facilities unless and until the FCC has promulgated updated exposure guidelines for radiofrequency radiation and complied with an order issued by the DC Circuit in 2021.
• HR 6046 the Broadband and Telecommunications RAIL Act would speed deployment of communications facilities in public rights-of-way that cross railway corridors and in railway rights-of-way. The bill also authorizes a power grab by FCC, usurping authority from the Federal Railroad Administration, even though the bill has not been referred to the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee in the House, which has jurisdiction over FRA.

• The National Call for Safe Technology Position: AMEND the applicability for this bill (which is currently “telecommunications and broadband service facilities” to exclude wireless facilities and wired infrastructure that will be used to deploy wireless facilities (for example as backhaul to connect cell towers).
• AMEND Section 723(c)(2) of the bill to make FRA the sole Federal agency with jurisdiction to hear petitions for dispute resolution between telecom carriers and railroads. The FCC is a captured agency and has zero objectivity when it comes to communications matters.
