U.S. Supreme Court has turned down petition for review of FCC guidelines for health and safety standards of radio frequency radiation and procedures for FCC licensees to meet National Environmental Policy Act. Cellular Phone Task Force had lost appeal of FCC order last year in 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals, N.Y., which upheld Commission’s decision. Supreme Court turned down, without comment, group’s petition on Mon., effectively leaving FCC decision intact. FCC guidelines concern human exposure to RF radiation from transmitters and facilities. In part, Cell Phone Task Force had argued that Commission “arbitrarily” ignored expert recommendations that would tighten exposure standards.
