US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Hands Down Decision in Citizen Challenge to FCC's Radiofrequency Radiation Safety Policy
Washington D.C., December 7, 2004 -- In an opinion filed by Senior Circuit Judge Stephen F. Williams, No. 03-1336 EMR Network v. Federal Communications Commission and United States of America, the Court upheld the FCC's decision not to initiate an inquiry on the need to revise its regulations to address non-thermal effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation from the facilities and products subject to FCC regulation as EMR Network had requested in its September 2001 Petition for Inquiry.
At the request of the EMR Network, The EMR Policy Institute provided legal and research support for this appeal.
"We are considering a Petition for Certiorari to the Supreme Court as the next step in this challenge to current US RF radiation safety policy," stated Janet Newton, President of The EMR Policy Institute.
