As he passed through the gate of the fence to the main studio, the Honolulu agent noted that his personal radiofrequency radiation (``RFR'') monitor LED lit at various places within this area, indicating the RFR in the area likely exceeded the public RFR maximum permitted exposure limit. See Section 1.1310 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. � 1.1310. The agent did find a hand-written sign posted next to the door stating ``Be back in one hour.''

In that MO&O, the Commission denied Americom's application for review of the Forfeiture Order issued May 28, 2004, by the Chief, Enforcement Bureau (``Bureau''), in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for willful and repeated violation of Section 1.1310 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''). The noted violations involve Americom's failure to comply with the radio frequency radiation (``RFR'') maximum permissible exposure (``MPE'') limit applicable to KZTQ's transmission facilities and failure to adequately take measures to prevent the public from accessing areas that exceeded the RFR exposure limits. As discussed below, we dismiss Americom's petition because it does not comply

In the Forfeiture Order, the South Central Region (``Region'') of the Enforcement Bureau imposed a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $25,000 on Entravision for the willful and repeated violation of Section 1.1310 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''). The noted violation involved Entravision's failure to comply with radio frequency radiation (``RFR'') maximum permissible exposure (``MPE'') limits applicable to facilities, operations, or transmitters. II. BACKGROUND The RFR MPE limits, which are set forth in Section 1.1310 of the Rules, include limits for ``occupational/controlled'' exposure and limits for ``general population/uncontrolled'' exposure.

To assess A-O's inability to pay argument, we must consider a related proceeding, where, on December 29, 2003, the Commission assessed a $25,000 forfeiture against A-O for operating KTMN in willful and repeated violation of Sections 1.1310, 11.35, 73.1125, and 73.1400 of the Rules. In the 2003 Forfeiture Order, the Commission took into account an argument from A-O concerning its inability to pay the forfeiture amount as A-O submitted documentation stating that it had no revenues.

Introduction In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), we find that Americom Las Vegas Limited Partnership (``Americom''), licensee of FM radio station KWNZ, Carson City, Nevada, apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 1.1310 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules'') by failing to comply with radio frequency radiation (``RFR'') maximum permissible exposure limits applicable to facilities, operations, or transmitters. We conclude, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), that Americom is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). II. Background In 1996, the

DBAC submitted a radiation hazard study that showed the maximum radiation power density of the outdoor unit, between the feed assembly and the reflector, does not meet the required uncontrolled exposure limit contained in Section 1.1310. This means that radiation exposure could occur if a person accidentally placed his or her head or body between the feed horn and the reflector. DBAC states, however, that if an object is placed between the feed horn and the reflector, it will block the hub's transmission from being received by the indoor unit. In this case, the indoor unit

OET Bulletin 65 does not contain any reference to fence height. It does, however, specify minimum distances from radiating elements. Section 1.1310 of the Rules establishes the criteria to be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to RF radiation based on the station's power.

With respect to various objectors' concerns regarding the perceived unhealthy exposure of local residents to RF radiation from KRKO(AM)'s facilities and their concomitant concern that the Commission's RF exposure rules do not provide adequate protection, we observe first that S-R's engineering consultants have established that KRKO(AM)'s proposal complies with the RF radiation exposure limitations contained in Sections 1.1307(b) and 1.1310 of the Rules with the following provisos. S-R will be required to erect a protective fence around the transmission facility and install appropriate warning signs. Additionally, the construction permit will contain a condition requiring S-R to take actual radiation measurements which will be submitted to the Commission to ensure compliance with the RF exposure limitations. Moreover, we reject the objectors'

The Rules provide for separate MPE limits for areas of ``occupational/controlled'' exposure and areas for ``general population/uncontrolled'' exposure. Licensees can demonstrate compliance by restricting public access to areas where RFR exceeds the public MPE limits. 3. KAOI-FM. Vockrodt-Moran is an employee of the Arboretum.

Infinity seeks review of the Forfeiture Order issued February 6, 2007, by the Enforcement Bureau South Central Region ("Region") imposing a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $10,000 on Infinity for the willful and repeated violation of Section 1.1310 of the Rules. The noted violation involved Infinity's failure to comply with radio frequency radiation ("RFR") maximum permissible exposure ("MPE") limits applicable to facilities, operations, or transmitters. In this Order, we consider the various arguments raised by Infinity and for the reasons set forth below, we deny the application for review and affirm the Region's finding of liability and the

OET Bulletin 65 permits the use of a fence to restrict access as one method to limit human exposure to excessive RF radiation levels.11 Although OET Bulletin 65 does not specify the type or condition

For the reasons set forth below, we grant the Objection to the extent indicated herein and otherwise deny, grant the renewal applications for the limited term of twelve (12) months from the release date of this letter, conditioned on Visionary's implementation of a radio frequency radiation (``RFR'') training program, and grant the covering license applications. BACKGROUND 2. Section 1.1310 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules'') sets maximum permissible exposure (``MPE'') levels of human exposure to RFR. The Rules provide for separate MPE limits for areas of ``occupational/controlled'' exposure and areas for ``general population/uncontrolled'' exposure. Licensees can demonstrate compliance by restricting public access to areas where RFR exceeds the public MPE limits. 3. KAOI-FM. Vockrodt-Moran is an employee of the Arboretum.

Any station that cannot certify compliance must submit an environmental assessment (EA) pursuant to Section 1.1311 and may not commence interim operation until such EA is ruled upon by the Commission; and g) if applicable, any power reduction in an AM station's primary digital

  • law. Section 1.1307(b) provides that Commission actions granting construction permits, licenses to transmit or renewals thereof, equipment authorizations, or modifications in existing facilities require the preparation of an EA if the particular facility, operation or transmitter would cause human exposure to levels of radiofrequency (RF) emissions in excess of the guidelines that the Commission has adopted. See 47 C.F.R. �� 1.1310, 2.1093. 47 C.F.R. � 1.1306(a). 47 C.F.R. � 1.1307(c), (d). Under Section 1.1307(c), an interested person may petition the Bureau responsible for processing a particular action to require environmental consideration, where such consideration would not otherwise be required by the rules. If the Bureau determines that the action may have a significant environmental impact, it will require that an EA

Certain applicants are required to routinely perform an environmental evaluation with respect to determining compliance with the Commission's exposure limits. In the event that an applicant determines the site is not within compliance, the submission of an Environmental Analysis is required. The SAR limits for portable and mobile devices became effective August 7, 1996. The Commission's limits for
