Abstract
This Second Memorandum Opinion and Order amends the Commission's rules to refine and clarify the decisions adopted in the Report and Order, regarding the use of new guidelines and methods in the evaluation of the environmental effects of RF electromagnetic fields or emissions produced by FCC-regulated transmitters. The Commission believes its decisions provide a proper balance between the need to protect the public and workers from exposure to potentially harmful RF electromagnetic fields and the requirement that industry be allowed to provide telecommunications services to the public in the most efficient and practical manner possible.
