🏛️ EHT Warns FCC ‘Build America’ Proposal Would Preempt Local Cell-Tower Control
Environmental Health Sciences reports: EHT's wireless program warns that FCC WT Docket No. 25-276, the "Build America" wireless-deployment proposal, would preempt state and local authority over cell-tower siting and permitting. The page highlights local-government opposition, automatic approvals if shot clocks are missed, limits on fees and setbacks, possible preemption of RF testing requirements, and scientist warnings about fast-tracking infrastructure that increases RF exposure.
Note: This is an Environmental Health Sciences / Environmental Health Trust advocacy page about an FCC rulemaking and local control of wireless infrastructure.
"These rules would pre-empt state and local authority for the siting, permitting and regulation of cell towers and wireless infrastructure nationwide."
"This would remove a key safety assurance tool and leave communities to pay for the testing themselves."
