"An unprecedented and important opportunity" - how to file public comments on wireless radiation

Environmental Health Sciences publishes a step-by-step guide to two open US federal comment processes on wireless radiation: docket ET 13-84 at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), reopened after the 2021 Environmental Health Trust court remand, and the Request for Information from the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). FCC comments are due October 22, 2026 and should address the six remanded issues, such as impacts on children and long-term exposure; submissions outside them will likely be rejected. HHS comments are due October 21, 2026; that request covers RF and other non-ionizing fields such as ELF from power lines, organized as numbered questions. The same comments can be sent to both agencies.

Note: "Environmental Health Sciences is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to driving science into public discussion and policy on environmental health issues." (self-description from ehsciences.org). This piece is a practical filing guide; the list of scientific papers it recommends reflects the site's own selection.

"This is an unprecedented and important opportunity to submit scientific evidence, share personal experiences, and call for strong public health protections."

"The FCC is specifically requesting public comment on the RF exposure issues remanded to the agency by the U.S. Court of Appeals in its 2021 decision. Comments outside of this will likely be rejected."

— Environmental Health Sciences (ehsciences.org)

"IMPORTANT: HHS states that comments may respond to one or more of the questions in the request; commenters should include the question numbers provided in the response."

"You can submit the same comments to both agencies."
