ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The Court directed the FCC to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. Specifically, the court required the FCC to address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure, the ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments, impacts on the environment, and the adequacy of the FCC’s testing procedures for cell phones and other portable devices. The FCC should fully consider evidence and real-world experiences concerning the health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation, including non-cancer health effects, impacts on children, long-term and cumulative exposure, cancer, and impacts on wildlife and the environment. The FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology or public health. Yet, the agency continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. I urge the FCC to recognize the critical role of federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. This issue matters to me personally because: I no longer use a microwave; all my light bulbs are incandescent; I do not carry a cell phone on my body and when I do use it I do not hold it close to my head - I have so many friends who did/do and now have brain tumors. Indeed I carry it in a Faraday bag; all my phones and computers are hard wired. Why you may ask? Because when I did use those items in the way most people use them, I had headaches regularly. My husband had cancer, which I am fairly sure was negatively impacted by all things wire-less and partly the reason I changed away from wireless when he died. Since changing as I mentioned above, I no longer have headaches. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

This issue matters to me personally because: I am tired of seeing cell phone towers at kids schools and having wireless technology forced on us without proper safety studies. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

This issue matters to me personally because I have two children and while I can control how much RF radiation they are exposed to at home, I can not control how much RF radiation they are exposed at school and other places. I can't even control how much RF radiation our house is exposed to from the neighbors. None of us was exposed to this much RF radiation when we were children. We didn't have wifi, cell phones, even computers until we were teenagers. Young children are more vulnerable to RF radiation as their brain, nervous system, their body still grow. It's not possible to have long-term exposure studies yet as all the new wireless technologies are new and no one who is in their retirement age has been exposed to these technologies since birth. Now our children are under experiment! I strongly don't want my own children to be experimental rats to see if they are going to develop cancer or some other health conditions by the end of their life because of their constant exposure to RF radiation in school and other places! I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

This issue matters to me personally because I am a health practitioner employing assessment methods of epigenetic expression and bioenergetic priorities of people and their pets, and I repeatedly see high challenges relative to microwave, cell tower, cell phone and other EMF emissions. Remediation of these exposures is costly and is never as good as simply not having the exposure in the first place. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

This issue matters to me personally because the studies on radiation have been proven to be harmful and we should not be exposed to this in our communities. Our government should care more about its people.

This issue matters to me personally because I have small children and new towers go up around our house all the time. There is no escape and I worry about the long term effects of the constant exposure. The laws and research have not caught up and we are being exposed 24/7 without being fully aware of the consequences. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

We the people have not voted on this and do not support this harm being positioned on our communities. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Ms. Marlene Dortch: We are writing regarding the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the E-Rate program, and we appreciate the opportunity to comment ahead of the October 13, 2026 deadline, asking the FCC to preserve the current E-Rate program. Our students have reliable internet access at our school because of E-Rate. Without E-Rate funding, we would have to cut core services, programs, and operations to maintain the internet service our school requires. High-speed, reliable internet is central to daily learning at our school. We are concerned by proposals in this proceeding that would narrow the program's scope, including reducing support for schools in less-resourced communities, eliminating funding for certain special construction projects, or ending E-Rate eligibility for early childhood programs. Losing E-Rate support would severely impact our entire school budget, forcing difficult choices between funding essential technology and supporting other critical educational programs. Sixty percent of our internet budget is paid for through E-Rate, and we save several dollars on other technology. We are also concerned about proposed administrative changes that would add significant new burdens on schools without a clear corresponding benefit to students. Eliminating the "Kalamazoo exception" would require schools like ours to re-bid and re-sign existing, already competitively bid contracts more frequently, adding staff time and creating potential service gaps. As a small private school without dedicated E-Rate compliance staff, this change would fall disproportionately hard on us compared to larger districts with dedicated procurement teams. Similarly, requiring a new annual consultant disclosure form (Form 5654) from every applicant, even schools that do not use a consultant, adds a filing requirement with no clear purpose for schools that manage their own applications. E-Rate is an essential program, and we ask for the FCC's continued commitment to ensuring that schools across the nation have access to the federal funds needed to provide secure, scalable, future-ready connectivity that supports the current and evolving needs of our community. We also urge the FCC not to impose overly restrictive mandates or administrative burdens, particularly around screen use and content-monitoring requirements proposed in this proceeding, as they will undermine the flexibility schools need to deliver high-quality, digital learning. Our school has already developed its own internet safety and technology policies tailored to our students and our educational mission, and we ask the Commission to preserve that local flexibility rather than impose a one-size-fits-all federal standard. Respectfully, Mark Peterson - Head of School Racine Christian School
