Question 2 — Perspective Individual consumer reporting unlicensed wireless transmissions, NIER fraud, and FCC complicity. Question 5(n) — Regulatory changes Abolish all RF categorical exclusions. Require independent annual NIER safety inspections of every wireless facility, without exception. Question 8 — Improvements in exposure assessment Require independent site inspections, verification of all antennas and transmitters, transmission identification, and residential-area measurements. Investigate unlicensed transmissions and missing equipment rather than accepting company paperwork at face value. Question 9 — Technical and exposure-related disclosures Require public disclosure of each facility’s FCC registration, installed antennas and transmitters, licensed frequencies, power levels, inspection results, and RF safety records. Question 15 — Evidence concerning wireless infrastructure The Crown Castle Edgemont cell tower, BU 855801, at 5351 W. 6th Avenue, Lakewood, Colorado, has no current FCC registration (permit TELE24-00035; project CN13-796 / 2400001). There are no registered active call signs or frequencies for this site in the FCC’s Universal Licensing System (ULS). All transmissions measured at this site are publicly unlicensed. Two antennas physically present on the tower are omitted from the current site plan. Using a TinySA Ultra ZS-407 spectrum analyzer and HTOOL HT8 directional antenna, I measured an unlicensed transmission at 10.7777 GHz at +22.3 dBm beneath the tower and +9.4 dBm on my patio, approximately 0.27 miles away. At that same patio location, my cell phone signal measured −90 dBm. The +9.4 dBm reading represents approximately 8.7 billion times the received power of the phone signal. I also measured unlicensed transmissions at 10.0912 GHz and 11.5878 GHz. These transmissions, omitted antennas, and lack of FCC registration demand investigation. Question 18 Crown Castle’s NIER checklist identifies its radio service as Wireless Communications Services (Part 27). That service is not included among the services eligible for the checklist’s categorical exclusion. Crown Castle nevertheless claimed a categorical exemption that does not apply to Wireless Communications Services (Part 27) and left the follow-up power-screening questions blank. The FCC/LSGAC guide sets a 1,640 W EIRP threshold for routine environmental evaluation of Wireless Communications Services. The permit lists two Ericsson AIR 6419 antennas: the B77D has a published maximum EIRP of 80 dBm (100,000 W), and the B77G has a published maximum EIRP of 79 dBm (approximately 79,433 W). Both published maximum EIRP ratings vastly exceed the 1,640 W threshold, even before accounting for two additional antennas omitted from the site plan. Because Crown Castle left the required power calculations blank, the actual effective EIRP of the installed equipment cannot be independently verified from its submitted safety paperwork. Edgemont demands a full RF environmental evaluation, not a categorical exclusion. I allege Crown Castle committed NIER categorical-exclusion fraud by claiming an exemption that did not apply and bypassing RF safety screening. I also allege FCC complicity in a coordinated cover-up and circumvention of NIER safety regulations. Through FOIA, I requested all Edgemont site documentation held by the FCC. The FCC reported that it had no responsive records. I later obtained Crown Castle’s completed NIER categorical-exclusion checklist and site documentation through the City of Lakewood. The checklist identifies itself as the FCC/LSGAC Local Official’s Guide to RF and applies FCC RF-exposure rules to this facility. The FCC’s assertion that it possessed no responsive records is difficult to reconcile with the existence of this documentation. When I reported the unlicensed transmissions and missing antennas, the FCC dismissed my report by focusing on whether my equipment was calibrated instead of investigating. I allege that the FOIA discrepancy, refusal to investigate, and dismissal of my measurements are evidence of a cover-up warranting investigation into the FCC’s role. I allege regulatory capture and a cover-up enabling unlicensed spectrum deployment while bypassing RF safety safeguards. The FCC’s proposed “Build America” rules (WT Docket No. 25-276) would fast-track wireless deployment and restrict local oversight, which would further weaken the FCC’s safety rules. AT&T’s role in the site’s equipment, transmissions, and operation must also be investigated. Abolish all RF categorical exclusions. Require independent annual NIER safety inspections of every wireless facility, without exception. Investigate the unlicensed transmissions and Edgemont facility, establish responsibility for the alleged NIER categorical-exclusion fraud and cover-up, and hold Crown Castle, AT&T, and the FCC accountable.
