Dear Secretary Kennedy and the OASH Policy Team,
My name is Addison Hansen, I am 16 years old, and I live in Frost, Minnesota. Please accept the attached letter as my official youth submission regarding the Department of Health and Human Services’ Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (Docket ID: HHS-OASH-2026-0397).
I am writing to you because my generation's future health is directly on the line. While your office is doing the right thing by opening this inquiry to investigate the dangers of EMF radiation, regional utilities are trying to build the massive PowerOn Midwest 765 kV transmission line project right through our communities.
It makes no sense to rush and build the biggest high-voltage powerline project in our region's history at the exact same time the federal government is admitting we need to pause and study whether these EMF levels are actually safe for us. My peers and I will have to live next to this infrastructure for decades to come.
In my attached letter, I am calling on you, Secretary Kennedy, to stand up for young people and ask grid operators to halt the PowerOn Midwest project until your department finishes this RFI and updates federal safety standards.
Thank you for listening to youth voices on this critical health issue. I have also mailed the letter to your office by express mail, but it will not be able to reach your office in time for the deadline. 
Sincerely,

Addison Hansen
