CTIA urged the FCC to reject a petition for reconsideration filed in July by the American Associationnfor Justice (AAJ) objecting to the FCC’s reclassification of the outer ear as not subject to specific absorptionnrate limits for radiation from cellphones (http://fcc.us/13SvTNS) under the agency's radio frequencynrules. “Unlike the Trial Lawyers, CTIA strongly supports the Commission’s decision in the Firstn[report and order] to classify the pinna as an extremity based on the expert determinations of the [Foodnand Drug Administration] and of the IEEE, and the Commission’s conclusion that this specification has nonpractical effect on human exposure to RF energy permitted by the FCC’s rules,” CTIA said (http:/bit.ly/19M0u0o). “Because the Commission’s inclusion of the pinna with the ankles, wrists, feet, andnhands for purposes of RF [radio frequency] exposure compliance was properly guided by the recommendationsnof federal agencies and organizations with expertise in measuring RF exposure and evaluating itsnenvironmental effects,” CTIA said the FCC should reject AAJ's petition.
