81472 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 242 / Wednesday, December 16, 2020 / Notices 

with the occupational exposure limit in 

Section 1.1310 of this part. If signs are 

not used at the occupational exposure 

limit boundary, controls or indicators 

(e.g., chains, railings, contrasting paint, 

diagrams, etc.) must designate the 

boundary where the occupational 

exposure limit is exceeded. 

Additionally, appropriate training is 

required for any occupational personnel 

with access to the controlled area where 

the general population exposure limit is 

exceeded, and transient individuals 

must be supervised by trained personnel 

upon entering any of these areas. Use of 

time averaging is required for transient 

individuals to ensure compliance with 

the general population exposure limit. 

Further mitigation by reducing exposure 

time in accord with six-minute time 

averaging is required for occupational 

personnel in the area in which the 

occupational exposure limit is 

exceeded. However, proper use of RF 

personal protective equipment may be 

considered sufficient in lieu of time 

averaging for occupational personnel in 

the areas in which the occupational 

exposure limit is exceeded. If such 

procedures or power reduction, and 

therefore Category reduction, are not 

feasible, then lockout/tagout procedures 

in 29 CFR Section 1910.147 must be 

followed. 

(v) Category Four—WARNING/ 

DANGER: Where the occupational limit 

could be exceeded by a factor of more 

than ten, ‘‘WARNING’’ signs with the 

associated color (orange), controls, or 

indicators (e.g., chains, railings, 

contrasting paint, diagrams) are required 

(in addition to the positive access 

control established for Category Two) 

surrounding the area in which the 

occupational exposure limit in a 

controlled environment is exceeded by 

more than a factor of ten Signs must 

contain the components discussed in 

paragraph (b)(4)(vi) of this section. 

‘‘DANGER’’ signs with the associated 

color (red) are required where 

immediate and serious injury will occur 

on contact, in addition to positive 

access control, regardless of mitigation 

actions taken in Categories Two or 

Three. If the boundaries between 

Category Three and Four are such that 

placement of both Category Three and 

Four signs would be in the same 

location, then the Category Three sign is 

optional. No access is permitted without 

Category reduction. If power reduction, 

and therefore Category reduction, is not 

feasible, then lockout/tagout procedures 

in 29 CFR Section 1910.147 must be 

followed. 

(vi) RF exposure advisory signs must 

be viewable and readable from the 

boundary where the applicable 

exposure limits are exceeded, pursuant 

to 29 CFR Section 1910.145, and 

include at least the following five 

components: 

(A) Appropriate signal word, 

associated color {i.e., ‘‘DANGER’’ (red), 

‘‘WARNING’’ (orange), ‘‘CAUTION,’’ 

(yellow) ‘‘NOTICE’’ (blue)}; 

(B) RF energy advisory symbol; 

(C) An explanation of the RF source; 

(D) Behavior necessary to comply 

with the exposure limits; and 

(E) Up-to-date contact information. 

(5) Responsibility for compliance. (i) 

In general, when the exposure limits 

specified in Section 1.1310 of this part 

are exceeded in an accessible area due 

to the emissions from multiple fixed RF 

sources, actions necessary to bring the 

area into compliance or preparation of 

an Environmental Assessment (EA) as 

specified in Section 1.1311 of this part 

are the shared responsibility of all 

licensees whose RF sources produce, at 

the area in question, levels that exceed 

5% of the applicable exposure limit 

proportional to power. However, a 

licensee demonstrating that its facility 

was not the most recently modified or 

newly-constructed facility at the site 

establishes a rebuttable presumption 

that such licensee should not be liable 

in an enforcement proceeding relating to 

the period of non-compliance. Field 

strengths must be squared to be 

proportional to SAR or power density. 

Specifically, these compliance 

requirements apply if the square of the 

electric or magnetic field strength 

exposure level applicable to a particular 

RF source exceeds 5% of the square of 

the electric or magnetic field strength 

limit at the area in question where the 

levels due to multiple fixed RF sources 

exceed the exposure limit. Site owners 

and managers are expected to allow 

applicants and licensees to take 

reasonable steps to comply with the 

requirements contained in paragraph 

1.1307(b)(1) of this section and, where 

feasible, should encourage co-location 

of RF sources and common solutions for 

controlling access to areas where the RF 

exposure limits contained in Section 

1.1310 of this part might be exceeded. 

Applicants and licensees are required to 

share technical information necessary to 

ensure joint compliance with the 

exposure limits, including informing 

other licensees at a site in question of 

evaluations indicating possible noncompliance with the exposure limits. 

(ii) Applicants for proposed RF 

sources that would cause noncompliance with the limits specified in 

Section 1.1310 at an accessible area 

previously in compliance must submit 

an EA if emissions from the applicant’s 

RF source would produce, at the area in 

question, levels that exceed 5% of the 

applicable exposure limit. Field 

strengths must be squared if necessary 

to be proportional to SAR or power 

density. 

(iii) Renewal applicants whose RF 

sources would cause non-compliance 

with the limits specified in Section 

1.1310 at an accessible area previously 

in compliance must submit an EA if 

emissions from the applicant’s RF 

source would produce, at the area in 

question, levels that exceed 5% of the 

applicable exposure limit. Field 

strengths must be squared if necessary 

to be proportional to SAR or power 

density.

The Commission’s Third Report and 

Order in PS Docket No. 07–114 adopted 

a rule providing that new CMRS 

network providers meeting the 

definition of covered CMRS providers in 

Section 9.10 and deploying new standalone networks must meet the handsetbased location accuracy standard in 

delivering emergency calls for Enhanced 

911 service. The rule requires that new 

stand-alone CMRS providers must 

satisfy the handset-based location 

accuracy standard at either a countybased or Public Safety Answering Point 

(PSAP)-based geographic level. 

Additionally, in accordance with the 

pre-existing requirements for CMRS 

providers using handset-based location 

technologies, new stand-alone CMRS 

providers are permitted to exclude up to 

15 percent of the counties or PSAP areas 

they serve due to heavy forestation that 

limits handset-based technology 

accuracy in those counties or areas but 

are required to file a an initial list of the 

specific counties or portions of counties 

where they are utilizing their respective 

exclusions.
