frequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a

case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify

users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so

that the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions,

FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,

including the following:

•

Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the

type emitted by wireless phones;

•

Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to

the user that is not necessary for device function; and

•

Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best

possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use on

human health.

FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that

have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure

coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to

this working group:

•

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

•

Environmental Protection Agency

•

Federal Communications Commission

•

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

•

National Telecommunications and Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working

group activities, as well.

FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the

Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in

the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF

exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety

questions about wireless phones.
