The FCC revision to the guidelines for RF exposure have now been published
in the Federal Register:

https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/06/04/2013-12713/reassessment-
of-exposure-to-radiofrequency-electromagnetic-fields-limits-and-policies
and
https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/06/04/2013-12716/human-exposur
e-to-radiofrequency-electromagnetic-fields

360 comments have been filed, mostly from people who believe RF is killing
life as we know it.

Here is the schedule for comments:

Comments must be filed on or before September 3, 2013, and reply comments
must be filed on or before November 1, 2013.

The dockets are: ET Docket No. 03-137, and Notice of Inquiry, ET Docket No.
13-84, FCC 13-39, adopted March 27, 2012 and released March 29, 2012.

Go here: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment_search/

and in the top box enter for example 03-137 for proceeding number.

A review of the existing filed comments will show that most of them are from
people who claim they get headaches from RF and "doctors" who agree.
example:

"Electromagnetic chaos within all technological creation causes malfunction
on brain and human DNA and lower the use of it and added extreme protection
will benefit everybody."

It's important hams file rational comments to balance the hysteria of some
of the currently filed comments. There are 360 filed so far, most from
people who seem to think RF is dangerous to all living things.

There are also comments filed by something called the EMR Policy Institute.
