Hi All,
Updated Radio Frequency Exposure Rules Become Effective on May 3
04/12/2021

The FCC has announced that rule changes detailed in a lengthy 2019 *Report
and Order <https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-19-126A1.pdf>* governing
RF exposure standards go into effect on May 3, 2021. The new rules do not
change existing RF exposure (RFE) limits but do require that stations in
all services, including amateur radio, be evaluated against existing
limits, unless they are exempted. For stations already in place, that
evaluation must be completed by May 3, 2023. After May 3 of this year, any
new station, or any existing station modified in a way that’s likely to
change its RFE profile — such as different antenna or placement or greater
power — will need to conduct an evaluation by the date of activation or
change.

The Lake Washington Ham Club has a good explanation and some additional
resources.
