FCC
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) each regulate wireless
telephones. FCC ensures that all wireless phones sold in the
United States follow safety guidelines that limit radio frequency
(RF) energy. FDA monitors the health effects of wireless
telephones. Each agency has the authority to take action if a
wireless phone produces hazardous levels of RF energy.
FDA derives its authority to regulate wireless telephones from
the Radiation Control provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (originally enacted as the Radiation Control for
Health and Safety Act of 1968).
