Although the existing scientific data does not justify

FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the

wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,

including the following:

1. Support current and future research regarding

possible biological effects of the type of RF

emitted by wireless phones;

2. Design wireless phones in a way that

minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is

not necessary for device function; and

3. Cooperate in providing users of wireless

phones with complete and accurate

information regarding possible effects of

wireless phone use on human health and

safety.

The 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:

1. National Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health

2. Environmental Protection Agency

3. Occupational Safety and Health Administration

4. National Telecommunications and Information

Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in some

interagency working group activities as well. The FDA

shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones

with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
