Does the FCC routinely monitor radiofrequency radiation?

In Website News on June 24, 2009 at 9:30 am

The FCC does not have the resources or the personnel to routinely monitor the emissions for all of the thousands of transmitters that are subject to FCC jurisdiction.  However, the FCC does have measurement instrumentation for evaluating RF levels in areas that may be accessible to the public or to workers.  If there is evidence of potential non-compliance with FCC exposure guidelines for an FCC-regulated facility, staff from the FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology or the Enforcement Bureau can conduct an investigation, and, if appropriate, perform actual measurements.  It should be emphasized that the FCC does not perform RF exposure investigations unless there is a reasonable expectation that the FCC exposure limits may be exceeded.
