Dear Ms. Marshall: In reviewing the above-referenced Request for Information (RFI), I believe the issues raised are complicated and cross agency and Departmental regulatory boundaries. Addressing these topics will require coordination and collaboration not only within the federal government but also with state, local, Tribal, territorial, international, and private-sector stakeholders. One approach to addressing these issues would be to work with Congress to establish and fund the staff and activities of a federal advisory committee and interagency working group focused on the topics raised in the RFI, including health and safety impacts, data sources, risk assessment, research priorities, and regulatory approaches. My comments primarily respond to Question 17 of the RFI, which asks how federal agencies can “improve coordination of EMF and RF radiation research.” Please note that the views expressed below are my own as a public health professional and do not represent those of any agency, organization, or other individual(s). Full comment attached. Sincerely, Mitchell Berger
