According to CHD’s letter to the FCC, the expansion of the OTARD rule would violate the U.S. Constitution and upend long-standing common law personal and property rights.
- The FCC does not have the power to override the property rights protected by the Constitution by purporting to allow others to intrude on someone’s land and send noxious radiation into their home.
- The proposed rule will violate individuals’ right to bodily autonomy and purport to authorize battery on non-consenting citizens.
- The proposed rule will violate the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act.
CHD Gives Notice to FCC Against 5G Cell Towers on Homes—Ex-Parte Letter Receives Over 15,000 Signatures!
By Dafna Tachover, CHD’s Director of 5G & Wireless Harms Project,
childrenshealthdefense.org, 5 June 2020
Children’s Health Defense (CHD) submitted an Ex-Parte letter to the FCC against the OTARD rule expansion which aims to allow 5G cell towers on homes. Following CHD’s successful campaign to bring awareness to the FCC intentions, the letter was signed by 15,090 people. At 735 pages, in terms of signatories, it is likely one of the largest submissions to the FCC. Each signatory was verified in advance of the submission to ensure the FCC would not be able to attack the integrity of the signatories as was the case with the Net Neutrality submission.
About 2,500 of the people who signed the letter added comments to their submissions. Many shared their stories and their objections and are worth reading for an appreciation of the impact upon human lives from wireless radiation. Here are a few that CHD included in the text of the affidavit:
“As a researcher and Neuroscientist, I know that radio frequencies and magnetic fields can affect human health. The fact that 5G has not been tested and is being fast-tracked for deployment is an attack on all US citizens.”
“My beautiful and beloved daughter died in 2011 at the age of 40 from the incurable brain cancer found to be caused by cell phone radiation by the US National Toxicology 10-year study of the effects of cell phone radiation.”
“My work documented that the ‘mystery illness’ in U.S. diplomats to Cuba and China is, to a virtual certainty, due to pulsed radiofrequency radiation. This is now acknowledged as the leading hypothesis by the National Academy of Sciences.”

This submission is extremely important to protect our families from wireless harms. The FCC’s “Over The Air Reception Devices” (OTARD) rule allows wireless companies to install 5G and other cell towers and transmitting devices (not only receiving devices as the name suggests) on homes. The wireless companies will be able to enter into a contract with home owners to install cell towers on their homes, without the need for a permit, without asking for neighbors’ input or permission, and without any consideration for disabilities, property values, or other needs of surrounding neighbors.
The OTARD rule expansion will allow a “Wireless Wild West” for 5G infrastructure and antenna deployment which will include 1,000,000 antennas to provide the ground infrastructure for the satellites.
