On August 26, 2026, Children’s Health Defense reported that the D.C. Circuit directed the FCC to respond within 30 days to a petition seeking compliance with the court’s 2021 remand.
What the response order means
The deadline concerns a response to the petition. It is not, by itself, an order adopting new exposure limits, a ban on wireless devices, or a finding that a particular consumer product is unsafe.
Why the 2021 decision matters
The earlier case challenged the FCC’s explanation for retaining its RF exposure guidelines. The remand required further agency explanation on issues the court identified. The current dispute concerns the agency’s response to that mandate.
