All of our antennas will be mounted on the roof and our radio equipment will be located on the ground next to the building and shielded by a brick wall (see sheet 7). Because this does not conform to the City of Little Rock landscape requirements, we are asking for a landscape waiver. Please find included in our application: 1) Four sets of zoning drawings. 2) WCF Application form 3) ERP letter from Sprint 4) Landlord authorization to apply for zoning. 5) No collocation letter required because of rooftop installation. Please feel free to call at 903-939-0043 should you have any questions and I look forward to working with you again.

The FCC, in regulating electromagnetic energy, applies a modified version of the standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) to include the NCRP standard for Specific Absorption Rate or SAR, for PCS bands. These standards, when converted over to the more familiar power density specification, set a maximum power density level for public areas at 1.00 mW]cm2 (miliiwatts per square centimeter) for general population exposure and 5.00 mW/cm2 for occupational exposure. As a measure of safety. this level is set 50 times lower than levels the standards committees felt could potentially be harmful for constant exposure, Our antennas are designed to concentrate the majority of their signal power out of the front of the antenna in a very thin beam. These installations consist of three antennas each designed to cover 120 degrees for a total of 360 degrees of coverage. Signal strength coming from the back of an antenna and from positions well below an antenna is typically hundreds of times lower than the signal in the main beam at the front of the antenna. PCS technology uses very low power transmitters especially when compared with TV and Radio broadcasting which can be hundreds of thousands of times more powerful than a PCS station. Through software modeling techniques, we can calculate the power density from a Sprint PCS installation at a variety of locations around the proposed site. Sprint PCS evaluates all sites to determine the percent of exposure incurred by the general public and occupational exposure resulting from the operation of our antennas. This is an issue that we take very seriously with much effort and manpower going into maintaining NEPA compliant sites. In addition to this, regular audits are conducted to ensure accuracy and completeness. We have developed several proprietary software programs exclusively used to determine power density levels and to compute maximum exposure limits- It is also our policy that when a site is changed in any manner that would impact exposure levels, a new analysis is performed- All data is saved and available to the FCC upon request. Current FCC -adopted Exposure Limits In FCC 96-326, the FCC adopted new exposure guidelines. The guidelines are given in terms of mW/cm^2 and the maximum limits are termed "Maximum Permissible Exposure" (MPE) for both occupational and general cases. Because these guidelines are based upon the same SAR limits as those in the IEEE/ANSI and NCRP guidelines, they also include the safety factors of 10 and 50 for occupational and general public scenarios respectively. The graph in Figure 1-1 shows the current FCC WE guidelines. The two arrows indicate the cellular (-850 MHz) and PCS (-1300 MHz) frequencies. The exposure limits for PCS, expressed in terrns of more readily determined "power density", are 1.0 and 5.0 mW/cm2 for general public and occupational cases, respectively. M1 III oil eilima I Figure 1-1: FCC Exposure Limits. Current FCC Rules/Regulations The current regulations are contained in CFR Title 47, Sections 1.1307 and 1.1310. A brief summary of the current regulation is as follows: e In general, all facilities, operations and transmitters regulated by the Commission must comply with the exposure limits put forth in the NEPA rules of Title 47, Part 1, Section 1.1307 and 1.1310. e Applications to the Commission ... must contain a statement confirming compliance with the limits unless... categorically excluded. ■ Technical information showing the basis for this statement must be submitted to the Commission upon request. s In the case of multiple fixed transmitters, any action necessary to bring the facility into compliance is the shared responsibility of all licensees whose transmitters contribute more than 5% of the exposure limit applicable to that transmitter. Exposure Modeling Using Spherical and Cylindrical Modeling, it is the policy of Sprint PCS to perform sufficient analysis on each site to assure that the above mentioned FCC Rules and Regulations are being met. Sprint PCS proprietary software is used to model RF exposure conditions on rooftops and towers and in any other areas that our antennas are used. Software modeling allows us to perform a worst case scenario for our antenna sites. This is accomplished by inputting the maximum power being transmitted into the antenna and determining what safe working distance is required to remain under the FCC limits established for General Public and Occupational Workers. Safety Procedures and Guidelines Under normal conditions, the general public and occupational worker are well protected. Sprint PCS provides a wide safety margin for areas around the antenna. Individuals working around or near the antennas should be informed that the radio frequency antennas exist on the site (this is indicated by signs located at the antennas). If for some reason the worker needs to approach within the designated area of the front of the antennas, the tower manager should be contacted as indicated on the sign posted near the antenna. For these rare situations the regional RF Manager can facilitate a decrease in power at the site. Health Risks and Issues Sprint PCS cell sites transmits non -ionizing emissions. Non -ionizing emissions occur from all known communication transmitters. Non -ionizing emission is non -cumulative, which means no re -occurring effects from the emission exist. Non -ionizing emission has the potential to increase molecular cell movement, which can cause an increase in body temperature. Currently, there have been no links to cancer from the effects of non -ionizing emissions. Ionizing emissions occurs at frequencies above UV light (2,424 GHz and higher). This type of emission can cause electrons to tear from their atoms, and create Ions. This effect causes permanent biologica( changes to molecular structure of cells, and DNA damage of the twisted strands. Ionizing emissions are cumulative, which means that the effects of the emissions will continue to damage good cells. A known ionizing emission that we typically confront is direct sunlight exposure. Summary It is Sprint PCS's policy to make sure that each site is within compliance to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) regulations in regards to radio frequency exposure limits to general and occupational workers. Maximum exposure levels occur in the front lobe of the antenna beam. The area in front of the antenna is normally inaccessible to the general or occupational worker(s). Exposure levels behind the antenna are much less than levels set in the standards, and typically require distances less than an inch for maximum exposure. Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields is of great concern to Sprint PCS and we evaluate all sites for compliance to current FCC rules and regulations. We are continually striving to improve the quality of our modeling techniques through continuous improvement of our software tools and training procedures. We recognize our role as an industry leader to place the health and welfare of the public and occupational workers in high regard, and will continue to do so through mandatory modeling and measurements as required_ We determine the hazard that is present and inform both the general public and occupational workers through appropriate signage and inaccessible restriction areas.
