HHS is violating Public Law 90‑602 — and the clock is running.
By law, the Secretary must run an electronic‑product radiation control program, plan and conduct research, and keep the public informed. The National Toxicology Program’s RF research remains halted. Every day without a restart is another day out of compliance.
Legal claim & public demand. We assert that HHS is presently out of compliance with PL 90‑602 because NTP’s RF research remains inactive. This page is a documented demand for statutory enforcement and citizen oversight. Readers should review the sources and consult counsel for personalized legal advice.
What the law requires
“The Secretary shall establish and carry out an electronic product radiation control program.”
Radiation Control for Health & Safety Act of 1968, §356(a). Source
“As part of such program, [the Secretary] shall… plan, conduct, coordinate, and support research… to minimize emissions and exposure.”
§356(a)(2). Source
The Secretary may “collect and make available… results of research and studies” and “all reports on research projects… shall be public information.”

The record is not ambiguous
NTP (2018):Clear evidence of malignant heart schwannomas in male rats from whole‑body RFR exposures; additional signals for gliomas and adrenal tumors. [NTP 2018]
Ramazzini Institute (2018): independent long‑term exposures observed elevated gliomas and cardiac schwannomas at environmental‑level fields. [RI 2018]
WHO‑program review (2025): evidence that RF‑EMF increases cancer in experimental animals, with highest certainty for malignant heart schwannomas and gliomas. [WHO review 2025]
NTP’s RF program was halted in 2024 and, as of 2025, remains unrestarted. That posture is irreconcilable with the statute’s repeated shall for program, research, and public information.
Demand enforcement — today
Tell HHS to restart NTP’s RF research and publish a timetable with milestones.
Ask Congress for oversight hearings on HHS compliance with 21 U.S.C. §§ 360hh–360ss.
Request a GAO review and HHS‑OIG inquiry into program compliance with PL 90‑602.

Policy brief & action hub
How MAHA missed it — and what to demand now
The White House MAHA assessment graded RF harms to children as “low–inadequate” by cutting its evidence window ~2022.
That omits convergent findings that change the risk picture:
NTP 2018 (“clear evidence” in rats),
Ramazzini 2018 (same tumor types at tower‑like fields),
and WHO‑program 2025 (high certainty for heart schwannomas & gliomas).
Meanwhile, NTP’s RF work was halted even though Public Law 90‑602 says the Secretary shall run the program, conduct research, and keep the public informed.
What to demand (copy these asks)
Enforce Public Law 90‑602. Restart NTP’s RF bioeffects program with a public timetable, preregistration, open data, and conflict‑of‑interest firewalls. (law · halt)
Correct MAHA. Issue an erratum + technical annex that incorporates post‑2022 evidence, including WHO 2025, NTP 2018, and Ramazzini 2018; address non‑monotonic biology and documented sponsorship bias.
Pediatric RF Health Task Force. (HHS, FCC, EPA, DOE, ED) Deliver in 6 months a public roadmap covering children, long‑term exposures, modulation, and modern devices.
Li‑Fi‑first for schools & childcare. National advisory + procurement specs to shift high‑throughput traffic to light indoors; minimize ambient RF while standards are updated.
Modernize guidance. Move beyond SAR‑only talking points to cumulative exposure steps families and districts can implement now.
Oversight. GAO review + HHS‑OIG inquiry into PL 90‑602 compliance; quarterly compliance reporting to Congress posted for the public.
Questions for officials (get dates & documents)
When will NTP RF studies restart? Provide charter, budget line, and milestone dates.
Will HHS issue a MAHA erratum? Will it include NTP 2018, Ramazzini 2018, WHO 2025, and an analysis of sponsorship bias?
Does HHS agree PL 90‑602 covers non‑ionizing RF? Where is the current research plan and public‑information docket?
What is the timeline for a Li‑Fi‑first advisory for schools/childcare, with procurement and configuration guidance?
What performance‑standard work is underway that uses current (post‑2022) science instead of thermal‑only assumptions?
30‑second call script (tap to expand)
Hi, I’m calling to ask HHS to enforce Public Law 90‑602. The National Toxicology Program’s RF research is halted,
even after NTP found “clear evidence” of cancers in animals. As of today, it’s been {{DAYS}} days without a restart.
Please: (1) restart NTP with open data, (2) correct MAHA to include WHO 2025 and other post‑2022 evidence,
and (3) issue a Li‑Fi‑first advisory for schools to reduce indoor RF exposure now.

Subject: Enforce PL 90‑602 — restart NTP RF research; correct MAHA; Li‑Fi‑first for schools
Public Law 90‑602 says the Secretary SHALL run an electronic‑product radiation program, conduct research, and keep the public informed.
NTP found “clear evidence” of carcinogenicity in animals (2018). Ramazzini reported similar tumors. WHO‑program (2025) raised certainty.
Yet NTP’s RF program remains halted. As of today it’s been {{DAYS}} days without a restart.
Requests:
• Issue a MAHA erratum/annex that includes post‑2022 evidence (WHO 2025, NTP 2018, Ramazzini 2018) and addresses non‑monotonic biology & sponsorship bias.
• Restart NTP’s RF work with preregistration, independent governance, and open data.
• Publish a Li‑Fi‑first advisory for schools/childcare so districts can reduce indoor RF exposure now.
