(A) Any fixed facility which generates an electromagnetic field in the frequency range of 300 kHz to 100 GHz within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts;(B) Any person who operates or who controls the operation of any facility described in 105 CMR 122.001(A). In the case of a facility that requires an FCC license to operate, the FCC licensee would be that person. Compliance with the provisions of 105 CMR 122.000 is the responsibility of the person who operates or who controls the operation of any facility described in 105 CMR 122.001(A);(C) Any occupational exposure of employees by a facility, machine, device, product, or system, whether fixed, mobile or portable, generating electromagnetic fields between 10 kHz and 100 GHz ; and to,(D) Any person or employer who operates or who controls the operation of a machine, device or system described in 105 CMR 122.001(C). In the case of a facility that requires an FCC (Federal Communication Commission) license, the FCC licensee would be that person. Nothing in 105 CMR 122.000 shall limit the kind or amount of electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range of 300 kHz to 100 GHz that may be intentionally administered to an individual by a person licensed to so administer such radiation under the laws of the Commonwealth.
Should 105 CMR 122.000, as it applies to FCC licensees, conflict with any Federal Regulations, Standards or Guidelines, other than those pertaining to exposure of the general public, consideration shall be given to such Federal Regulations, Standards or Guidelines if requested by the affected facility.
