INTRODUCTION
Petitioner ambitiously attempts to make a “federalism
case,” out of a relatively straightforward declaratory
judgment action involving well-established principles of
preemption of local government action by federal law. What
is Clear from the Petition, however, is that this case presents
ho “contlict”™ among the lower courts, no important and
unresolved question of constitutional law and no other
important, unresolved question of federal law.
Respondents instituted the underlying action seeking
declaratory and injunctive relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 2201, 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7) and K.S.A. § 19-2964. In
particular, Respondents sought to establish that Petitioner's
attempts to regulate radio frequency interference (“RFI”)
through its adoption of certain amendments to its zoning
regulations for communication towers and communication
antennae (collectively referred to as the “Interference
Amendment”), and the conditioning of its approval of
Respondents’ application for a conditional use permit on
compliance with said amendment, was illegal and
unreasonable because they violated the Federal
Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Given the fact
this case solely involved a matter of law, i.e., the issue of
preemption of Petitioners’ Interference Amendment to its
zoning regulations, Respondents promptly filed a Motion for
Summary Judgment. The district court below granted
summary judgment in favor of Respondents, invalidating
Petitioner's regulation, as impliedly preempted by federal
law, and rejecting Petitioner's contention that such
preemption violated the Tenth Amendment's reservation of
state powers.
2
On appeal, Petitioner challenged the district court’s
conclusions and further contended that the district court’s
order was over-broad and that issues of fact precluded
summary judgment. The court of appeals below rejected
Petitioner’s contentions and affirmed the district court’s
decision holding that: (i) Petitioner’s attempts to regulate
RFI through its amendments to its zoning regulations were
impliedly preempted by federal law; (ii) this preemption did
not violate the Tenth Amendment; (iii) the district court’s
order was not over-broad; and (iv) the district court did not
otherwise err. (Pet. App. A, 2a).
Petitioner’s Statement of the Case erroneously suggests
that the Interference Amendment at issue is a mere “zoning”
regulation, which focuses only on public safety issues and
does not substantially regulate in a federal area of concern
or impact national uniformity issues. (Pet. 6). As recognized
by the court below, however, Petitioner’s Interference
Amendment “extends beyond traditional zoning authority
(i.e., placement, construction and modification) and into
radio telecommunications, an area of FCC [exclusive]
authority.” (Pet. App. A, 10a-lla). Under Petitioner’s
Interference Amendment, communications towers and
antennae cannot operate in a manner that interferes with
public safety communications. (Pet. 4). The Interference
Amendment grants the county’s zoning administrator
authority to determine when interference exists and, after
notice and opportunity for a hearing, to force the antenna
site to cease operations. (Pet. App. A, 3a-4a). The
Interference Amendment provides, in pertinent part, as
follows:
(2) [The permit holder] shall be responsible,
immediately upon notification by the zoning
3
administrator or the public safety agency, to
investigate the cause of the interference,
disruption, or degradation and to determine a
method .. . to remedy the problem.
(3) [The permit holder] shal/ within 24 hours
after receiving notice of the disruption, remedy
the problem or show to the satisfaction of the
zoning administrator that the tower or other site
equipment is not the cause of the interference or
disruption. If the interference .. . causing the
functional interruption is not remedied within the
24 hours, then the zoning administrator may upon
two days written notice to the [permit holder],
set a hearing to show cause why the applicable
Permit shall not be terminated and the
site ... Shall not cease operation until the
problem is remedied. The hearing shall be
temporarily stayed [for two days], however, if the
[permit holder] seeks immediate technical
assistance and advice .. . from the FCC.
(5) [The permit holder] shall be responsible
for the payment of costs to cure the
interference . . . including the fees of any experts
retained to identify or correct the problem. . . .
(Pet. App. A, 4a-Sa).
4
Because the court below properly applied this Court's
well-established legal standards governing preemption
analysis in its review of Petitioner's Interference
Amendment, it correctly concluded that Petitioner's attempts
at regulating RFI were subject to preemption by the Federal
Communications Act of 1934, as amended. As such, no basis
exists for review and this Court should deny the Petition.
REASONS FOR DENYING THE WRIT
l. THE COURT'S DECISION BELOW WAS IN
ACCORD WITH THIS COURT'S PRIOR
DETERMINATIONS CONCERNING THE COM-
PREHENSIVE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
OF THE FCC OVER “TECHNICAL MATTERS”,
SUCH AS RFI, ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANS-
MISSION OF BROADCAST SIGNALS AND
ACCORDINGLY, PRESENTED NO UNRESOLVED
IMPORTANT QUESTION OF FEDERAL LAW.
Petitioner argues that the issue of implied preemption
by the “comprehensive and exclusive nature of the federal
regulatory scheme developed under the Federal
Communications Act of 1934, 47 U.S.C. § 151, et seq., as
amended,” over its Interference Amendment has not directly
been decided by this Court. While it is true this Court has
not directly decided this issue with respect to Petitioner's
particular “Interference Amendment,” which expressly
prohibits RFI with public safety communications, this Court
has directly recognized the FCC's exclusive jurisdiction over
“technical matters, such as frequency allocation... .”
regarding radio signal transmissions. Head v. New Mexico
Board of Examiners in Optometry, 374 U.S. 424, 430 n.6,
5
83S. Ct. 1759, 10 L. Ed. 2d 983 (1963), citing 47 U.S.C.
§ 301. Moreover, in discussing the breadth of the FCC’s
authority over matters such as RFI, this Court has further
observed that ‘[t]he Communications Act... expresses a
desire on the part of Congress to maintain, through
appropriate administrative control, a grip on the dynamic
aspects of radio transmission,” Federal Communications
Commission vy. Pottsville Broadcasting Co., 309 U.S. 134,
138 (1940), in order to “secure the maximum benefits of
radio to all of the people of the United States.” National
Broadcasting Co. v. United States, 319 U.S. 190, 21 7,63 S.
Ct. 997, 87 L. Ed. 1344 (1943). Because, as recognized by
the courts below, Petitioner’s Interference Amendment
focuses on operational and performance matters regarding
telecommunications towers, i.e., expressly prohibiting and
providing mechanisms for responding to RFI with public
safety communications, it impermissibly extends into the
“technical matters” arena of exclusive FCC authority, which
has been directly recognized by this Court. (Pet. 4: Pet. App.
A, 4a-5a, 10a-1 1a).
il. PETITIONER’S CONCERNS OVER THE TENTH
CIRCUIT’S ALLEGED LACK OF CONSIDERATION
AS TO “WHETHER THE LOCAL REGULATION
COULD CONSTITUTIONALLY CO-EXIST WITH
FEDERAL LAW REGULATIONS,” PRESENTS NO
QUESTION FOR THIS COURT AS FIELD
PREEMPTION EXISTS.
Federal law preempts state or local law in three
Situations:
(1) When Congress, in enacting a federal
Stalute, has expressed a clear intent to preempt
Stale law;
6
(2) When it is clear, despite the absence of
explicit preemptive language, that Congress has
intended, by legislating comprehensively, to
occupy an entire field of regulation and has
thereby left no room for the states to supplement
federal law; or
(3) When compliance with both state and
federal law is impossible or when the state law
“stands as an obstacle to the accomplishment and
execution of the full purposes and objectives of
Congress.”
Capital Cities Cable, Inc. v. Crisp, 467 U.S. 691, 699, 104
S. Ct. 2694, 2700, 81 L. Ed. 2d 580 (1984) (citations omitted)
(emphasis added).
The above three alternative methods of federal law
preemption have commonly been referred to as: (1) express
preemption, (2) field preemption; and (3) conflict
preemption. See, e.g., Barnett Bank of Marion County, N.A.
v. Nelson, 517 U.S. 25, 31, 116 S. Ct. 1103, 1108, 134
L. Ed. 2d 237 (1996). This Court has defined the second of
these alternative methods as follows:
Field preemption may be inferred if a federal
scheme of regulation is so pervasive that Congress
must have intended to leave no room for a state
to supplement it or if an act of Congress touches
a field in which the federal interest is so dominant
the federal system is assumed to prohibit
enforcement of state laws on the same issue.
Rice v. Santa Fe Elevator Corp., 331 U.S. 218, 230, 67
S. Ct. 1146, 1152, 91 L. Ed. 1447 (1947); see also Hines v.
7
Davidowitz, 312 U.S. 52, 61 S. Ct. 399, 85 L. Ed. 581 (1941).
As recognized by this Court, the Federal Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, provides comprehensive regulation
in the field of technical radio communications, le: ing no
room for supplementation by state or local authority.
See, e ¢., National Broadcasting Co. v. United States, 319
U.s. at 214 (Communications Act of 1934 created a unified
and comprehensive regulatory system for the [radio
transmission] industry.); Head, 374 U.S. 424, 430 n.6 (noting
FCC’s exclusive jurisdiction over technical matters regarding
radio signal transmission.) Accordingly, the courts below
correctly found field preemption of Petitioner’s Interference
Amendment.!
Given that field preemption of RFI was found to exist,
it Was not necessary to look at the third alternative type of
preemption, /.e. conflict preemption, in order to determine
if, in fact, the Petitioner’s Interference Amendment could
constitutionally co-exist with federal law. See City of New
York v. FCC, 486 U.S. 57, 63, 108 S. Ct. 1637, 100 L. Ed.
2d 48 (1988) (noting that beyond conflict preemption, in
proper circumstances, it may be determined that a federal
agency's authority on a given issue is exclusive and preempts
any state effort to regulate in the forbidden area.) See also
Hillsborough County v, Automated Med. Lab., Inc., 471 U.S.
707, 716, 105 S. Ct. 2371, 2376, 85 L. Ed. 2d 714 (1985)
(noting that even in cases of local regulation of matters
related to health and safety, implicit preemption may exist
where it is the “clear and manifest” intent of Congress or an
agency acting pursuant to congressional delegation to
preempt the field.).
1. The district court below also found conflict preemption to
exist. (Pet. App. B, 32a-34a).
8
Ill. PETITIONER’S CONCERN OVER “WHETHER
THE TENTH AMENDMENT LIMITS THE POWER
OF FEDERAL LAW IN PREEMPTING, BY
IMPLICATION, THE AUTHORITY OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENT” TO REGULATE MATTERS OF
PUBLIC SAFETY DOES NOT PRESENT A
QUESTION FOR THIS COURT AS THIS COURT
HAS PREVIOUSLY HELD PREEMPTION
PRINCIPLES APPLY EVEN TO MATTERS OF
SPECIAL CONCERN TO THE STATES AND RFI
REGULATION IS NOT A TRADITIONAL LOCAL
INTEREST, BUT RATHER A NATIONAL
INTEREST PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW.
Petitioner next argues that this Court should exercise its
discretionary jurisdiction to “consider and rule upon a
fundamental issue of federal constitutional law,” i.e., whether
the Tenth Amendment limits the power of federal law to
preempt local government in its regulation of matters of
special concern, e.g., public safety. This Court has, however,
previously addressed this issue and need not now exercise
its discretionary jurisdiction to revisit that issue.
In Fidelity Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass'n v. de la Cuesta, 458
U.S. 141, 153 (1982), this Court noted that preemption of
law principles apply even to “matter[s] of special concern to
the states” and “the relative importance to the state of its
own law is not material ... for the Framers of our
Constitution provided that federal law must prevail.”
Moreover, as recognized by the courts below, where as here,
it is the “clear and manifest” intent of Congress to preclude
state or local regulation of a given area, e.g., RFI, even a
legitimate exercise of a local government’s police power can
be preempted. See, e.g., Wisconsin Pub. Intervenor v.
9
Mortier, 501 U.S. 597, 605 (1991); Rice v. Santa Fe Elevator
Corp., 331 U.S. 218, 230 (1947). Although Petitioner
repeatedly attempts to characterize its Interference
Amendment, as nothing more than a legitimate exercise of
its police powers, as noted by the court below, Petitioner’s
regulation expressly prohibits RFI with public safety
communications and “RFI regulation is not a traditional local
interest, but a national interest preempted by federal
legislation.” (Pet. App. Al5a-16a). As stated by the FCC:
[F]ederal power in the area of [RF] is exclusive;
to the extent that any state or local government
attempts to regulate in this area, their regulations
are preempted.
See In the Matter of 960 Radio, Inc., FCC 85-578 at {7
(November 4, 1985) available at 1985 WL 193883. The
FCC’s statement, in this instance, is dispositive on the
question of implicit intent to preempt. Hillsborough County
v. Automated Med. Lab., Inc., 471 U.S. at 713, citing Chevron
USA, Inc. v. National Resources Defense Council, Inc., 467
U.S. 837, 843-844 (1984).
Given the FCC’s explicit statement of its intention to
preempt local regulation of RFI, federal preemption of
Petitioner’s Interference Amendment does not violate the
Tenth Amendment and the court’s decision below was in all
respecis proper, leaving review by this Court unnecessary.
10
IV. THE COURT BELOW PROPERLY APPLIED THE
LEGAL PRINCIPLES ESTABLISHED BY THIS
COURT IN DETERMINING THAT FEDERAL
LAW IMPLIEDLY PREEMPTED PETITIONER’S
INTERFERENCE AMENDMENT.
Petitioner contends that not only was the court’s decision
below erroneous, but that the court below failed to consider
and apply the legal standards for preemption analysis
articulated by this Court. This is simply not true.
In a well-reasoned and thorough opinion, the court below
unanimously confirmed the district court’s grant of summary
judgment to Respondent and, in doing so, correctly applied
this Court’s legal standards for the analysis of the preemption
question presented. Specifically, the court below recognized
Congress’ preemption power over state and local ordinances
as articulated by this Court in its holdings in, among other
cases, Wisconsin Pub. Intervenor v. Mortier, 501 U.S. 597,
605 (1991); Barnett Bank of Marion County, N.A. v. Nelson,
517 U.S. 25, 31 (1996); English v. General Elec. Company,
496 U.S. 72, 79 (1990); and Rice v. Santa Fe Elevator Corp.,
331 U.S. 218, 230 (1947). Furthermore, contrary to
Petitioner’s contention that the court below failed to consider
and apply the legal standards set by this Court in
Hillsborough County v. Automated Med. Lab., Inc.,471 US.
707 (1985), the court below expressly addressed and
rejected Petitioner’s reliance on the Hillsborough decision.
(Pet. App. 15a-16a).
Although the [Petitioner] relies on
Hillsborough County v. Automated Med. Lab.,
Inc., 471 U.S. 707 (1985), the case does not
support their argument. The Supreme Court in
11
Hillsborough upheld a county ordinance
regulating health — an area of traditional state
power -— despite federal regulation in the area.
However, the court found no implied preemption
because the federal agency explicitly stated its
intention not to preempt state and local
regulations. See Jd. at 714, 716. Thus,
Hillsborough is inapplicable here because the
FCC has explicitly stated its intention to preempt
local regulations on RFI, see Jn re Mobilecomm,
to F.C.C.R. 5519; In re 960 Radio, FCC 85-578,
1985 WL 193883, and the statutes and legislative
history support Congress’ intent to occupy the
field of RFI issues.
(Pet. App. Al Sa-16a).
Petitioner also seeks this Court’s review of the decision
below in order to have this Court determine whether
Petitioner’s regulation falls within the scope of field
preemption. (Pet. 15). Review of this issue, however, is not
necessary as this Court has previously recognized not only
the exclusive nature of the FCC’s authority in connection
with technical matters, such as RFI, but also the stated
objectives of the Federal Communications Act of 1934 to
provide a “unified and comprehensive regulatory system for
the [radio transmission] industry” and “to maintain control
of the United States over all channels of radio transmission.”
See, e.g., Head, 374 U.S. at 430 n.6; National Broadcasting
Co., 319 U.S. at 214-217. Permitting Petitioner’s attempt at
regulating RFI would seriously impede the FCC’s ability to
Carry Out its statutory mandate of administering a
“unified and comprehensive regulatory system” for the
telecommunications industry. See FCC v. Pottsville Broad.
Co., 309 U.S. 134, 137 (1940). Furthermore, as noted by the
12
court below, “[a] patchwork of varied local regulations across
the country would prevent a functional national
telecommunications network”, and frustrate the objectives
of federal law. (Pet. App. A, 17a). As such, no question as
to the Communications Act’s implied preemption over
Petitioner’s attempts to regulate RFI through its Interference
Amendment exists which merits this Court’s review.
CONCLUSION
Petitioner’s conclusion suggests that “if the opinion
below is allowed to stand, . . . Petitioner will be dependent
upon non-local federal procedures to resolve instances of
interference with public safety operations. ...” (Pet. 17)
(emphasis added). Of course, avoiding multiple and varied
local procedures to resolve instances of RFI, an area within
the FCC’s exclusive jurisdiction, is wholly consistent with
the “clear and manifest” intent of Congress to provide a
“unified and comprehensive regulatory system for the [radio
airwave transmission] industry.” The fact that Petitioner’s
police, fire, and emergency service providers may not be
fully comfortable with the administrative remedies which
are Clearly available to Petitioner in the event of an RFI
incident, simply does not warrant this Court’s review of its
well-established legal standards for analysis of implied
preemption of state and local regulations by federal law.
Both the district court and the circuit court of appeals
below correctly found Petitioner’s Interference Amendment
impliedly preempted by the Federal Communications Act
of 1934, as amended. As such, and for all the foregoing
reasons, no just cause exists for this Court’s review of those
decisions at this time and Petitioner’s Petition should be
denied.
