Actually, each of us is supposed to perform the analysis and file the results in our "station records." Those used to be log books. Mine is in one of my station notebooks now. I used something on-line [ARRL?], it was quick and simple and I just printed it and pasted it into my notebook. It was awhile ago, and I'm not sure which physical notebook it's in, I may do it again if I can find the on-line calculator, just in case the FCC visits. :-)

It's by no means onerous, and no one is "sucking money" from us, it's free. Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation can and will cause a variety of biological problems. All we're doing is validating that the levels from our stations are within standards. Not everything the government does is always bad. If I can find the online resource I used, I'll post a URL here for those who may be newer and haven't done it yet.

And, Jim has already acknowledged the missing "not" between "will" and "pose" in his reply.

No, it's a verification that the proposed antenna and transmitter will
pose a biological hazard to people nearby. If you've read the FCC Rules
in the last 20 years, you will know that we are required to have done
such a study to confirm that we comply with FCC Standards, but we are
not required to file it.
