“Wireless telecommunications networks require towers and
antennas; proposed sites for those towers and antennas must be approved by local zoning
authorities. In the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Congress “impose[d]
specific limitations on the traditional authority of state and local
governments to regulate the location, construction, and modification of such facilities,”
Rancho Palos Verdes v. Abrams, 544 U. S. 113, 115 (2005), and
incorporated those limitations into the Communications Act of 1934, see 110
Stat. 56, 151. Section 201(b) of that Actem powers the Federal Communications
Commission to “prescribe such rules and regulations as may be necessary in the
public interest to carry out [its] provisions.”
“The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (NCVIA or
Act) established a no-fault compensation system to stabilize the vaccine market
and expedite compensation to injured parties. Bruesewitz v. Wyeth LLC, 562 U.
S. ___, ___–___. Under the Act, “[a] proceeding for compensation” is
“initiated” by “service upon the Secretary” of Health and Human Services and
“the filing of a petition containing” specified documentation with the clerk of
the Court of Federal Claims, who then “immediately” forwards the petition for
assignment to a special master. 42 U. S. C. §300aa–11(a)(1).”
