Bill > HR1049

This bill, the Expediting Federal Broadband Deployment Reviews Act, requires the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information to establish an interagency strike force to increase the prioritization of reviews for communications use authorizations by the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture. The strike force will conduct periodic calls, monitor and facilitate accountability, and report to Congress on its effectiveness in streamlining the review process for these authorizations, which are needed for the placement and operation of communications facilities on public lands and national forests.
