Bill > HR1055

This bill, the Federal Broadband Deployment Tracking Act, requires the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information to submit a plan to Congress on how to track requests for communications use authorization on federal land. The plan would describe how the Assistant Secretary will track the acceptance, processing, and disposal of FCC Form 299 (the application for communications facilities on federal lands) submitted by requesting parties. It would also address how to increase transparency on the status of these Form 299 applications and any barriers to implementing the tracking plan. The relevant congressional committees would receive this report from the Assistant Secretary within 180 days of the bill's enactment.
