Bill > HR1039

This bill, the Coastal Broadband Deployment Act, proposes to exempt certain communications facility projects from the environmental and historical preservation review requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Specifically, the bill would provide that a project for the deployment or modification of a communications facility entirely within a floodplain is not subject to these review requirements, as long as the project requires a permit, license, or approval from the Federal Communications Commission or is otherwise subject to the Commission's jurisdiction.
