Internet companies would get more updates on applications to build broadband on public lands.
This bill would require a Commerce Department official to make a plan for tracking applications to build internet facilities on public lands. This plan would also aim to give companies clearer updates on their application status. The goal is to make the process easier for those working to expand internet access.
Currently, there is no federal rule requiring the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information to track applications for building internet facilities on public lands or to provide updates to applicants. If this bill becomes law, the Assistant Secretary would have to create and submit a plan within 180 days to track these applications and offer more transparency to companies.
