Broadband Competition and Efficient Deployment Act

This bill exempts certain broadband infrastructure projects from federal environmental (NEPA) and historic preservation (NHPA) review requirements. It specifically applies to telecom companies adding equipment to existing utility poles, towers, or similar infrastructure already approved for use. The exemption removes the need for environmental assessments when placing new equipment on "eligible support infrastructure" (like utility poles) without new construction. This directly affects telecom providers seeking faster deployment of broadband services on existing structures.
