Federal Broadband Deployment Tracking Act
HR 3343 requires the Commerce Department to create a system tracking permit applications for installing broadband equipment on federal lands. Within 180 days, the Assistant Secretary must submit a plan detailing how agencies will monitor each application's status and reduce delays. This directly affects telecom companies seeking land permits and federal agencies managing public lands like national forests and Bureau of Land Management areas.
