Requires federal agencies to study how to speed up internet projects on public lands.
This bill would require the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture to study why it takes time to approve requests for internet facilities on public lands and national forests. They would then create a plan to make these reviews faster, potentially helping bring internet services to more areas.
Today, companies seeking to place internet facilities on public lands or national forests may face delays in getting approvals from federal agencies. If this bill becomes law, the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture would be required to study these delays and create a plan within one year to ensure these reviews are handled more quickly, potentially leading to faster internet project development.
