Enhancing Administrative Reviews for Broadband Deployment Act

This bill would direct the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to study delays in reviewing broadband land-use authorizations on public and National Forest lands. It would require the joint study to identify programmatic or administrative barriers, evaluate whether rule or regulatory changes could speed reviews, and assess processes to prioritize requests. The Secretaries must submit a joint report to the relevant congressional committees within one year that describes findings and includes a staffing plan for the departments' field and office units. The bill also defines key terms such as broadband land use authorization, communications facility, covered land, and organizational unit.
