U.S. Government Continues Fast-tracking Permits to Enable More Broadband Projects
Briefly

The Biden Administration has made significant moves to expedite infrastructure projects, particularly broadband permitting, by processing twice the number of permits compared to the previous regime.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration has implemented 36 categorical exclusions that simplify the permitting process, significantly reducing potential delays related to historic preservation and endangered species compliance.
By investing at least $560 billion in over 68,000 projects, the administration is not just focusing on broadband, but also enhancing clean energy, transportation, and renewable energy projects.
Actions under the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Permitting Reform Implementation Rule are designed to streamline and speed up federal environmental reviews, making crucial headway for energy projects.
