The FCC has outlined three critical agenda items for its upcoming meeting on August 7. Key focuses include revising environmental regulations to align with NEPA for faster infrastructure deployment. A proposed rulemaking seeks to examine existing regulations to ensure they promote efficiency and clarity. Additionally, a proposal aims to enhance protection for submarine cables, implementing strict measures against foreign adversaries. The commission aims to improve security and streamline processes regarding cable licensing and cybersecurity requirements, as well as encouraging advancements in space-based communication technologies.
The FCC's Build America Agenda aims to unleash new infrastructure projects in communities all across the country. To do that, the FCC cannot let red tape and permitting obstacles stand in the way.
As President Trump, the Supreme Court, and Congress have recognized, NEPA is one of the biggest obstacles to building in America. It should not take years to complete preconstruction environmental paperwork before a shovel hits the ground.
