AI-generated summary. Written by a language model from the bill's exact official Congress.gov CRS summary — not by a person, and not a substitute for the bill text. Vote counts, sponsors and dates above come from the official record, not from this summary. How we build this.
The bill creates an interagency strike force to speed up the federal review process for communications use authorizations on public lands. This authorization is required whenever someone wants to build or modify communications facilities—such as broadband infrastructure—on federal property. The strike force must include leadership from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, all federal land management agencies, and officials designated by the Department of Agriculture and Department of the Interior.
The strike force would operate by holding regular meetings to ensure member agencies prioritize these authorization requests, setting specific review goals, and tracking whether agencies meet those goals. The bill requires the strike force to report back to Congress on how well it is working to expedite the review process. By centralizing coordination and establishing clear benchmarks, the strike force aims to reduce delays in deploying communications infrastructure on federal lands.
Key provisions
- Creates an interagency strike force to support federal land management agencies' review of communications use authorization requests.

- Strike force must establish goals for reviewing communications use authorization requests on public lands.
- Strike force must monitor and facilitate agency accountability for meeting established review goals.
