“We welcome the new guidance from NTIA on National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews, which will help ensure there are no unnecessary delays when it comes to completing broadband projects funded by the once-in-a-generation BEAD program. This guidance will allow providers to make efficient and critical deployment decisions to get communities connected, faster. We appreciate NTIA’s continued leadership on our shared goal of getting more Americans online.”
