AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill says that projects placing, building, or changing a telecommunications facility on existing infrastructure that already supports or houses wired communication facilities would not need certain federal environmental or historic preservation reviews. It applies to projects that need a permit, license, or approval from the Federal Communications Commission or that otherwise fall under its authority. Federal approvals for these projects would not count as a "major Federal action" under the National Environmental Policy Act. These projects also would not count as an "undertaking" under the National Historic Preservation Act.
