AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would exempt projects that install small wireless facilities, where each antenna is no more than 3 cubic feet in volume, from federal environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act. It would also exclude these projects from review under the National Historic Preservation Act. If an Indian Tribe receives a complete FCC Form 620 or 621 and does not act on it within 45 days, the Tribe would be presumed to have given up interest in the project. A Tribe could overcome that presumption by showing the FCC or a court certain factors, such as the applicant failing to follow up with the Tribe within a set time window.
