What it does
The Coastal Broadband Deployment Act would exempt certain communications facility projects located entirely within floodplains from federal environmental and historical preservation review requirements. Specifically, it would prevent such projects from being considered major federal actions under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or undertakings under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) when they require Federal Communications Commission authorization. The bill applies to projects for deploying or modifying communications facilities in floodplains as defined by federal regulations, aiming to streamline broadband deployment in coastal areas.
