American Broadband Deployment Act of 2025

This legislation aims to streamline the deployment of wireless infrastructure by exempting certain eligible facilities requests from specific environmental and historical preservation reviews. It proposes amendments to section 6409(a)(3) of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 to implement these changes. Specifically, the bill stipulates that a Federal authorization for an eligible facilities request will not be considered a major Federal action under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), thereby exempting it from NEPA review requirements. Additionally, an eligible facilities request will not be considered an undertaking under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), removing the need for historical preservation reviews. The legislation broadly defines "Federal authorization" to encompass all necessary permits, certifications, and approvals required under Federal law for such requests.
