This bill establishes exemptions for certain projects involving the removal and replacement of communications equipment or services from specific federal review requirements. It mandates that a **Federal authorization** for a **covered project** will not be considered a **major Federal action** under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). This exemption aims to simplify and accelerate the process for upgrading critical communications infrastructure. Additionally, the legislation specifies that a **covered project** will not be considered an **undertaking** under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). A **covered project** is precisely defined as one that permanently removes communications equipment or services listed under the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 and replaces them with non-covered alternatives. This provision applies to any required federal permits, certifications, or other approvals for such projects.
