This proposed legislation aims to increase transparency in the implementation of the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program . It specifically seeks to apply the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to the actions and decisions made by the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information in carrying out this program. To achieve this, the bill amends section 60102(o)(2) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This amendment ensures that FOIA's requirements for public access to government information will apply to the BEAD program, thereby promoting greater accountability in broadband infrastructure development.
