The new guidance released by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick removes previous regulations such as labor and climate reporting requirements and shifts from a 'fiber first' strategy to a technology-neutral approach, allowing states to use funds for various broadband technologies including low-Earth orbit satellites and fixed wireless. States are required to comply with new guidelines within 90 days, including conducting an additional subgrantee selection process and using a new Environmental Screening and Permitting Tracking Tool to expedite broadband permitting. |
