3060-AM25 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 3060 Federal Communications Commission FCC Build America: Eliminating Barriers to Wireless Deployments NPRM (WT Docket No. 25-276)

The FCC seeks to clarify and potentially expand upon the Commission’s rulings under certain permitting provisions of section 6409(a) of the Spectrum Act of 2012 that expedite state or local approval of certain modifications of existing tower and wireless base stations. It seeks to clarify the meaning of concealment elements, which are used by builders to minimize the visual impact of towers and other wireless infrastructure, and to codify these clarifications in section 1.6100 of the Commission’s rules. The FCC also asks for comment on other changes that the Commission should consider making to section 1.6100, such as changes related to siting conditions, to further streamline wireless permitting proceedings and facilitate the rapid buildout of wireless infrastructure.
