Title: Broadband Infrastructure Deployment 
Abstract:

This rulemaking would implement section 607 of the Mobile Now Act, as included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (Pub. L. 115-141). Section 607 directs the Secretary of Transportation to promulgate regulations to ensure that each State that receives funds under chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.), meets certain requirements to facilitate the installation of broadband infrastructure. The requirements include broadband consultation among the State department of transportation and appropriate State agencies and a requirement that a State that chooses to provide for the installation of broadband infrastructure in the right-of-way of a Federal-aid highway project under this regulation carry out any appropriate measures to ensure that any existing broadband infrastructure entities are not disadvantaged, as compared to other broadband infrastructure entities, with respect to the program under this regulation.
