Keep It Moving Act

Summary

Imposes strict, short deadlines and notice rules on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for processing applications to transfer control of or assign communications licenses. It creates automatic "deemed complete" consequences if the FCC misses initial completeness-determination or amendment-deadline windows, sets required public-notice timing, and mandates overall statutory deadlines for final FCC decisions, with limited extensions when national-security review or formal information requests occur.

• Creates fixed, short deadlines for the FCC to determine completeness of transfer/assignment filings and to issue public notices.
• Failure by the FCC to meet the 15-day (initial) or 5-day (amendment) completeness-notice windows causes the filing to be deemed complete automatically.
• Requires the FCC to issue a final decision on covered applications generally within 180 days of public notice, with extensions to 1 year (and up to 90 extra days in limited circumstances) when formal information requests or foreign-participation review occur.
• Treats FCC not-complete determinations as administratively reviewable orders; successful reviews can cause filings to be deemed complete retroactively.
• Speeds public notice and comment processes by mandating a public notice within 7 days after completeness is determined or deemed.
• Includes procedural interaction with the interagency foreign-participation review process, affecting applications involving foreign ownership or national-security concerns.
• Shifts timing pressure onto both applicants (to cure deficiencies quickly) and the FCC (to meet statutory deadlines), and creates default consequences for agency delays.
• Does not, in the provided text, appropriate new funds or change substantive license standards; it primarily changes review timing and procedure.
