Waives federal environmental and historic‑preservation reviews for certain communications projects in areas affected by a declared major disaster or wildfire. For these “covered projects,” any required federal permit or approval is not treated as a “major Federal action” under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the project is not an “undertaking” under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).

Defines key terms such as covered project, emergency, and Federal authorization to set the scope. The goal is to speed repair, replacement, hardening, or installation of communications infrastructure after disasters by removing NEPA and NHPA review steps. It does not provide funding or address state or local permitting rules.
