- Broadband
Summary: 19 million Americans sill lack access to high-speed intemet. It is well past time to
bridge America’s digital divide and build a 21st century broadband infrastructure that will meet
our country’s needs not only today, but for years to come. The bipartisan infrastructure plan
invests $65 billion to address our nation’s digital divide once and for all.

+ Grants to states for deployment: $40 billion

© This funding supports a formula-based grant program to states, territories and the
Districtof Columbia for the purposesofbroadband deployment. The program
does not favor particular technologies or providers. Projects would have to meet a
minimum download/upload build standard of 100/20 megabits per second.
© The funding includes 10% set-aside for high-cost areas and each state and
territory receives an initial minimum allocation, a portionofwhich could be used
for technical assistance and supporting or establishing a state broadband office.
© States would be required to have enforceable plans to address alloftheir unserved
areas before they are able to fund deployment projects in underserved areas. After
both unserved and underserved areas are addressed, states may use funds for
anchor institution projects.

- + Private Activity Bonds (PABS): S600 million

© Basedoff the Rural Broadband Financing Flexibility Act (S.1676), a Hassan-
Capito proposal, this provision allows states 0 issue PABS to finance broadband
deployment, specifically for projects in rural arcas where a majorityof households
do not have access to broadband.

+ Support for Rural Areas: S2 billion

© The provision includes supports for programs administered by the U.S.

Department of Agriculture, including the ReConnect Program, that provide loans
and grants (or a combinationof loans and grants) to fund the construction,
acquisition or improvement of facilities and equipment that provide broadband
service in rural areas
* “Middle Mile”

‘© This provision would create a state grant program for the construction,
improvement or acquisition of middle-mile infrastructure. Eligible entities include
telecommunications companies, technology companies, electric utilities, utility
cooperative, etc. The “middle mile” refers to the installation ofa dedicated line
that transmits a signal to and from an internet Pointof Presence. ‘Competition of
‘middle-mile routes is necessary to serve areas, reducing capital expenditures, and
- lowering operating costs.

+ TribalGrants: 52billion
© This provision will provide additional funding to the Tribal Broadband
Connectivity Program, which was established by the December COVID-19 relief
package and is administered by NTIA. Grants from this program will be made
available to eligible Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian
entities for broadband deployment as well as for digital inclusion, workforce
development, telehealth and distance leaming.
«Inclusion: 52.75 billion
© Includes the Digital Equity Act. This legislation introduced by Senators Murray,
Portman and King establishes two NTIA-administered grant programs (formula
based and competitive) to promote digital inclusion and equity for communities
that lack the skill, technologies and support needed to take advantage of
broadband connections. The legislation also tasks NTIA with evaluating digital
inclusion projects and providing policymakers at the local, state and federal levels
with detailed information about which projects are most effective.
«Affordability
- © This provision would devote additional funds to the FCC's Emergency Broadband
Benefit (EBB) program, which subsidizes broadband service for eligible
households—defined as those that suffered income loss during the pandemic or
meet other need-based criteria, such as eligibility for school lunch programs. This
program is being renamed the Low-Income Broadband Benefit and the subsidy
will be provided at a lower rate (down to $30 fromanoriginal $50 per month), to
extend its longevity across the 5-year budget window.

As currently writen, there are no Davis-Bacon® or prevailing wage provisions.
Broadband - JCT estimate S600 million
‘The bipartisan Rural Broadband Financing Flexibility Act 5.1676) is template for adding
broadband as an allowable use for private activitybonds (PAB). This the would allow states
issue PABS to finance broadband deployment, specifically for projects in rural areas wheretoa
majority of households do not haveaccessto broadband. Adding broadband build outs in
unserved arcas as a qualified use will atract capital and businesses in areas that otherwise may
not be atractiveto investment,

Surface Transportation — JCT estimate S500 million
‘The framework increases the current capoftax-exempt highway or surface freight transfer
facility bonds from S15 billion to $30 billion as proposed by the bipartisan BUILD Act (5.881).
Currently, $14,989,529,000 billionofthe S15 billion cap has been issued or allocated. Increasing
the cap will allow state and local governments to enter into additional public-private partnerships
to supplement future surface transportation projects with private investment.

and state governments from predatory public-private-partnership agreements.
Value for Money Analysis Requirement:
Requires applicants for TIFIA and Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing loans for
projects over $750 million in costs to conduct a Value for Money (VM) analysis in order to
evaluate the benefits ofa P3 financing option for significant projects. While a majorityof states
have P3 enabling laws, financing a project through a P3 model can be complex and costly. This
leads to the underutilizationofthe P3 option. Evaluating the valueofthe P3 model is an
important step that is not always taken.
Conducting a VIM analysis helps a public entity explore the P3 model against traditional public-
sector funding and financing. Through a reviewofprojected,
VIM ensures that states and localities are giving the P3 modelrisk-adjus ted life-cycle costs, a
a fair shot. Through focusing on
those projects secking TIFIA and RRIF loans, DOT will be able to report to Congress on the true
wilizationof the P3 financing model for those projectsof which the P3 model is best suited.

- Permitting Provisions
‘The permitting provisions include the following components:
“The bill includes S. 2324, the Federal Permitting Reform and Jobs Act, which will lift sunset on
FAST-41, which is set 0 expire in December 2022, and expand and improve upon is current
authorities. In 2015, Senators Portman and McCaskill co-sponsored the Federal Permitting
Improvement Act, which Congress ultimately enacted into law as Title 41 of the Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. That law, now known as FAST-41, significantly
reformed the federal infrastructure permitting process. while leaving environmental protections
in place. Most significantly, it created the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council
(Permitting Council), which brings together agencies at the start ofthe permitting process for
some of the largest, most complicated infrastructure projects to prepare a comprehensive plan for
the permitting process across agencies. Those projects, known as covered projects, must be
subject to NEPA and generally must be likely to require $200 million or more of investment,
unless the Permitting Council believes a project would benefit from enhanced coordination and
is likely to require authorizations from more than two federal agencies. The public can track the
permitting progress for eachof those projects at wwiw.permits performance. gov.
Since FAST-41 became law, the Permitting Council has helped more than 50 projects with their
permitting processes, saved projects more than abillion dollars, reduced permitting timelines
substantially, helped project sponsors create more than a hundred thousand jobs, and resolved
-~ numerous interagency conflicts. This bill will make FAST-41 permanent; expand FAST-41
benefits to tribal projects; set a two-year goal for permitting covered projects; encourage federal
agencies to use one document to track permitting decisions (“One Federal Decision”); and
improve the PermittingCouncil'sday-to-day operations.
The bill also includes the project delivery provisions of the Surface Transportation
Reauthorization Act of 2021, which includes numerous permitting reforms for Title 23 highway
projects. It will codify One Federal Decision for highway projects, which sets a two-year goal
for completing the environmental review and permitting process for major projects and requires.
agencies to coordinate ona predictable, joint schedule. Federal agencies are also directed to
adopt categorical exclusions that would improve the timelinessof the process. Additionally, the
Secretaryof the Department of Transportation will be charged with identifying impediments to
the permitting process, developing best practices and improving transparency
