Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Summary
The bill amends the Communications Act to require the FCC to decide within set timeframes whether an application is complete, to publish public notices, and to issue a final decision within 180 days or up to one year for certain foreign‑participation reviews. It applies to any entity seeking to transfer or assign a communications license and gives applicants a way to compel the FCC to act if deadlines are missed. The goal is to speed up the licensing process and provide certainty for businesses and the public.
