DIGITAL Applications Act
HR 3299, the DIGITAL Applications Act, requires the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to create online portals for processing Form 299 applications. These applications are permits needed for telecommunications companies to place equipment on public lands or National Forest System lands. The bill mandates that departments establish these portals within one year of enactment, publish links to them online, and notify the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. It streamlines an existing administrative process but does not change the requirements for obtaining land access permits.
