Chairwoman Rosenworcel’s Response to Senators Fischer and Masto Regarding Broadband Deployment Locations Map

Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel sent letters to Sens Deb Fischer (R-NE) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) in response to their letter on the FCC’s efforts to implement the Broadband Deployment Locations Map. In the April 15, 2022 letter, Rosenworcel said the FCC began efforts to implement the broadband map following the enactment of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. She said on Feb 14, 2022, the FCC executed a contract modification with the developer of the IT systems with responsibility for the Broadband Data Collection to configure, develop and deploy the additional functionality needed to implement the broadband map. Rosenworcel also said the FCC engaged in extensive coordination with other federal agencies on the implementation of this effort.
