Posts - Bill - S 2873 Undersea Cable Protection Act of 2025
senate 09/18/2025 - 119th Congress
We want to streamline the process for managing undersea fiber optic cables by preventing redundant federal authorization requirements within national marine sanctuaries when these activities have already been approved by other federal or state agencies. This aims to reduce delays and support efficient maintenance and operation of vital communication infrastructure.
