What this amendment would do

Mrs. Shaheen submitted this amendment to the bill. The purpose of this amendment is to add a new section that creates an accelerated timeline for applications regarding easements, rights-of-way, and leases.

The amendment aims to change the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012.
It adds a special rule for certain U.S. Customs and Border Protection property owned by the Department of Homeland Security and located less than 100 miles from an international land border.
Under this addition, the Secretary of Homeland Security must grant or deny an application to install, construct, modify, or maintain a communications facility installation not later than 120 days after receiving it.
If the Secretary fails to grant or deny the application within that 120 days, the regional official of U.S. Customs and Border Protection who oversees the property is allowed to grant or deny the application.
