WASHINGTON, September 7, 2024 – House Republicans plan to put the Biden administration's top broadband funding program under a microscope Tuesday, but no one representing the White House is scheduled to testify.

House BEAD Witness List and Memo
The House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology is holding the hearing mainly to amplify Republican concerns about the Commerce Department's management of the $44.45 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program.
In July, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., and Communications and Technology Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Bob Latta, R-Oh., opened an investigation into the National Telecommunications and Information Administration's handling of state BEAD plans.
