House, Senate Appropriators Would Provide NTIA $50 Million for FY2026
Lawmakers would ask for a briefing on the agency's “plans and timeline for expending all remaining” BEAD funds.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 2026 – Appropriators from both chambers of Congress would allocate $50 million to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration through September 30, 2026.
That’s down from $57 million in fiscal year 2025 but above President Donald Trump’s request of $46 million.
The bill, released Monday and yet to be cleared by the House or Senate, would provide an additional $1 million for building maintenance, in line with the White House request.
