WASHINGTON, March 14, 2024 – In a move seeking to accelerate broadband deployment while honoring indigenous communities, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation approved an amendment Wednesday mandating compensation for certain Tribal assistance on federal broadband projects.

This development responds to a request from the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration, and emerges within the framework of an amended program comment by ACHP.
