To align with continued transparency efforts of the Federal government, GSA’s Office of Government-wide Policy collaborated with the Office of Management and Budget and American Broadband Initiative leadership to have the EO 13821 report published on gsa.gov. As a result of that collaboration, the Q3 FY 2022 report, and subsequent reports, will be shared publicly on this site.
In February 2020, in collaboration with OMB and the Streamlining Federal Permitting Workgroup, GSA developed a more comprehensive approach for classifying the various stages that applications for broadband siting permits go through by adding two new categories—(1) date withdrawn and (2) date authorized. These changes to the reporting process were designed to reduce misunderstandings between the reporting agencies and GSA and standardize application timelines across agencies.
GSA uses data submitted annually to the Federal Real Property Profile Management System to identify federal property managing agencies who should be submitting data to GSA quarterly in accordance with EO 13821.
OMB approved the revised SF-299 on February 14, 2020. As a result, the SF-299, as revised, is now the exclusive form used by non-federal entities to request approval to install telecommunications equipment on federal assets and lands.
GSA distributes a questionnaire to agencies quarterly. A section of that questionnaire is formatted to allow agencies to submit detailed data about the applications for broadband sitting permits that have been submitted during the reporting quarter.
