withdrawing its Notice of Intent to
Prepare Supplemental Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statements

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job
Creation Act of 2012 (47 U.S.C. 1401 et
seq.) created and authorized the FirstNet
Authority to take all actions necessary
to ensure the building, deployment, and
operation of an interoperable NPSBN.
As part of NPSBN deployment, the
FirstNet Authority is required to comply
with the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)
(NEPA) and the implementing
regulations issued by the Council on
Environmental Quality (40 CFR parts
1500–1508) (CEQ Regulations) to assess
the environmental effects of its
proposed actions prior to making a final
decision and implementing the action.
To support NEPA compliance, the
FirstNet Authority prepared and
finalized five regional programmatic
environmental impact statements
(PEISs) that analyze the potential
environmental impacts of the
deployment and operation of the

NPSBN at a programmatic level.1
However, prior to completing the PEISs
and issuing corresponding records of
decision (RODs), the FirstNet Authority
was still in the process of revising the
FirstNet Authority Procedures for
Implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act (FirstNet
Authority NEPA Procedures) and
identified a potential need to account
for these changes in the PEISs and
RODs.2
Consequently, on September 25, 2017,
the FirstNet Authority published a
notice of intent (NOI) in the Federal
Register to prepare SPEISs to address
the potential impact of the FirstNet
Authority NEPA Procedures as well as
the process the FirstNet Authority
would follow to assess potential
environmental impacts of the NPSBN
deployment at the site specific-level.3
Similarly, the FirstNet Authority also
included comparable language relating
to its intent to prepare SPEISs in each
of the RODS.4
Subsequently, on February 1, 2018,
following the issuance of the NOI and
RODs for each region, the FirstNet
Authority completed the regulatory
process for and published in the Federal
Register a notice responding to
comments and finalizing its proposed
modifications to the FirstNet Authority
NEPA Procedures.5 The revised FirstNet
