Fiber Broadband Association Signs Letter by U.S. Chamber of Commerce Calling for Permitting Reform

Earlier today (9/2/2025), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce delivered a coalition letter to Members of Congress calling for comprehensive permitting reform. You can find the letter posted on the U.S. Chamber website here. This letter was signed by 529 organizations, including the Fiber Broadband Association, in support of the initiative.

Modernizing permitting systems will empower communities and businesses to invest in infrastructure that grows the economy, creates good-paying jobs, and improves quality of life. The coalition is united around four key principles:

• Predictability: Clear timelines and scope for project reviews.
• Efficiency: Improved interagency coordination to optimize resources.
• Transparency: Accessible visibility into project milestones and schedules.
• Stakeholder Input: Consistent opportunities for input from all relevant parties.
