The Broadband and Telecommunications RAIL Act amends the Communications Act of 1934 to streamline the deployment of telecommunications and broadband facilities in public rights-of-way and railroad rights-of-way. For facilities placed in public rights-of-way that intersect railroad corridors, providers need only notify the railroad carrier (not obtain approval) and cannot be charged fees by the railroad. For facilities placed directly in railroad rights-of-way, providers must submit applications that railroads must approve or deny within 60 days, with denials limited to cases where the facility would substantially interfere with railroad operations or safety; providers must pay railroads only for actual costs incurred. The bill establishes a Federal Communications Commission process for resolving disputes between providers and railroads.
