Model Siting Ordinance, Checklist Set for Release, Say CTIA, PCIA

CTIA and PCIA representatives told FCC officials they expect to wrap up shortly a checklist and model ordinance to help local governments implement new FCC rules on speeding up wireless siting decisions (see 1410170048). The associations have been holding monthly discussions since December with the National League of Cities, the National Association of Counties, NATOA and the U.S. Conference of Mayors, CTIA and PCIA said in a filing in docket 13-238. “The goal of the parties is to produce a toolkit of materials that will help resource-constrained municipalities implement the new rules promulgated by the FCC’s Acceleration of Broadband Deployment Report and Order that implement and define terms of Section 6409(a) of the Spectrum Act,” said the filing.
