改组美国农业部技术援助拨款，帮助农村社区规划、建设和融资宽带网络。
详细内容
本立法修订了《1936年农村电气化法》，将重组用于农村宽带扩展的技术援助拨款。农业部部长将向帮助农村社区规划和建设宽带网络的私营、非营利和公共组织发放拨款——涵盖诸如准备拨款和贷款申请、开展可行性研究和市场调查、收集宽带基础设施数据，以及改善宽带提供商财务管理等工作。符合条件的受助方涵盖广泛的组织类型，包括部落政府、州和地方政府、高等院校（包括历史悠久的黑人院校和西语裔服务机构）、501(c)(3)非营利组织、合作社、公司以及有限责任公司，并优先考虑已具备农村技术援助经验的组织。本法案未设定具体的资金金额或拨款上限；它指示部长在现有授权下发放拨款，同时扩大申请资格范围和合格服务范围。该措施主要影响目前高速互联网服务不足的农村居民、农民和小企业。
国会摘要
Rural Broadband Assistance Act This bill provides statutory authority for a grant program that supports the provision of technical assistance and training to facilitate rural broadband expansion. This program is administered by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is known as the Broadband Technical Assistance program. Under the program, USDA makes grants to organizations that will provide or receive broadband-related technical assistance and training. This assistance and training must support expanded broadband access in rural communities. Grantees may provide or receive assistance and training related to (1) identifying broadband funding sources; (2) preparing applications for broadband funding; and (3) improving operations of existing broadband facilities, among other topics. The bill requires USDA to prioritize applicants that have experience providing technical assistance and training to rural entities. Separately, the bill repeals a requirement related to the use of certain funds for a database of rural broadband projects, reporting requirements, and oversight of related USDA broadband programs.
