Public engagement, stakeholder coordination, and transparency are a central part of working to close the digital divide. Both of NTIA’s State-formula grant programs, the Broadband Equity and Deployment (BEAD) Program and the State Digital Equity Planning Grant Program, have public disclosure and comment requirements to facilitate community engagement and input into each State and Territory’s plans and proposals for using grant funds. Below are public comment and disclosure links hosted by States and Territories to facilitate public input into key elements of their Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program plans and proposals and the State Digital Equity Plans. For more information on the programs and State and Territory submission requirements, including BEAD Five Year Action Plans and Initial Proposal and Digital Equity (DE) Plans, please see each program’s Notices of Funding Opportunity.
