Bill overview
This bill, the Undersea Cable Protection Act of 2025, aims to protect the integrity of national marine sanctuaries by preventing the Department of Commerce from requiring additional authorizations for existing undersea fiber optic cable installations. It ensures that if a federal or state agency has already authorized a cable’s installation, operation, or maintenance, Commerce cannot impose further restrictions. The bill also encourages interagency collaboration to safeguard marine sanctuary resources related to these cables.
