The Deployment Locations Map shall be— the centralized, authoritative source of information on funding made available by the Federal Government for broadband infrastructure deployment in the United States; and made publicly available on the website of the Commission.
In establishing the Deployment Locations Map, the Commission shall ensure that the Deployment Locations Map— compiles data related to Federal funding for broadband infrastructure deployment provided by the Commission, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences, and any other Federal agency that provides such data relating to broadband infrastructure deployment funding to the Commission, including funding under— this Act; the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ( Public Law 116–136 ); the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 ( Public Law 116–260 );

The Commission shall, in consultation with relevant Federal agencies, ensure the Deployment Locations Map is maintained and up to date on a periodic basis, but not less frequently than once every 180 days. Each Federal agency providing funding for broadband infrastructure deployment shall report relevant data to the Commission on a periodic basis. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the programmatic missions of Federal agencies providing funding for broadband infrastructure development.
The requirements in this section shall be consistent with and avoid duplication with the provisions of section 903 of division FF of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 ( Public Law 116–260 ).
