Section 6409 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, commonly known as the “Spectrum Act”
(Pub. Law No. 112-96, 126 Stat 156), mandates that state and local governments “may not deny, and shall approve, any
eligible facilities request for a modification of an existing wireless tower or base station that does not substantially
change the physical dimensions of such tower or base station.” Additionally, if “the reviewing State or local government
determines that the application is incomplete” [they] “must provide written notice to the applicant within 30 days of
receipt of the application, clearly and specifically delineating all missing documents or information.” Under federal law,
an Eligible Facilities Request is deemed granted with written notification in sixty (60) days after an application is filed
with a local jurisdiction, excluding tolling. Based on the submittal date of August 3, 2020, 30 days will expire on
September 2, 2020; 60 days will expire on October 2, 2020.
