## What this funds

In FY 2026, NTIA will administer Middle Mile grants through post award technical assistance, grant monitoring and oversight to guard against waste, fraud, and abuse. NTIA will also provide technical assistance for compliance with Federal Environmental Historical Preservation (EHP) and permitting requirements, including NTIA review and approval of required EHP documentation to enable project implementation and construction. In FY 2027, the grantees will continue the implementation of the Middle Mile projects. NTIA will continue to monitor project implementation and broadband deployment and provide technical assistance, review semi-annual performance and progress and financial reports, complete review and approval of awardee EHP submitted materials, and other key critical monitoring and grant oversight activities to promote awardee project implementation success and guard against waste, fraud, and abuse. In addition, some grant awards will be completed and start the close out process.
