What does provisional mean for Mount Rose Northeast?

Provisional is OSIT's word for the whole list, Mount Rose Northeast included: the plan that NTIA approved, announced January 8, 2026, is subject to NTIA curing and NIST final review and award. The Governor said at the time that deployment of BEAD projects was expected to begin in mid-2026 and that construction would occur over the next four years; Mount Rose Northeast is one of 17 Washoe County projects on that timeline. For Mount Rose Northeast that means the December 2029 end date and the count of 88 locations could both move, and the project could change in shape or in who builds it.

The state's earlier approval, January 16, 2025, was rescinded after NTIA's June 6, 2025 policy notice, and Nevada re-ran its round; the Mount Rose Northeast record here comes from the revised plan. So treat every Mount Rose Northeast figure on this page as the plan as of October 15, 2026, when the files were read.
