Output: Communications Facilities Deployment on Federal Property Act of 2018 This bill amends the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 to require the General Services Administration (GSA) to create a common form and to establish a common processing fee for applications for easements, rights-of-way, and leases relating to communications facility installations on federal property.  The GSA must develop a master contract for the placement of communications facility installations on federal property.
