Public Notice, 77 FR 32092, May 31,
2012, the Bureaus identified census
blocks eligible for the Mobility Fund
Phase I support to be offered in Auction
901. The Bureaus also released files
containing detailed information about
these census blocks in a number of data
formats, and a file with information
about the more than 14,000 biddable
geographic areas for Auction 901. These
biddable items include: (1) The census
tract-level aggregations of eligible
census blocks, (2) separate aggregations
of Tribal blocks and non-Tribal blocks
for tracts that contain some eligible
blocks that are in a Tribal land and
other eligible blocks that are not in a
Tribal land, and (3) individual eligible
census blocks in Alaska. The Bureaus
now announce the availability of
updated versions of these files, which
are available via the link for
‘‘Attachment A Files’’ at https://

than 1 mile; and (2) Fewer than 200 of
the more than 14,000 biddable items
have changes of at least 1 road mile and
more than 25% of the previous total
road miles.
