    1. The Auction 901 Data Files Public Notice announces the 
availability of certain files that have been updated to conform to 
decisions previously announced by the Wireless Telecommunications 
Bureau and Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureaus). In the Auction 901 
Procedures Public Notice, 77 FR 32092, May 31, 2012, the Bureaus 
described how they identified census blocks eligible for the Mobility 
Fund Phase I support to be offered in Auction 901. With the Auction 901 
Procedures Public Notice, the Bureaus released Attachment A, a summary 
of the final list of eligible census blocks, and they concurrently 
provided more detailed Attachment A files in electronic format only. 
Subsequent to the release of the Auction 901 Procedures Public Notice, 
the Bureaus provided updates to some of the Attachment A files in two 
public notices. The Bureaus have since found that they need to correct 
some of these files to accurately reflect the determinations made in 
the Auction 901 Procedures Public Notice. Accordingly, the Bureaus are 
releasing a new Attachment A to replace the one released with the 
Auction 901 Procedures Public Notice, and they are updating some of the 
corresponding Attachment A files.
    2. The files for which the Bureaus now announce updates are 
available via the link for Attachment A Files at http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/901/. Specifically, the All Eligible Census 
Blocks file; the Biddable Items file; and the state spreadsheet files 
for Maryland, Oklahoma, and Nevada have been updated. Interested 
parties should use these files instead of previously-released versions.
    3. Concurrent with the release of Auction 901 Procedures Public 
Notice, the Bureaus released an interactive map of the eligible census 
blocks. The map is a visual representation of data from the Attachment 
A files, which contain more information and generally more detail than 
is displayed on the map. The Bureaus subsequently released geographic 
information system (GIS) formats of the data shown in the interactive 
map. The interactive map and the related GIS data formats will be 
updated in the near future to match the corrections in the Attachment A 
files. Once updated, the link for the map and each of the GIS data 
links will be displayed with a notation of when they were updated.
