Abstract: This collection addresses the requirements of a voluntary process (A-CAM location adjustment process) to request a downward adjustment when there are fewer locations in eligible 2010 census blocks than the carrier has supported locations pursuant to its A-CAM authorization. It also addresses the process for removing RDOF unreasonable locations for carriers with more RDOF locations.
