BEAD Recommended De-Obligation Locations

The Virginia Office of Broadband (Va OoB) has posted a file on the Virginia Open Data Portal that identifies locations that BEAD applicants may consider including in their applications for de-obligation. 

**This file was updated on June 17th for the Benefit of the Bargain Round. This update includes adding 962 locations to this list which were removed from the National Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric between Version 5 and Version 6.**
 
The list includes both those locations identified by the Va OoB as served in Version 5 of the National Broadband Map and not likely to require special construction costs, as well as those locations received and preliminarily reviewed/approved by the Va OoB based on submissions from stakeholders.
 
The Va OoB encourages all BEAD applicants to review this list and, upon consideration, verification, and any additions, upload the list as a de-obligation file in the CAMS portal for their BEAD application. If BEAD applicants are proposing to submit additional locations for de-obligation, applicants must submit the required evidence for these locations. If the provisionally awarded subgrantee has utilized this de-obligation file in their submission, the Va OoB will utilize the evidence submitted by stakeholders under the previously conducted process to document these de-obligations when submitted to NTIA in Virginia’s BEAD Final Proposal. BEAD applicants do not need to upload evidence for de-obligations for locations already in this file when they submit their applications in CAMS.
