Champaign, Detroit, Eastern Iowa, Enid, Keokuk, and Michigan were
the sole applicants for designation to provide official services in the

additional comments on them.

criteria in section 7(f)(l)(A) of the Act and, according to section
7(f)(l)(B), determined that Champaign, Detroit, Eastern Iowa, Enid,
