The gridded difference file AB_CSRS.DAC in STEP 1 will need to be renamed to AB_CSRS.gsb to run in some software suites. Formats identical, but AB file is provincial fit only.

Engineering survey, topographic mapping.
State law defines system in International feet (note: not US survey feet). See code 2224 for equivalent non-metric definition. For applications with an accuracy of better than 1m, replaced by NAD83(HARN) / SPCS.
United States (USA) - Arizona - counties of La Paz; Mohave; Yuma.
Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (X,Y). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
