Derived at 20 stations. Also published by NGA in GeoTrans v3.4 software with parameter values rounded to integer.
The same transformation with common GIS tools and libraries:
from pyproj import Transformer
transformer = Transformer.from_crs("EPSG:4721", "EPSG:4326", always_xy=True)
x, y = transformer.transform(-73.9857, 40.7484)
