Remove the lowest state during electronic minimization

Dear all,

I am reading from F. Bottin slides on XPS with Abinit.

http://ftp.abinit.org/ws11/xps-new.pdf

Does anyone under stand what this phrase means:

"Create the core-hole self-consistently ("on the fly") by removing the lowest state during the electronic minimization."

Is this somehow related to the occ command?
