The final release data is published 12-15 months after the initial release of FARS, and could contain additional fatal accidents due to the delay in police reporting, toxicology reports, etc., along with changes to attribute information for previously reported fatal accidents. This file contain elements derived from the FARS datasets to make it easier to extract certain data classifications and topical areas.
