In 1994, a driver was recorded as drinking in 40.8% of fatal crashes in North Dakota and 33.2% in the United States.

The set of first files, known as the Annual Report File (ARF), is released following the crash year. The ARF is replaced about a year later with a final file, which contains additional cases or updates to cases that had become available after the ARF was released.
