(1) There are seven "record types" in this file, each corresponding to a type of governmental unit: federal, state, county, municipality, township, special district, and school district. All seven record types have the same technical characteristics. Records for local governments in metropolitan areas carry FIPS MSA codes. (2) The technical documentation incorrectly lists the number of records as 21,933 and the record length as 14,000--the correct number of records is actually 21,999 and the record length is 7,400.
