Get the data
No download is available for this dataset yet. It is catalogued here so the record layout and code lookups are at least written down.
What this is
The same monthly permit master as OGA049, with the trailer record types included: the field-by-field detail lines that hang off a permit root record, one per permitted field.
A permit can name more than one field. The master alone flattens that; the master-and-trailer file keeps the hierarchy.
What you can do with it
Recover the full permitted-field list for a permit, which the flat master cannot express, and reproduce the record hierarchy the RRC layout describes.
Gotchas
Trailer records are keyed to the root by position in the file, not by a repeated permit number, so the file has to be read sequentially — you cannot sort it and keep the relationships.
EZRRC does not parse this file. Upstream has not built a reader for it yet, so the catalog documents it and links to the Commission's own copy rather than pretending to serve rows it does not have.
