Lid

Location Identifier (LID) data mapping facility identifiers to facility types, names, and responsible control agencies

Source: NASRTable: LIDVersion: e25086c3e952 (effective 2026-04-16)

The unique record key is the combination of LOC_ID, CITY, and FAC_TYPE. Replaces the legacy LID.txt Subscriber File. A numeric suffix (e.g., '(2)') may be appended to Special Use Resource FAC_TYPE values when more than one exists for a LOC_ID/City pair.

Example query
