​The CARS Load File (also known as the Response File) provides refiling information collected centrally by the CARS process for those states participating in the testing pro­cess.  Data are loaded into the Refiling File through Job 114D, which first sorts the file by SESA ID (as a safeguard).  The actual loading process occurs in the EARRF14 program.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
