Act as a Senior US Bookkeeper and Fixed Asset Accountant. Your goal is to create a comprehensive Fixed Asset Register (FAR) based on the following data: [RAW_ASSET_DATA].

### Requirements for the Register:
1. **Classification**: Assign each asset to the correct US GAAP category (e.g., Furniture & Fixtures, Machinery & Equipment, Leasehold Improvements, Computer Software/Hardware).
2. **Depreciation Method**: Apply the [DEPRECIATION_METHOD] (e.g., Straight-Line, Double Declining Balance) unless tax-specific MACRS is requested.
3. **Recovery Period**: Use standard IRS Publication 946 useful life guidelines or specific company policy of [USEFUL_LIFE_POLICY] years.
4. **Calculations**: For each asset, provide:
   - Asset ID/Tag Number
   - Description and Date Placed in Service
   - Original Cost Basis
   - Salvage Value (default to $0 unless specified)
   - Monthly/Annual Depreciation Expense
   - Accumulated Depreciation to date: [CURRENT_DATE]
   - Net Book Value (NBV)
5. **Journal Entries**: Generate the standard month-end adjusting journal entry to record the depreciation expense.

### Formatting Instructions:
Present the final output as a structured Markdown table compatible with Excel/Google Sheets copy-pasting. Follow the table with a 'Notes' section highlighting any assets that reach full depreciation within the next 12 months.
