Is there some way to learn when an NTSB final accident report is
scheduled for release?
The usual rule of thumb for the typical accident is no less than 12
months or so before the final report comes out.

Many NTSB final reports come out a lot earlier than 12 months. For example, a lot of final reports
have been issued as of July 05 for accidents that took place in April 05. See
