Economic Classification Policy Committee: Standard Industrial
Classification Replacement--The North American Industry Classification
System Proposed Industry Classification Structure

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the
President.

ACTION: Notice of solicitation of comments for North American Industry
Classification System industries.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under Title 44 U.S.C. 3504, the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) is seeking public comment on a series of notices
documenting the development of the new North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS), the industry classification system being
proposed to replace the current Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) system. All Federal agencies that collect establishment-based
data are expected to utilize the new system.
This notice, the fourth related to preparation of NAICS and the
second in a series seeking comment on proposed industry structures,
presents the proposed industry structure for the NAICS subsectors
listed in the Supplementary Information section below.
OMB is seeking comments on the usefulness and advisability of the
proposed new NAICS subsectors submitted by the Economic Classification
Policy Committee (ECPC), an interagency committee established by OMB.
Subsequent Federal Register notices will seek comment on other industry
sector and subsector proposals. A final Federal Register notice will
include the entire NAICS structure for public comment. NAICS is being
developed in cooperation with Statistics Canada and Mexico's Instituto
Nacional de Estadistica, Geografia e Informatica (INEGI). The new NAICS
system provides common industry definitions for Canada, Mexico, and the
United States to facilitate economic analyses that cover the economies
of the three North American countries. The three country collaboration
on an industry classification system for North America was announced
for public comment in the Federal Register, July 26, 1994, pp. 38092-
38096.
The July 26, 1994, Federal Register notice includes the concepts
for the new system, as developed by Statistics Canada, Mexico's INEGI,
and ECPC. It also includes a copy of the joint statement of the three
countries' statistical agencies regarding the development of NAICS.
That agreement includes the following principles:
(1) NAICS will be erected on a production-oriented, or supply-
based, conceptual framework. This means that producing units that use
identical or similar production processes will be grouped together in
NAICS.
(2) The system will give special attention to developing
production-oriented classifications for (a) new and emerging
industries, (b) service industries in general, and (c) industries
engaged in the production of advanced technologies.
(3) Time series continuity will be maintained to the extent
possible. However, changes in the economy and proposals from data users
must be considered. In addition, adjustments will be required for
sectors where the United States, Canada, and Mexico presently have
incompatible industry classification definitions in order to produce a
common industry system for all three North American countries.
(4) The system will strive for compatibility with the 2-digit level
of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic
Activities (ISIC, Rev. 3) of the United Nations.
ECPC Report No. 3--Summary of Public Responses to the Proposed New
North American Industry Classification Industry System provides a
summary of public comments received in response to the July 26, 1994,
Federal Register notice.
A notice was published in the Federal Register, July 26, 1995,
pp.38436-38452, requesting comment on proposed industry structures for
petroleum and coal product manufacturing, chemical manufacturing, and
rubber and plastic manufacturing; for broadcasting and
telecommunications; and for food services and drinking places and
accommodations.

DATES: To ensure consideration and response to all comments on the
proposals set forth in this notice, comments must be in writing and
should be submitted as soon as possible, but no later than April 8,
1996. The proposed industry system would become effective in the U.S.
on January 1, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Structure of Notice

There are seven parts to this notice. PART I includes the proposals
for crop production, animal production, forestry and logging, fishing,
hunting and trapping, and support activities for agriculture; PART II
includes textile mills, textile product mills, apparel manufacturing,
and leather and allied product manufacturing; PART III includes food
and kindred product manufacturing and beverage and tobacco product
manufacturing; PART IV includes fabricated metal product manufacturing;
PART V includes machinery manufacturing; PART VI includes electrical
equipment,

[[Page 4525]]
appliance, and component manufacturing; PART VII includes
transportation equipment manufacturing.
Each of the seven parts of the notice is organized into two
sections. The first section includes a copy of the proposed agreement
signed by ECPC, Statistics Canada, and INEGI; the structure of NAICS;
and an explanation of the structure. For a number of reasons, NAICS
industries do not always provide as much industry detail as has been
present in the U.S. SIC. Each country may add additional detailed
industries, below the 4-digit level of NAICS, as necessary to meet
national needs, so long as this additional detail aggregates to a 4-
digit NAICS level in order to ensure full comparability among the three
countries. The second section of the notice includes the U.S. detailed
industries within NAICS and two comparison tables showing the
differences between the 1987 SIC and the 1997 NAICS with United States
detail.
NAICS is organized in a hierarchical structure much like the
existing SIC. The first digit of a NAICS code designates the sector.
The code also designates 2-digit subsectors, 3-digit industry groups,
and 4-digit industries. Each country may add additional detailed
industries, below the 4-digit level of NAICS, as necessary to meet
national needs, so long as this additional detail aggregates to a 4-
digit NAICS level in order to ensure full comparability among the three
countries. The proposed United States NAICS system, for example, would
include 5-digit industries. These represent important industries in the
U.S. that cannot be recognized in the statistical systems of either
Canada or Mexico because of size restrictions, confidentiality or other
reasons.
The NAICS numbering system is still under development; therefore
the hierarchical structure is displayed in this document with X's
representing the following:

X Industry Sector
XX Industry Subsector
XXX Industry Group
XXXX Industry
XXXXX U.S. National Industry

The terms ``Industry Sector'' and ``Industry Subsector'' are
changes from the terms ``Division'' and ``Major Group'' used in the
1987 SIC manual.

Time Series Summary

The standard approach to preserving time series continuity after
classification revisions is to create linkages where the series break.
This is accomplished by producing the data series using both the old
and new classifications for a given period of transition. With the dual
classifications of data, the full impact of the revision can be
assessed. Data producers then may measure the reallocation of the data
at aggregate industry levels and develop a concordance between the new
and old series for that given point in time. The concordance creates a
crosswalk between the old and new classification systems. This link
between the 1987 U.S. SIC and NAICS (with U.S. national detail) will be
developed by the statistical agencies in the U.S.

Outreach Activities

OMB and the Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC) are
seeking comments on the proposed NAICS structure for the industries
described in this notice.
In carrying out its mandate to ensure maximum public participation
in the process of constructing NAICS, the ECPC has already discussed
many of these industry proposals with industry and user groups and will
continue to do so. In addition, the ECPC is replying on a flow basis as
soon as the work is completed for industry subsectors to previous
Federal Register notices. Thus, this Federal Register notice
supplements other ECPC public outreach activities in the development of
NAICS.

Part I--Proposed New Industry Structure for Crop Production; Animal
Production; Forestry and Logging; Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping; and
Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry

Section A--NAICS Structure

North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS)
Agreement Number 4

This Document represents the proposed agreement on the structure of
the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the
following industries:

Crop Production
Animal Production
Forestry and Logging
Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping
Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry

The detailed NAICS structure along with a brief description of the
structure is attached (Attachments 1 and 2). Each country agrees to
release a copy of the proposed NAICS structure to interested data
users. Comments received will be shared among the countries and
additional discussions will be held before a final decision on the
structure is made. Each country may add additional detailed industries,
below the 4-digit level of NAICS, as necessary to meet national needs,
so long as this additional detail aggregates to a 4-digit NAICS level
in order to ensure full comparability among the three countries. This
NAICS structure was presented and provisionally accepted at the NAICS
Committee meeting held on August 30, 1995--September 1, 1995 in
Washington, DC.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System

Draft Classification for:

Crop Production
Animal Production
Forestry and Logging
Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping
Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry

Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico, and
the United States agree to a draft industry classification for these
industries.
The draft classification applies to the five subsectors, Crop
Production; Animal Production; Forestry and Logging; Fishing, Hunting,
and Trapping; and Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry.
These subsectors are sub-divided into twenty industry groups and forty-
three industries. The subsectors are part of the Agriculture, Forestry,
Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping sector of the classification.

A General Outline

The Crop Production industries involve growing crops mainly for
food and fiber. The industries are grouped by similarity of production
activity, biological and physiological characteristics, and economic
requirements. The length of growing season, degree of crop rotation,
extent of input specialization, labor requirements, and capital demands
were taken into account when developing the industry structure. The
production process is typically completed when the raw product or
commodity grown reaches the ``farm gate'' for market or point of first
sale or price determination.
The subsector Animal Production involves raising animals. These
animals are kept for eventual sale and gain in product value. The
animals may be raised in various environments, from total confinement
or captivity to controlled grazing on open range pasture.
The Forestry and Logging subsector involves timber tract and other
forest operations. A distinction has been made for the length of the
production cycle for wood products. The production of short rotation
woody crops such as cut Christmas trees and cottonwoods for pulpwood
are considered to be agricultural crop production, and so have been
placed in Nursery and Floriculture Production. The typical life cycle
of this process is ten years or less. On the other hand, timber
production often requires fifty years.
The Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping subsector includes
establishments engaged in the harvesting of animals in a natural
habitat. Activities involving the raising of animals in captivity for
eventual sale or market are classified in Animal Production, e.g.,
Animal Aquaculture, Fur-bearing Animal and Rabbit Production, and so
forth.
The Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry include
activities that support growing crops, raising animals and producing
forest products. These activities are in a separate agricultural,
forestry, fishing, hunting, and trapping subsector. These
establishments provide an alternative source of inputs required for the
production process for a given crop, animal, or forestry industry.

Limitations and Constraints of the Classification

There are some analytical needs that cannot be met by an industry
classification. There are needs for information on the total production
of various agriculture commodities. However, because of vertical
integration and multiple activities occurring at a single farm, an
industry classification system will not provide this information. For
example, wine- making establishments that produce their own grapes will
be included in the Wines, Brandy and Brandy Spirits industry not the
Tree Nut and Noncitrus Fruit Farming industry.
Though the industries are defined by similarities in the types and
quantities of inputs per unit of output used in production, data users
should be aware that certain differences in technologies and
cultivating or production practices exist within industries.
There are a few factors that constrained the structure and detail
of the classification in the area under consideration. In the Crop and
Animal Production subsectors, most activities present in one country
exist in the others. However, often an activity is not economically
significant to the same degree in all countries due to factors such as
climate and soil conditions. For example, cotton cannot be grown in
Canada. Further, data for some significant activities cannot be
published for a particular country for reasons of confidentiality.
Finally, the way activities are combined in establishments differs to
some extent in the different countries.
Economic significance in each country also influenced the
development of the classification structure. For example, apple
production is significant in the three countries but fruit production,
excluding apples in Canada, is too small for separate publication at
the industry level. Each country will publish additional categories
that comprise subdivisions of the NAICS industries to present data for
activities that are nationally significant.

Relationship with ISIC

Most 4-digit NAICS industries in these subsectors are contained
within Division 01, Agriculture, Hunting and Related Service Activities
of the current International Standard Industrial Classification of all
Economic Activities (ISIC, Revision 3) of the United Nations. Data
tabulated using NAICS can be retabulated according to ISIC with one
exception: Tree Nut and Noncitrus Fruit Farming cannot be assigned to
an ISIC division without being sub-divided since integrated grape
growing and wine manufacturing are classified in ISIC as an
agricultural activity and in NAICS as a manufacturing activity.

Some Changes to the National Classifications

For Canada, Mexico, and the United States, an industry group is
created for root, tuber, and peanut farming. The grouping includes
industry activities for potatoes, sugar beets, peanuts, and other root-
type crops, except vegetables. Canada previously classified these
establishments in field crops and the U.S. in field crops, except cash
grains. In Mexico, the industries were classified in CMAP 111102 or
111103 as short-cycle crops.
Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry is redefined for
Canada,

[[Page 4527]]
Mexico, and the United States. This subsector contains the following
industry groups: Support Activities for Crop Production, Support
Activities for Animal Production, and Support Activities for Forestry.
The CSIC Major Group 02, Service Industries Incidental to Agriculture,
is included in the NAICS Support Activities subsector with some
exceptions, namely veterinary services, companion animal services
except breeding, certain research activities, and selected activities
related to ornamental plants. For Mexico, the activities included in
this subsector are moved from CMAP 971010. For the United States,
support activities include 1987 SIC Industry Group 085, Forestry
Services, and 1987 SIC Major Group 07, Agricultural Services, with the
exception of veterinary services, landscape and horticultural services,
animal specialty services, except breeding and equine support
activities.
For the United States, cotton ginning has been moved to
Miscellaneous Manufacturing as a separate 4-digit NAICS industry.
Cotton ginning is the mechanical process of removing the seed from the
cotton lint. The activity generally takes place ``off the farm'' at a
cotton gin.
For Canada and the U.S., the new industry group Grain and Oilseed
Farming constitutes a change in the crop production structure. It
essentially replaces the CSIC industry group Field Crop Farms and the
1987 SIC Industry Group 011, Cash Grains.
Orange Groves are a separate crop farming industry for Mexico and
the United States. Historically, Mexico and the U.S. classified these
establishments in Growing of Fruit Trees and Citrus Fruits,
respectively.
Canadian Poultry and Egg Farms and Mexican Poultry Farms are
disaggregated into Chicken Egg Production, Broiler and Other Meat-type
Chicken Production, and Turkey Production. These NAICS industries plus
Poultry Hatcheries and Other Poultry Production form the industry group
Poultry Production. The new industries reflect the structure and
current production practices within each country.
Animal Aquaculture is a new industry for both Canada and Mexico.
The Canadian industry, Services Incidental to Fishing, has been deleted
since the other activities within the industry were either identified
as non-existent or were more appropriately classified elsewhere. In
Mexico, aquaculture has been moved from the fishing subsector 13 to
Animal Production to be consistent with the production oriented
principle. In the U.S., Fish Hatcheries and Preserves classified in
1987 SIC 0921 and fish propagation in captivity are included in this
industry group.
For Mexico, the CMAP class 111212 for hunting is moved to the NAICS
subsector Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping.
For the U.S., a new industry will exist for apiculture.
The subsector Forestry and Logging includes logging, formerly in
the U.S. Manufacturing 1987 SIC 2411. As a production activity, the
harvesting of standing timber or logging is more similar to the
harvesting of agricultural crops than the processing of harvested wood
products, the primary activity of the 1987 SIC Major Group 24, Lumber
and Wood Products, except Furniture. The production activity for the
forestry industry is narrowly defined to be long-term timber growth.
Short rotation timber growth and its harvesting is placed in the NAICS
industry for Nursery and Floriculture Production.

Achievement of Objectives

The classification meets the objectives for the North American
Industry Classification System. It is comprised of industries that
group establishments with similar production processes, that is, it
applies the production-oriented economic concept. In the main, the
hierarchical structure of the classification also follows the
production concept.
The classification achieves comparability for the three
participating countries. Based on existing data, all three countries
expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry, (4-digit)
level of the structure. All countries agree on the definitions of the
industries.
Other objectives of the NAICS project such as the inclusion of new
and emerging industries, service industries, and advanced technology
producing industries were not as relevant in this area of the
classification as in others. This is due to the relatively well
established and technological stable nature of the agricultural and
related subsectors.
The industries have high specialization ratios, and with the
exception of citrus and cotton farming in Canada and dual purpose
cattle farming in Canada and the United States, they are economically
significant. Smaller industries are present because comparability is
given priority over size. Finally, disruptions to time series have been
kept to a minimum. Most of the changes to existing classifications are
marginal. The major changes have been identified and can be taken into
account in linking time series.

Section B-Annex: United States National Industry Detail

As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, for a
number of reasons 4-digit industries in the three NAICS industry
subsectors presented in Part 1, Section A--Attachment 1, contain less
detail than is currently in the U.S. SIC system, and less detail than
is required to meet important analytical requirements in the U.S. The
three country agreement on NAICS envisions that each country may
develop national detailed industries below the NAICS industry level, so
long as the national detail can be aggregated to the NAICS
classification, thus assuring full North American comparability.
The ECPC is proposing U.S. 5-digit industry detail for the five
NAICS industry subsectors covered in Part I of this notice. For cases
where no 5-digit detail is shown, the ECPC is proposing that the NAICS
4-digit industries will also represent the most detailed U.S.
industries.

Description of Changes to the U. S. System

A number of the changes listed in this section were made for
reasons of international comparability. Where one or more of the three
North American countries had different definitions of an industry
classification, adjustments to the definitions in one or more countries
were required. In constructing NAICS, the three countries agreed to
move, where change was required to attain international comparability,
in the direction of the country or countries whose existing
classification definitions most closely corresponded to the production-
oriented concept adopted for NAICS. Cases where the U.S. changed are
listed below; other cases where Canada or Mexico moved toward the U.S.
classification are not, of course, listed in this section.
Crop Production--There were 13 new industries added to the 1997
industry structure in this industry subsector. New industries were
created for:
Oilseed Farming, Except Soybean Farming and Dry Pea and Bean
Farming from part of 1987 SIC 0119, Cash Grains, NEC, in response to a
proposal and to achieve international comparability.
Sugarbeet Farming and Sugarcane Farming from 1987 SIC 0133, Sugar
Cane and Sugar Beets, to recognize significant industries with unique
production processes and to achieve international comparability.
Peanut Farming, Other Root and Tuber Farming, and Hay Farming from
part of 1987 SIC 0139, Field Crops, Except Cash Grains, NEC, to
recognize industries with unique production processes and to achieve
international comparability.
Orange Groves from part of 1987 SIC 0174, Citrus Fruits, to
recognize an existing large industry with a unique production process.
Apple Orchards from part of 1987 SIC 0175, Deciduous Tree Fruits,
to recognize an existing large industry with a unique production
process.
Strawberry Farming from part of 1987 SIC 0171, Berry Crops, to
recognize an existing large berry industry.
Mushroom Production from part of 1987 SIC 0182, Food Crop Grown
Under Cover, in response to a data user's proposal and to achieve
international comparability.
Nursery and Tree Production from part of 1987 SIC 0181, Ornamental
Nursery Product, and part of 1987 SIC 0811, Timber Tract Operations, to
achieve international comparability.
Floriculture Production from part of 1987 SIC 0181, Ornamental
Nursery Products, to recognize an existing large industry with a unique
production process.
Two activities were transferred into the 1997 Crop Production
subsector.
Short rotation woody crops (e.g., Christmas trees) farming was
transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0811, Timber Tracts, into Nursery and
Tree Production, in response to a proposal and because of similar
production processes. Christmas trees and other woody products life
cycle is typically less than ten years in contrast to trees growing in
forests with a much longer growth cycle.
Maple sap gathering was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0831,
Forest Products, into All Other Crop Production in response to an
industry proposal. The production of maple syrup at the site where
maple sap is gathered is included in All Other Crop Production while
the production of maple syrup at a separate location is in the
Manufacturing sector of NAICS.
Also, there were several activities that transferred within the
crop production industry group. The number of crop production
industries increased from 20 in 1987 to 29 in 1997. For time series
linkage, 16 of the 20 1987 industries are comparable within three
percent of the 1997 industries.
Animal Production--There were five new industries added to the 1997
industry structure for this industry subsector. New industries were
created for:
Sheep Farming and Goat Farming from 1987 SIC 0214, Sheep and Goats,
to achieve international comparability with Mexico.
Finfish Production and Shellfish Production from part of 1987 SIC
0273, Animal Aquaculture, to recognize emerging industries with unique
production processes.
Apiculture from part of 1987 SIC 0279, Animal Specialties, NEC, to
achieve international comparability.
Dual Purpose Cattle Ranching and Farming will be a null industry
for the United States.
One activity transferred into the 1997 Animal Production industry
subsector.
Fish Hatcheries were transferred from 1987 SIC 0921, Fish
Hatcheries and Preserves, into Animal Aquaculture, to reflect a
production process for fish propagated in captivity.
A few activities were transferred within the animal production
industry group. The number of animal production industries increased
from 16 in 1987 to 19 in 1997. For time series linkage, 13 of the 16
1987 industries are comparable within three percent of the 1997
industries.
Forestry and Logging--Three activities were transferred out of the
1987 Major Group 08, Forestry.
Short rotation woody crops (e.g., Christmas trees) were transferred
from

[[Page 4532]]
part of 1987 SIC 0811, Timber Tracts, into Nursery and Tree Production
to reflect similar production processes based on the length of the
commodities growth cycle.
Maple sap gathering was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0831,
Forest Products, into part of All Other Crop Production in response to
an industry proposal.
1987 SIC 0851, Forestry Services, was transferred into the 1997
Support Activities for Crop and Animal Production and Forestry
subsector, to reflect similar production support processes.
One activity was transferred into 1997 Forestry and Logging
Industry subsector.
1987 SIC 2411, Logging, was transferred into this subsector because
the production process is more clearly aligned to forestry and for
international comparability.
The number of 1997 forestry and logging industries remained
unchanged at three from 1987. For time series linkage, only one of the
three 1987 industries are comparable within three percent of the 1997
industries.
Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping--Two activities were transferred out
of the 1987 Major Group 09, Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping.
Fish hatcheries were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0921, Fish
Hatcheries and Preserves, into Finfish Hatcheries and Shellfish
Hatcheries, to reflect production processes for fish propagated in
captivity.
Fish preserves were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0921, Fish
Hatcheries and Preserves, into 1997 NAICS Museums, Historical Sites and
Similar Institutions subsector, to reflect similar production
processes.
Also, there were several activities that transferred within the
fishing, hunting and trapping industries. The number of fishing,
hunting, and trapping industries decreased from five in 1987 to four in
1997. For time series linkage, four of the 1987 industries are
comparable within three percent of the 1997 industries.
Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry--There was one new
industry added to the industry structure for this subsector. An
industry was created for:
Support Activities for Animal Production from part of 1987 SIC
0751, Livestock Services, Except Veterinary; 0752, Animal Specialty
Services, Except Veterinary; and 7699, Repair Services, NEC, to reflect
similar production processes.
Eight activities were transferred out of 1987 SIC Major Group 07,
Agriculture Services.
Cotton Ginning was transferred into the NAICS Miscellaneous
Manufacturing subsector, to achieve international comparability with
Mexico.
Veterinary Services for Livestock, 1987 SIC 0741, and Veterinary
Services for Animal Specialties, 1987 SIC 0742, will be combined and
transferred into one of the 1997 services industry subsectors, to
achieve international comparability. Also, the services require very
specialized input and highly skilled workers not found in other support
activities for animal production.
Custom slaughtering was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0751,
Livestock Services, Except Veterinary, into the 1997 manufacturing
industry subsector Food Product Manufacturing, to reflect a similar
production process.
Animal Specialty Services, Except Veterinary were transferred from
part of 1987 SIC 0752, Animal Specialty Services, Except Veterinary,
into one of the new service industry subsectors, to reflect unique
production processes. Services for horses and equines and activities
related to breeding of animals will be in Support Activities for Animal
Production.
Farm Management Services, 1987 SIC 0762, will be integrated with
the particular crop production industries they serve. For example,
``citrus grove management and maintenance'' will be classified with
Orange Groves or Other Citrus Groves, depending on the crop managed. If
there is not a dominant cropping activity, crop farm management
services will be placed with the 4-digit NAICS industry, All Other Crop
Farming. Activities are grouped together that have similar production
processes.
Landscape architects and landscape planning was transferred from
part of 1987 SIC 0781, Landscape Counseling and Planning, into 1997
NAICS subsector, Professional, Technical, and Scientific Services, to
reflect similar production processes involving similar inputs and
particularly skills in architecture and planning.
Garden planning horticulture advisory and counseling services were
transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0781, Landscape Counseling and
Planning, into one of the 1997 services industries, to achieve
international comparability and separate out non-crop production
activities.
Lawn and garden care services, excluding installation and initial
planting activities were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0782, Lawn
and Garden Services, and 1987 SIC 0783, Ornamental Shrub and Tree
Service, was transferred partly into one of the new 1997 services
industries. Lawn and garden installation and initial planting of
materials were transferred into the Construction Industries sector, to
reflect similar production processes. Also, this achieves international
comparability with Canada that now divides these industries between
construction and services.
Two activities were transferred into the NAICS Support Activities
for Agriculture and Forestry subsector.
1987 SIC 0851, Forestry Services, were transferred into the
industry group, Support Activities for Forestry, to reflect similar
production processes, i.e., support activities for agriculture and
forestry.
Farriers (Blacksmith Shops) were transferred from part of 1987 SIC
7699, Repair Services, NEC, into the industry group, Support Activities
for Animal Production, to achieve international comparability. This
activity provides direct support to the animal production subsector.
Also, there were several activities that transferred within the
support activities for crop and animal production and forestry
industries. The number of support activities for crop and animal
production and forestry industry decreased from 14 in 1987 to 6 in
1997. For time series linkage, 11 of the 14 1987 industries are
comparable within three percent of the 1997 industries.

Part II--Proposed New Industry Structure for Textile Mills, Textile
Product Mills, Apparel Manufacturing, Leather and Allied Product
Manufacturing

Section A--NAICS Structure

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
Agreement Number 5
This Document represents the proposed agreement on the structure of
the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the
following industries:

Textile Mills
Textile Product Mills
Apparel Manufacturing
Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing

The detailed NAICS structure along with a brief description of the
structure is attached (Attachments 1 and 2). Each country agrees to
release a copy of the proposed NAICS structure to interested data
users. For the apparel industries only, each country may develop a
different national structure. These structures must, however, permit
each country to aggregate to the NAICS structure in Attachment 1. Each

[[Page 4533]]
country's detailed apparel structure is shown in Attachment 3. Comments
received will be shared among the countries and discussions held before
a final decision on the structure is made. This NAICS structure was
presented and provisionally accepted at the NAICS Committee meeting
held June 22 and 23, 1995 in Ottawa, Canada.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System

Draft Classification for:

Textile Mills
Textile Product Mills
Apparel Manufacturing
Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing

Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and
the United States agree to a draft industry classification for these
industries.
The draft classification provides for four subsectors; Textile
Mills; Textile Product Mills; Apparel Manufacturing; and Leather and
Allied Product Manufacturing. These groups are further sub-divided into
eleven industry groups and twenty industries. The subsectors will be
part of the Manufacturing sector of the NAICS classification.

A General Outline

Textile Mills comprise a group of industries that transform a basic
fiber (natural or synthetic) into a product that is further
manufactured into usable items such as apparel, sheets and towels, and
textile bags for individual or industrial consumption. The main
processes in this subsector include preparation and spinning of fiber,
knitting or weaving of fabric, and finally the finishing of the
textile. The NAICS structure follows and captures this process flow.
Major industries in this flow such as preparation of fibers, weaving of
fabric, knitting of fabric, and fiber and fabric finishing are uniquely
identified. Texturizing, throwing, twisting, and winding of yarn
contains aspects of both fiber preparation and fiber finishing. In the
end, the decision was to class these with preparation of fibers rather
than with finishing of fiber.
The subsector Textile Product Mills includes the production of
textile products, except apparel. With a few exceptions, processes used
in these industries are generally ``cut and sew,'' i.e., purchasing
fabric and cutting and sewing to make a non-apparel textile product
such as sheets and towels. By creating a separate subsector, the
classification more accurately reflects both the production aspect and
the strong desire for a separate identification for these activities by
many data users.
The Apparel Manufacturing subsector consists of establishments with
two distinct manufacturing processes: (1) ``cut and sew'' as described
above and (2) the manufacture of garments in establishments that first
knit fabric and then cut and sew the fabric into a garment. Knitting,
when done alone, is classified in the Textile Mills subsector, but when
knitting is combined with the production of complete garments, the
production processes are similar to those in Apparel Manufacturing. The
three countries agreed to establish separate subsectors for Textile
Product Mills and Apparel Manufacturing. These groupings allow for the
unique identification at a high classification level for Apparel
Manufacturing, an extremely important international trade grouping.
The subsector Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing consists of
transforming hides into leather by tanning or curing, and fabricating
the leather into products for final consumption. It also includes the
manufacture of certain other, similar products from other materials,
including products other than apparel made from ``leather
substitutes'', such as rubber, plastic, or textiles. Rubber footwear,
textile luggage, and plastic purses or wallets are examples of
``leather substitute'' products included in this group. The products
made from leather substitutes are produced in similar ways as are the
leather products (luggage, for example) and they are made in the same
establishments so it is not practical to separate them. The inclusion
of leather production in this subsector is partly because leather
tanning is a relatively small industry that has few close neighbors as
a production process, partly because leather is an input to some of the
other products classified in this subsector, and partly for historical
reasons.

Limitations and Constraints of the Classification

There are some analytical needs that cannot be met by this industry
classification. For example, there is a need in the U.S. and Canada for
data for separate statistics for men's and women's apparel, even though
overlap of production exists for many specific clothing items. This
cannot be accommodated by NAICS because of differences in the way
apparel production is organized in Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.
Specifically, in Mexico, producers of children's wear are not
specialized according to gender as they are in the U.S. and Canada. It
is therefore, not possible for Mexico to create separate industries for
men's and boys' versus women's and girls''. Canada and the U.S., on the
other hand, can recognize this distinction and in the national detail
of the two countries, these groupings are recognized. Moreover, Mexico
requires that uniforms be grouped together in a single industry; in the
U.S. and Canada, production of men's uniforms is usually separate from
production of women's uniforms. Additionally, size constraints prohibit
separation of some activities in Canada. For example, Canada cannot
support a separate men's work clothing industry.
These differences in the way apparel production is organized in the
three countries also greatly limits the number

[[Page 4534]]
of NAICS industries that can be defined in this subsector. As a result,
NAICS industries have been defined at a rather highly aggregated level
(e.g., outerwear) because only at these levels of aggregation will it
be possible to publish comparable data across all three countries.
Therefore, the three countries agreed that each country will publish
more detailed national industries that meet their respective national
needs for data on apparel. For the apparel industries only, each
country may develop a different national structure. These structures
must, however, permit each country to aggregate to the NAICS structure
shown in Attachment 1. Attachment 3 shows each country's detailed
national structure for apparel.
For users requiring detailed commodity information, each country
will publish information on products of these industries. Efforts also
are underway to harmonize the commodity classifications to allow
comparability of these statistics.
An issue related to the coding structure is the ability to publish,
and the economic significance of the items defined in the
classification. In the apparel industry, most activities that were
identified in one country exist in the others. However, often an
activity is not economically significant to the same degree in all
countries. Further, data for some significant activities cannot be
published for a particular country because of confidentiality rules.
Finally, the way activities are combined in establishments differs to
some extent in the different countries. A structure could have been
developed that specified such activities in NAICS, but the resulting
statistical tables for any given country would have numerous
insignificant or suppressed entries. For example, Canada cannot support
a separate men's work clothing industry because of size. It was
preferable to adopt an operating rule for this industry subsector that
the NAICS industries must be economically significant and publishable.
It is anticipated that each country will publish additional categories
that comprise sub-divisions of NAICS industries to present data for
activities that are nationally significant.

Relationship to ISIC

The new NAICS structure for textiles, apparel, and leather does not
match the current International Standard Industrial Classification of
all Economic Activities (ISIC, Revision 3). The ISIC divisions covered
by these NAICS subsectors are: Division 17, Manufacture of Textiles;
Division 18, Manufacture of Wearing Apparel: Dressing and Dyeing of
Fur; and Division 19, Tanning and Dressing of Leather; Manufacture of
Luggage, Handbags, Saddlery, Harness and Footwear. Within ISIC, apparel
made from fabric made in the same establishment is classified in one
division and that made from fabric made by another establishment is
classified in a different division. Within ISIC, both manufacturing of
primary textiles and made-up textile products are classified in the
same division while in NAICS these functions have been separated into
two subsectors.
However, of the twenty one NAICS 4-digit industries in these
subsectors, only four do not fall within a single ISIC Division. The
four that do not, cross two ISIC divisions. Moreover, the majority of
the NAICS industries created fall within a single 4-digit ISIC
industry.

Some Changes to the National Classifications

This section highlights some of the significant changes to existing
national classifications.
In Textile Mills, the NAICS structure following the production flow
resulted in a major restructuring for Canada. Every new national
industry in Canada will have some change. For the United States, the
main industry change involves moving finishing of fiber, yarn, thread,
and wool fabric into separate classifications. The United States
converters of non knit (woven) fabric also were moved to manufacturing.
In Mexico, the changes were minor.
The subsector Textile Product Mills contains no major changes for
any of the three countries. In NAICS, all three countries moved
curtains and draperies made from purchased materials to this grouping.
The major change for Mexico and the U. S. for all NAICS industries
in Apparel Manufacturing was the classification of cut and sew
contracting into a separate NAICS industry group. The fact that cut and
sew apparel contractors make women's dresses one week and women's
blouses the next or make men's shirts one week and men's pants the next
results in difficulties in classifying establishments. In addition,
these contractors are typically small, thus causing additional
difficulties in classifying these establishments. Classifying all
contractors together eases the data collection process. Creating a
separate contracting industry for apparel results in a change in
virtually every U.S. (13) and Mexican (6) apparel manufacturing
industry. Canada already recognizes apparel contracting in its current
structure. It should be noted that Mexico will continue to collect and
publish a combined industry (including contractors) for the cut and sew
area, but will publish separate NAICS for this industry. The U.S.
Census Bureau has published information in the past on cut and sew
contractors. This information will be used as a bridge to link the 1997
Economic Census data based on NAICS to data that would have been
published on the 1987 SIC basis. This link will provide data users
essential information for time series comparability.

Achievement of Objectives

The classification meets the objectives for the NAICS. It is
comprised of industries that group establishments with similar
production processes, that is, it applies the production-oriented
economic concept. In the main, the hierarchical structure of the
classification also follows the production concept.
The classification achieves comparability for the three
participating countries. Based on existing data, all three countries
expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry level of
the structure. All countries agree on the detailed definitions of the
industries.
Other objectives of the NAICS project are not as relevant in this
area of the classification as in others. These objectives are the
delineation of new and emerging industries, service industries, and
industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies. The
industry subsector in question is relatively mature, generally produces
goods, and has employed relatively stable technology. Therefore, the
emphasis was on the objectives listed above.
The industries have high specialization ratios, and they are
economically significant. The detail and structure of the
classification are balanced in size. This enhances the classification's
suitability for sampling, data-publishing and other aspects of survey
operations. For Textile Mills and Textile Product Mills, disruptions to
time series have been kept to a minimum. In Apparel Manufacturing,
however, the establishment of a separate industry for cut and sew
contractors results in a change for the U.S. to nearly all of the
existing apparel industries. A link between the old and new industries
will be provided where possible.

Section B-Annex: United States National Industry Detail

As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, for a
number of reasons 4-digit industries in the three NAICS industry
subsectors presented in Part 1, Section A--Attachment 1, contain less
detail than is currently in the U.S. SIC system, and less detail than
is required to meet important analytical requirements in the U.S. The
three country agreement on NAICS envisions that each country may
develop national detailed industries below the NAICS industry level, so
long as the national detail can be aggregated to the NAICS
classification, thus assuring full North American comparability.
The ECPC is proposing U.S. 5-digit industry detail for the three
NAICS industry subsectors covered in Part I of this notice. For cases
where no 5-digit detail is shown, the ECPC is proposing that the NAICS
4-digit industries will also represent the most detailed U.S.
industries.

Description of Changes to the U.S. System

1. Subsector Structure--Three industry subsectors replace 1987
Major Groups 22, Textile Mill Products and 23, Apparel and Other
Textile Products.
The Textile Mills subsector includes the activities of fiber and
yarn preparation and finishing, fabric forming, and fabric finishing.
It includes 1987 SIC Industry Groups 221, Broadwoven Fabric Mills,
Cotton; 222, Broadwoven Fabric Mills, Manmade Fiber and Silk; 223,
Broadwoven Fabric Mills, Wool; 224, Narrow Fabric Mills; 226, Textile
Finishing, except Wool; and 228, Yarn and Thread Mills. It also
includes 1987 SIC codes 2257, Weft Knit Fabric Mills; 2258, Lace and
Warp Knit Fabric Mills; 2295, Coated Fabrics; 2297, Nonwoven Fabrics;
and 2397, Schiffli Machine Embroideries.
The Textile Product Mills subsector includes the activities of
manufacturing finished textile products other than apparel. It includes
1987 SIC Industry Groups 227, Carpets and Rugs; 1987 SIC industries
2296, Tire Cord and Tire Fabric; 2298, Cordage and Twine; 2391,
Curtains and Draperies; 2392, Housefurnishings, NEC; 2393, Textile
Bags; 2394, Canvas and Related Products; and 2399, Fabricated Textile
Products, NEC.
The Apparel Manufacturing subsector includes the activities of
manufacturing apparel. It includes the 1987 SIC Industry Groups 231,
Men's and Boys' Suits and Coats; 232, Men's and Boys' Furnishings; 233,
Women's and Misses' Outerwear; 234, Women's and Children's
Undergarments; 235, Hats, Caps and Millinery; 236, Girls' and
Children's Outerwear; 237, Fur Goods; and 238, Miscellaneous Apparel
and Accessories. It also includes 1987 SIC industries 2251, Women's
Hosiery, except Socks; 2252, Hosiery, NEC; 2253, Knit Outerwear Mills;
and 2254, Knit Underwear Mills.
This structure represents the flow of activities through the
various textile and apparel industries. It was strongly supported by
several segments of the industry and agreed to by both Canada and
Mexico.
The total number of industries for these subsectors is 44 and
unchanged from 1987 to 1997. There are six new industries for these
subsectors. For time series linkage, eleven of the 1987 industries are
comparable within three percent of the 1997 industries.
2. Textile Mills--Two new industries were added to the 1997
national industry structure for this subsector. New industries were
created for:
Broadwoven Fabric Mills from 1987 SIC 2211, Broadwoven Fabric
Mills, Cotton; 1987 SIC 2221, Broadwoven Fabric Mills, Manmade; part of
1987 SIC 2231, Broadwoven Fabric Mills, Wool; and part of 1987 SIC
2299, Textile Goods, NEC. These industries include establishments that
weave yarn into fabric. In the past, the weaving industries were
separated by type of yarn used, e.g., cotton, manmade, etc. and this
resulted in substantial industry switching and classification problems.
Broadwoven Fabric Finishing Mills from 1987 SIC 2261, Finishing
Plants, Cotton; 1987 SIC 2262, Finishing Plants, Manmade; and part of
1987 SIC 2231,

[[Page 4543]]
Broadwoven Fabric Mills, Wool. As with weaving above, these industries
are made up of establishments that perform the same activity, finishing
of textile fabric.
Three activities were transferred into the 1997 Textile Mills
subsector.
Broadwoven converters were transferred from part of 1987 Wholesale
Trade SIC 5131, Piece Goods and Notions, into part of NAICS industry
Broadwoven Fabric Finishing. This entrepreneurial function is more
closely related to manufacturing than wholesaling.
Converters, except broadwoven were transferred from part of 1987
Wholesale Trade SIC 5131, Piece Goods and Notions, into the new
industry Finishing, Except Broadwoven Fabric Finishing. This
entrepreneurial function is more closely related to manufacturing than
wholesaling.
Rubberized fabric was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 3069,
Fabricated Rubber Products, NEC, into Fabric Coating Mills because
coating fabric is the same activity regardless of the material used.
Five activities included in this 1997 subsector were transferred
from one industry to another within the Textile Mills subsector.
Yarn of hard fiber was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2299,
Textile Goods, NEC, into Yarn Spinning Mills because there is no
difference in the spinning activity.
Thread of hard fiber was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2299,
Textile Goods, NEC, into Thread Mills because the production of thread
does not vary by type of fiber.
Broadwoven fabric of hard fiber was transferred from part of 1987
SIC 2299, Textile Goods, NEC, into Broadwoven Fabric Mills because
there is no difference in the weaving activity.
Narrow fabric of hard fiber was transferred from part of 1987 SIC
2299, Textile Goods, NEC, into Narrow Fabric Mills because of the same
reason shown above.
Felt transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2299, Textile Goods, NEC,
into Nonwoven Fabric Mills because it is one of several ways to
manufacture nonwoven fabric.
The number of textile mills industries for 1997 is 12. For time
series linkage, only one of the 1987 industries is comparable within
three percent of 1997 industries.
3. Textile Product Mills--There were no new industries created for
this subsector. One activity transferred out of this subsector.
Mops were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2392, House
Furnishings, NEC, into Broom and Brush Manufacturing in the
Miscellaneous Manufacturing subsector to achieve international
comparability.
One activity included in the 1997 Textile Product Mills subsector
was transferred between industries.
Knit gloves and girdles were transferred from part of 1987 SIC
2259, Knitting Mills, NEC, into All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product
Mills as a function of a textile product mill rather than a basic
textile mill.
There are eight industries in the 1997 Textile Product Mills
subsector. For time series linkage, six of the 1987 industries are
comparable within three percent of the 1997 industries.
4. Apparel Manufacturing--Four new industries were created for this
1997 industry subsector.
Men's and Boys' Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors from parts of the
1987 Men's and Boys', Children's and Miscellaneous Apparel industries.
This industry was created because the production function of
contractors is so different than that of manufacturers and jobbers.
Women's and Girls' Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors from parts of
the 1987 Women's, Girls', Children's, and Miscellaneous Apparel
industries. This industry was created because the production function
of contractors is so different than that of manufacturers and jobbers.
Fur and leather clothing from the 1987 SIC 2386, Leather and Sheep
Lined Clothing, and fur apparel from part of 1987 SIC 2371, Fur Goods.
Both of these industries are very small and somewhat similar in
function.
Apparel Belt, Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing from 1987
SIC 2387, Apparel Belts; 1987 SIC 2396, Automotive and Apparel
Trimmings; and 1987 SIC 2399, Fabricated Textile Products, NEC. This is
essentially a new all other category that was created from pieces left
from several industries.
Three activities were transferred from 1987 Major Group, Apparel
and Other Textile Products.
Seat belts and seat and tire covers were transferred from part of
1987 SIC 2399, Fabricated Textile Products, NEC, into Motor Vehicle
Fabric Accessory and Seat Manufacturing in the Transportation Equipment
Manufacturing subsector to achieve international comparability. Canada
and Mexico already have these activities associated with motor vehicle
manufacturing.
Automotive trimmings were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2396,
Automotive and Apparel Trimmings, into Motor Vehicle Fabric Accessory
and Seat Manufacturing in the Transportation Equipment Manufacturing
subsector to achieve international comparability. Canada and Mexico
already have these activities associated with motor vehicle
manufacturing.
Printing on apparel was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2396,
Automotive and Apparel Trimming, into Other Commercial Printing in the
Printing and Related Support Activities subsector to be shown later.
This was done to achieve international comparability. Mexico's
establishments do printing without regard to the material.
One activity was transferred into this subsector.
Leather gloves and mittens were transferred from 1987 Major Group
31, Leather and Leather Products, into Glove and Mitten Manufacturing
to achieve international comparability. Canada cannot separate the
production of leather gloves and mittens from fabric gloves and mittens
because the leather activity is too small.
Also there were a large number of activities that transferred to
other industries within the textiles and apparel subsectors. Some of
the more significant of these are:
Little boys' apparel was transferred from parts of 1987 SIC codes
2341, Women's and Children's Underwear; 2361, Girls' and Children's
Dresses, Blouses, and Shirts; and 2369, Girls' and Children's
Outerwear, NEC, to parts of various industries for men's and boys'
apparel because of the overlap with manufacturers of men's and boys'
clothing.
Cut and sew contractors were transferred from each of the 1987 SIC
codes for outerwear and underwear into the two new industries for
contractors. This industry was created because the production function
of contractors is so different than that of manufacturers and jobbers.
There are 24 industries included in Apparel Manufacturing. For time
series comparability, four 1987 industries are comparable within three
percent of 1997.
5. Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing--Three activities were
transferred out of the subsector.
Wood heels were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 3131, Footwear
Cut Stock, into All Other Miscellaneous Wood Product Manufacturing to
be published separately to achieve international comparability. Canada
and Mexico had these classified elsewhere.
Metal buckles were transferred from part of the 1987 SIC 3131,
Footwear Cut Stock, into Fastener, Button, Needle, and Pin
Manufacturing in the

[[Page 4544]]
Miscellaneous Manufacturing subsector to be published separately, to
achieve international comparability. Canada and Mexico had these
classified elsewhere.
Leather gloves and mittens were transferred into Glove and Mitten
Manufacturing for international comparability.
Two activities were transferred into NAICS Leather and Allied
Product Manufacturing.
Fur dressing and finishing was transferred from part of 1987 SIC
3999 Manufacturing Industries, NEC, into Leather and Hide Tanning and
Finishing to achieve international comparability. The U.S. changed in
order to agree with Canada and Mexico.
Rubber and plastic footwear was transferred from the 1987 Major
Group 30, Rubber and Miscellaneous Plastics Products, into this
subsector to achieve international comparability. Canada and Mexico do
not distinguish footwear manufacturing based on material.
Also, there were several activities that transferred within the
leather and allied product manufacturing industries. The number of
leather and allied product manufacturing industries decreased from 11
in 1987 to 7 in 1997. For time series linkage, 7 of the 11 1987
industries are comparable within three percent of the 1997 industries.

PART III--Proposed New Industry Structure for Food Manufacturing and
Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing

Section A--NAICS Structure

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
Agreement Number 6

This Document represents the proposed agreement on the structure of
the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the
following industries:

Food Manufacturing
Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing

The detailed NAICS structure along with a brief description of the
structure is attached (Attachments 1 and 2). Each country agrees to
release a copy of the proposed NAICS structure to interested data
users. Comments received will be shared among the countries and
discussions held before a final decision on the structure is made. Each
country may add additional detailed industries, below the 4-digit level
of NAICS, as necessary to meet national needs, so long as this
additional detail aggregates to a 4-digit NAICS level in order to
ensure full comparability among the three countries. This NAICS
structure was presented and provisionally accepted at the NAICS
Committee meeting held on August 30, 1995 through September 1, 1995 in
Washington, DC.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System

Draft Classification for:

Food Manufacturing
Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing

Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico, and
the United States agree to a draft industrial classification for these
industries.
The draft classification provides for two subsectors, Food
Manufacturing and Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing. These
subsectors are sub-divided into ten industry groups and twenty eight
industries. The subsectors are part of the Manufacturing sector of the
classification.

A General Outline

Food Manufacturing includes establishments that transform livestock
and agricultural products into products for intermediate or final
consumption. The industry groups are distinguished by the processes and
the nature of the raw materials used. The first two categories, Animal
Food Manufacturing and Grain and Oilseed Milling, are characterized by
the grinding process. Excluded from this industry group is the nixtamal
milling carried out in Mexico, due to the integration of this activity
with the preparation of corn tortillas.
The Sugar and Confectionery Product Manufacturing industry group
includes establishments that process agricultural inputs such as sugar
cane, beet, and cocoa to give rise to a new product (sugar or
chocolate) and those that begin with sugar and chocolate and process
these further.
The Preserved Fruit, Vegetable and Specialty Manufacturing industry
group includes two types of establishments: those that freeze food and
those that combine preservation processes such as pickling, canning,
dehydrating and so forth. Both types begin their productive process
with inputs of vegetable or animal origin.
The establishments that manufacture dairy products and meat
products are defined by the inputs used: milk and meat, respectively.
Industry group, Bakeries and Tortilleries have a common
denominator, the kneading and cooking process that takes place in ovens
or flat earthenware pans. In this industry group is the nixtamal mill.
The industry group Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing includes
industries with different productive processes such as snack food
manufacturing; coffee and tea manufacturing; concentrate, syrup,
condiment, and spice manufacturing; and in general an

[[Page 4545]]
entire range of other miscellaneous products.
The Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing subsector has two
industry groups. The first one, Beverage Manufacturing, includes three
types of establishments: those that manufacture non-alcoholic
beverages; those that manufacture alcoholic beverages through the
fermentation process; and those that produce distilled alcoholic
beverages. Ice manufacturing, while not a beverage, is included with
non-alcoholic beverage manufacturing because it is the same production
process as water purification.
In the case of activities related to the manufacture of beverages,
the structure follows the defined productive processes. Brandy, a
distilled beverage, was not placed under distillery product
manufacturing, but rather under the NAICS class for winery product
manufacturing since the productive process used in the manufacturing of
alcoholic grape-based beverages, produces both wines (fermented
beverage) and brandies (distilled beverage).
The second industry group, Tobacco Product Manufacturing, includes
two types of establishments: those engaged in redrying and stemming
tobacco and those that manufacture cigarettes and cigars.

Limitations and Constraints of the Classification

There are a few factors that constrained the structure and detail
of the classification in the area under consideration. In the Food
Manufacturing subsector, most activities that were identified in one
country exist in the others. However, the way activities are combined
in establishments differs to some extent in the different countries.
For example, in Canada and the United States, corn oil is produced in
the same establishments that manufacture corn starch and corn
sweeteners. In Mexico, corn oil is produced in specialized
establishments. All of the establishments that produce these products
along with those producing other vegetable fats and oils, are combined
into one NAICS industry, Starch and Vegetable Fats and Oils
Manufacturing. Each country will publish additional categories that
comprise sub-divisions of NAICS industries to present data for
activities that are nationally significant.
For those users requiring detailed commodity information, each
country will publish information on products of these industries.
Efforts are also underway to harmonize the commodity classifications to
allow comparability of these statistics.

Relationship of ISIC

Most 4-digit NAICS industries in these subsectors are contained
within Division 15, Manufacture of Food Products, of the current
International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic
Activities (ISIC, Revision 3) of the United Nations. The following
NAICS industry cannot be assigned to an ISIC division. Wineries that
grow their own grapes and then manufacture wine are classified in ISIC
as an agriculture activity and in NAICS as a manufacturing activity.

Some Changes to the National Classifications

A significant change for all three countries is the inclusion of
malt manufacturing in the NAICS industry Flour Milling and Malt
Manufacturing. Malt was formerly included in the beer manufacturing
industry in Mexico and the United States and in Miscellaneous
Manufacturing in Canada, but was moved to the flour milling and malt
manufacturing NAICS industry because the production process used to
manufacture malt is similar to that of the flour milling industry.
Grouping the production of starches and vegetable fats and oils in
a single class also is a significant change for all three countries. In
Canada and the United States, corn oil is produced in the same
establishments that produce starch products, while in Mexico, corn oil
is produced in establishments that manufacture vegetable fats and oils.
Thus, the difference in the production processes across the three
countries necessitated this grouping.
The creation of two industries for chocolate and confectionary
products made from cocoa beans and confectionery made from purchased
chocolate is a change for Canada since these industries were previously
combined. The NAICS industry Non-Chocolate Confectionery Manufacturing
is new for all three countries, and includes chewing gum.
Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing includes the preparation of
food to be consumed fresh (e.g., salads, sandwiches, etc. that are sold
for immediate or almost immediate consumption). It is characterized by
the preparation of food in volume that the manufacturer sells to a
specialized establishment that sells it either through a service or a
retail establishment. It is not specifically defined in the existing
classification systems of the three countries.
The inclusion of bakeries that prepare the dough, bake the bread,
and sell on the premises in manufacturing is a major change for Canada
and the United States. These establishments formerly were included in
the retail sector in both countries. The manufacture of ice, an
activity that up to now had been considered by the three countries to
be part of food, has been transferred to beverage manufacturing.
The grouping of Beverage and Tobacco Manufacturing into a subsector
represents a major restructuring for all three countries. In Canada,
the current two-digit groups for Beverages (CSIC 10, 11) and Tobacco
(CSIC 12) have been combined in one NAICS subsector, Beverage and
Tobacco Product Manufacturing. For Mexico, the current subsector Food
Products, Beverages, and Tobacco has been split into two subsectors. In
the United States, tobacco is a separate two-digit major group (Major
Group 21, Tobacco Products) while beverages is a three-digit industry
group, (Industry Group 208, Beverages).

Achievement of Objectives

The classification meets the objectives for the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS). It is comprised of industries
that group establishments with similar production processes, that is,
it applies the production-oriented economic concept. In the main, the
hierarchical structure of the classification also follows the
production concept.
The classification achieves comparability for the three
participating countries. Based on existing data, all three countries
expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry (4-digit)
level of the structure. All countries agree on the detailed definitions
of the industries.
The classification improves comparability with other countries.
Most industries are compatible with the two-digit level of the current
International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic
Activities (ISIC, Revision 3) of the United Nations. This means that
each comparable NAICS industry is the same as, or part of, a single
ISIC two-digit Division.
Other objectives of the NAICS project are not as relevant in this
area of the classification as in others. These objectives are the
delineation of new and emerging industries, service industries and
industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies. The
industrial sector in question is relatively mature, generally produces
goods, and employs relatively stable technology. Therefore, the
emphasis was on the objectives listed above.

[[Page 4546]]

The industries have high specialization ratios, and with the
exception of tortillas in Canada, they are economically significant.
The detail (4-digit) and structure of the classification are balanced
in size. This enhances the classification's suitability for sampling
and other aspects of survey operations. Finally, disruptions to time
series, while they exist, have been minimized. Most of the changes to
existing classifications are marginal. The major changes are well-
identified and can be taken into account in linking time series.

Section B-Annex: United States National Industry Detail

As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, for a
number of reasons 4-digit industries in the two NAICS industry
subsectors presented in Part 1, Section A--Attachment 1, contain less
detail than is currently in the U.S. SIC system, and less detail than
is required to meet important analytical requirements in the U.S. The
three country agreement on NAICS envisions that each country may
develop national detailed industries below the NAICS industry level, so
long as the national detail can be aggregated to the NAICS
classification, thus assuring full North American comparability.
The ECPC is proposing U.S. 5-digit industry detail for the two
NAICS industry subsectors covered in Part I of this notice. For cases
where no 5-digit detail is shown, the ECPC is proposing that NAICS 4-
digit industries will also represent the most detailed U.S. industries.

Description of Changes to the U.S. System

[[Page 4550]]
industry structure for this subsector. New industries were created for:
Other Oilseed Processing by combining 1987 SIC 2074, Cottonseed Oil
Mills, and 1987 SIC 2076, Vegetable Oil Mills, NEC. Cottonseed
processing is very small and the production function is identical
except for the inputs used.
Confectionery Manufacturing from Purchased Chocolate from part of
1987 SIC 2064, Candy and Other Confectionery Products, to promote
comparability with Mexico. This industry also is characterized by the
production process as chocolate as an input to confectionery is unique
and is distinguished by process.
Non-Chocolate Confectionery Manufacturing from parts of 1987 SIC
2064, Candy and Other Confectionery Products; 1987 SIC 2067, Chewing
Gum; and 1987 SIC 2099, Food Preparations, NEC. Chewing gum is a
disclosure in the U.S. and is too small in Canada.
Rendering and Meat By-product Processing from parts of 1987 SIC
2013, Sausage and Other Prepared Meats, and 1987 SIC 2077, Animal and
Marine Fats and Oils, since there are specialized processes involved
and they tend to be performed in separate establishments. This proposal
is supported by The National Renderer's Association.
Tortilleries from part of 1987 SIC 2099, Food Preparations, NEC, in
response to a proposal from the industry association and to promote
comparability with Mexico.
Coffee and Tea Manufacturing from parts of 1987 SIC 2043, Cereal
Breakfast Foods; 1987 SIC 2095, Roasted Coffee; 1987 SIC 2099, Food
Preparations, NEC, to promote comparability with Canada.
Mayonnaise, Dressing and Other Prepared Sauce Manufacturing from
parts of 1987 SIC 2035, Pickles, Sauces and Salad Dressings, and 1987
SIC 2099, Food Preparations, NEC, to promote comparability with Mexico.
The U.S. found a good production basis and more than sufficient data
user interest for this change.
Spice and Extract Manufacturing from parts of 1987 SIC 2087,
Flavoring Extracts and Syrups; 1987 SIC 2095, Roasted Coffee; 1987 SIC
2099, Food Preparations, NEC; and 1987 SIC 2899, Chemical Preparations,
NEC resulted from a modification of a proposal to create a spice
industry. There is considerable overlap between the production of
extracts and spices. Spice production alone produced a low
specialization rate (75%), but the combined industry exhibits good
specialization (91%).
Retail Bakeries from part of 1987 SIC 5461, Retail Bakeries, to
obtain comparability with Mexico. A new industry was created since
their production function is different than that of a commercial bakery
and in order to retain time series continuity.
Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing from part of 1987 SIC 2099,
Food Preparations, NEC, to reduce the size of SIC 2099 and improve
comparability with Mexico.
Three activities were transferred into the 1997 Food Manufacturing
subsector:
Custom slaughtering was transferred from 1987 SIC 0751, Livestock
Services, Except Veterinary, into Animal Slaughtering because the
production process is slaughtering whether done on a production or
custom basis, and in response to a proposal.
Boxed beef from purchased carcasses was transferred from 1987 SIC
5147, Meat and Meat Products, into Meat Processed From Purchased
Carcasses to improve comparability with Canada. The production function
of these establishments is much more a manufacturing type operation, in
that they are very large, highly automated plants that produce bulk
products that must still be further broken down before they are ready
for sale to the final consumer.
Salt was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2899, Chemical
Preparations, NEC, into Spice and Extract Manufacturing to promote
comparability with Mexico.
Also there were several activities that transferred within the Food
Manufacturing subsector. The number of food manufacturing except
beverages manufacturing industries increased from 43 in 1987 to 47 in
1997. For time series linkage, 26 of the 43 1987 industries are
comparable within three percent of the 1997 industries.
Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing--Two new industries were
created for this subsector.
Ice Manufacturing and Water Purification from 1987 SIC 2097,
Manufactured Ice, and part of 1987 SIC 2086, Bottled and Canned Soft
Drinks, to promote comparability with Mexico.
Other Tobacco Product Manufacturing by combining 1987 SIC 2121,
Cigars; 1987 SIC 2131, Chewing and Smoking Tobacco; and Reconstituted
Tobacco from part of 1987 SIC 2141, Tobacco Stemming and Redrying.
One activity transferred into the Beverage and Tobacco Product
Manufacturing subsector: Potable ethyl alcohol was transferred from
part of 1987 SIC 2069, Industrial Organic Chemicals, into NAICS
Distilleries to promote comparability with Canada.
The number of beverage and tobacco product industries decreased
from ten in 1987 to eight in 1997. For time series linkage, five of the
ten 1987 beverage and tobacco product manufacturing industries are
comparable within three percent of the 1997 industries.

Part IV--Proposed New Industry Structure for Fabricated Metal Product
Manufacturing

Section A--NAICS Structure

North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS)
Agreement Number 7

This Document represents the proposed agreement on the structure of
the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the
following industries:

Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing

The detailed NAICS structure along with a brief description of the
structure is attached (Attachments 1 and 2). Each country agrees to
release a copy of the proposed NAICS structure to interested data
users. Comments received will be shared among the countries and
additional discussions will be held before a final decision on the
structure is made. Each country may add additional detailed industries,
below the 4-digit level of NAICS, as necessary to meet national needs,
so long as this additional detail aggregates to a 4-digit NAICS level
in order to ensure full comparability among the three countries. This
NAICS structure was presented and provisionally accepted at the NAICS
Committee meeting held August 30, 1995--September 1, 1995 in
Washington, D.C.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System

Draft Classification for:

Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing

Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico, and
the United States agree to a draft industrial classification for these
industries.
This draft classification applies to the subsector Fabricated Metal
Product Manufacturing. This subsector is further sub-divided into eight
industry groups and fourteen industries. The subsector will be part of
the Manufacturing sector of the classification.

A General Outline

The Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing industries transform
metal into intermediate or end products, other than machinery,
computers and electronics, and metal furniture. Some important
fabricated metal processes are forging, stamping, bending, forming, and
machining, which are used to shape individual pieces of metal.
Processes such as welding and assembling are used to join separate
parts together. Establishments may use one of these processes or they
may be used in combination. The NAICS structure distinguishes the
forging and stamping processes in a single industry. Other industries
identify categories of products whose manufacture involves similar
combinations of processes. For example, establishments in Platework and
Fabricated Structural Product Manufacturing work with heavy gauge
metal; those in Ornamental and Architectural Metal Product
Manufacturing work with light gauge metal.
NAICS makes a basic distinction between establishments that draw
wire from bars or rods, and those that purchase wire and make products
from it. The former are classified in the Primary Metal Manufacturing
subsector and the latter either in the Fabricated Metal Product
Manufacturing subsector; in Spring and Wire Product Manufacturing, if
the products are not insulated; or if the product is insulated wire,
the establishments are classified in the Electrical Equipment,
Appliance, and Component Manufacturing subsector.

Limitations and Constraints of the Classification

There are some analytical needs that cannot be met by the
industrial classification. For example, relatively broad NAICS
industries were created for Forging and Stamping; Ornamental and
Architectural Metal Product Manufacturing; Metal Can, Box and Other
Metal Container (Light Gauge) Manufacturing; and Spring, Wire and
Turned Product Manufacturing. The way activities are combined in
establishments differs to some extent in some countries. For example,
forgings and stampings are often made in the same establishments in
Mexico, while they are usually produced in separate establishments in
Canada and the United States. More often, size constraints prohibit
separation of activities in Canada or Mexico. In the Fabricated Metal
Product Manufacturing subsector, most activities that were identified
in one country exist in the others, but sometimes an activity is not
economically significant to the same degree in all countries. For
example, Canada cannot support a Precision Turned Product Manufacturing
industry because of size.
A structure could have been developed that specified such
activities in NAICS, but the resulting statistical tables for any given
country would have numerous insignificant or suppressed entries. An
operating rule has therefore been adopted for this industry subsector
that the NAICS industries must be economically significant and
publishable. Each country will publish additional categories that
comprise sub-divisions of NAICS industries, to present data for
activities that are nationally significant.
For those users requiring detailed commodity information, each
country will publish information on the products of these industries.
Efforts are also underway to harmonize the commodity classifications to
allow for greater comparability of these statistics.

Relationship to ISIC

Eight industries can be assigned entirely to ISIC Division 28,
Manufacture of Fabricated Metal Products, except Machinery and
Equipment of the current International Standard Industrial
Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC, Revision 3) of the
United Nations. The following NAICS industries belong largely to ISIC
Division 28 with the exception of the activities indicated: Platework
and Fabricated Structural Product Manufacturing (fabricated bar joists
and concrete reinforcing bars); Power Boiler and Heat Exchanger
Manufacturing (heat exchangers); Metal Valve Manufacturing (hose
nozzles, rubber hose and tube assemblies, and metal pipe fittings); All
Other Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (industrial patterns, and
ball and roller bearings); Spring and Wire Product Manufacturing (wire
carts and hand sieves); and Metal Tank (Heavy Gauge) Manufacturing (gas
absorbers, autoclaves, buoys, and floating structures). However,
because the exceptions indicated above are a relatively small part of
the output of these six NAICS industries, one can combine the
industries of NAICS for this subsector, and be quite comparable to ISIC
28, Manufacture of Fabricated Metal Products, except Machinery and
Equipment.

Some Changes to the National Classifications

The Forging and Stamping industry represents a major restructuring
for Canada. Non-ferrous forgings have been moved from the Primary
Metals Major Group, and they are no longer split by type of metal such
as aluminum or bronze. Stampings are brought together from two existing
CSIC industries.
The creation of the Hardware Manufacturing industry represents
significant change for both Canada and Mexico. Their current
classifications place hardware for transportation equipment in a
variety of industries, based on the type of vehicle. All hardware,
including locks, is combined in one industry in NAICS.
Coating, Engraving, Heat Treating and Allied Activities in NAICS
brings together all activities performed on metal, such as coating and
heat treating. This is a significant change for Canada and Mexico,
whose classifications only distinguish coating activities. For the
United States, heat treating of metals is currently in Primary Metal
Manufacturing.
The creation of a Machine Shop industry is a change for all three
countries that currently combine this activity with various others.
Other changes for the United States involve the creation of several new
national industries within the various NAICS industries.

[[Page 4552]]

Achievement of Objectives

The classification meets the objectives for the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS). It is comprised of industries
that group establishments with similar production processes, that is,
it applies the production-oriented economic concept. The hierarchical
structure of the classification also follows the production concept.
The classification achieves comparability for the three
participating countries. Based on existing data, all three countries
expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry (4-digit)
level of the structure. All countries agree on the detailed definitions
of the industries.
Other objectives of the NAICS project are not as relevant in this
area of the classification as in others. These objectives are the
delineation of new and emerging industries, service industries and
industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies. The
industrial sector in question is relatively mature, generally produces
goods, and employs relatively stable technology. Therefore, the
emphasis is on the objectives listed above.
The industries have high specialization ratios, and they are
economically significant. The detail (4-digit level) and structure of
the classification are balanced in size. This enhances the
classification's suitability for sampling and other aspects of survey
operations. Finally, disruptions to time series, while they exist, have
been minimized. The statistical agencies can develop statistical
``links'' to enable the re-tabulation of time series on the new NAICS
classification structure.

Section B-Annex: United States National Industry Detail

As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, for a
number of reasons 4-digit industries in the three NAICS industry
subsectors presented in Part 1, Section A--Attachment 1, contain less
detail than is currently in the U.S. SIC system, and less detail than
is required to meet important analytical requirements in the U.S. The
three country agreement on NAICS envisions that each country may
develop national detailed industries below the NAICS industry level, so
long as the national detail can be aggregated to the NAICS
classification, thus assuring full North American comparability.
The ECPC is proposing U.S. 5-digit industry detail for the three
NAICS industry subsectors covered in Part I of this notice. For cases
where no 5-digit detail is shown, the ECPC is proposing that the NAICS
4-digit industries will also represent the most detailed U.S.
industries.

achieve international comparability, and combine similar production
processes. This industry includes establishments engaged in machining
or otherwise working of industrial material, on a job or order basis,
producing parts from raw materials, or rebuilding existing parts.
Two complete industries were transferred out of this industry
group, because of NAICS decisions that produced international
comparability:
Heating Equipment, Except Electric and Warm Air Furnaces was
transferred into the Machinery Manufacturing subsector.
Motor Vehicle Metal Stampings were transferred into the
Transportation Equipment Manufacturing subsector.
Four activities were transferred out of 1987 SIC Major Group 34,
Fabricated Metal Products, and are described more fully in their new
respective NAICS subsectors.
Clock and watch spring manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC
3495, Wire Springs, into Navigational, Measuring and Control Instrument
Manufacturing.
Metal laminated foil roll and sheet manufacturing for flexible
packaging was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 3497, Metal Foil and
Leaf, to the subsector for Paper Manufacturing, because the production
processes are similar, regardless of the material used. This is the
lamination, not creation of foil.
Metal cooling tower manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC
3443, Fabricated Plate Work, to the Machinery Manufacturing subsector
for international comparability. In Canada, cooling towers are produced
by establishments producing air conditioning equipment.
Metal furniture part manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC
3499, Fabricated Metal Products, NEC, into Metal Furniture
Manufacturing.
Three industries were transferred into this subsector:
Industrial Pattern Manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC
3543, Industrial Patterns (in the Industrial and Commercial Machinery
and Computer Equipment major groups), to achieve international
comparability. The U.S. and Mexico moved to match Canada.
Metal Heat Treating was transferred from 1987 SIC 3398, Metal Heat
Treating (in the Primary Metal Industries major group). This change
achieves international comparability. The U.S. moved to match Canada
and Mexico.
Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing from 1987 SIC 3562, Ball and
Roller Bearings (in the Industrial and Commercial Machinery and
Computer Equipment major group). This reflects the fact that this
activity is really metal fabrication. Previously, the U.S., Canada, and
Mexico all had this industry in machinery.
Seventeen activities were transferred into the Fabricated Metal
Product Manufacturing subsector:
Nonpowered hand-held animal clipper manufacturing was transferred
from 1987 SIC 3523, Farm Machinery and Equipment, into Hand and Edge
Tool Manufacturing, to achieve international comparability and combine
activities having similar inputs and production processes.
Metal corral, stall, and holding gate manufacturing was transferred
from 1987 SIC 3523, Farm Machinery and Equipment, into Ornamental and
Architectural Metal Work Manufacturing, to achieve international
comparability.
Nonpowered lawnmower manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC
3524, Lawn and Garden Tractors and Home, Lawn and Garden Equipment,
into Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing, to achieve international
comparability and combine activities having similar inputs and
production processes. The U.S. and Canada moved to agree with Mexico.
Precision measuring tool manufacturing was transferred from 1987
SIC 3545, Cutting Tools, Machine Tools Accessories and Machinist
Precision Measuring Devices, into Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing, to
achieve international comparability and combine activities having
similar inputs. The U.S. and Canada moved to agree with Mexico.
Wheelbarrow manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC 3799,
Transportation Equipment, NEC, into Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing to
achieve international comparability. The U.S. and Canada moved to agree
with Mexico.
Tape measure manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC 3999,
Manufacturing Industries, NEC, into Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing to
achieve international comparability. The U.S. and Canada moved to agree
with Mexico.
Metal air cargo container manufacturing was transferred from 1987
SIC 3537, Industrial Trucks, Tractors, Trailers, and Stackers, into
Other Metal Container Manufacturing to achieve comparability with
Mexico.
Metal pallet manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC 3537,
Industrial Trucks, Tractors, Trailers, and Stackers, into All Other
Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing to achieve comparability with
Mexico.
Reconditioning drum manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC
5085, Wholesale of Industrial Supplies, into Metal Shipping Barrels,
Drums, Kegs, and Pails Manufacturing to achieve comparability with
Mexico. In NAICS, rebuilding on a factory basis is placed in the
Manufacturing sector.
Nonferrous nail, brad and staple manufacturing was transferred from
1987 SIC 3399, Primary Metal Products, into Miscellaneous Fabricated
Wire Product Manufacturing to achieve international comparability, and
because of similar production processes. If the process includes
drawing, it remains in primary metals.
Steel nail, spike, etc., manufacturing was transferred from 1987
SIC 3315, Steel Wiredrawing and Steel Nails and Spikes, into
Miscellaneous Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing to achieve
international comparability, and because of similar production
processes. If the process includes drawing, it remains in primary
metals.
Metal gasket packing and sealing device manufacturing was
transferred from 1987 SIC 3053, Gaskets, Packing, and Sealing Devices,
into All Other Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing to achieve
international comparability. The U.S. and Canada moved to match Mexico.
Steel wool manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC 3291,
Abrasive Products, into All Other Fabricated Metal Product
Manufacturing to achieve international comparability. The U.S. moved to
match Canada and Mexico.
Flexible metal hose manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC
3599, Industry and Commercial Machinery and Equipment, NEC, into All
Other Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing to achieve international
comparability.
Metal sign manufacturing was transferred from 1987 SIC 3993, Signs
and Advertising Specialties, into All Other Fabricated Metal Product
Manufacturing to achieve international comparability. The U.S. and
Canada moved to match Mexico.
Comb, hair curler, and other metal product manufacturing was
transferred from 1987 SIC 3999, Manufacturing Industries, NEC, into All
Other Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing to achieve international
comparability.
Laminating steel was transferred from 1987 SIC 3399, Primary Metal
Products, NEC, into Electroplating, Plating, Polishing, Anodizing and
Coloring. This change achieves international comparability. The U.S.
moved to match Canada and Mexico.
Also, there were several activities that transferred within the
Fabricated Metal

[[Page 4559]]
Product Manufacturing subsector. The number of Fabricated Metal Product
industries increased from 38 in 1987 to 41 in 1997. For time series
linkage, 32 of the 38 1987 industries are comparable within three
percent of the 1997 industries.

Part V--Proposed New Industry Structure for Machinery Manufacturing

Section A--NAICS Structure

North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS)
Agreement Number 8

This Document represents the proposed agreement on the structure of
the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the
following industries:

Machinery Manufacturing

The detailed NAICS structure along with a brief description of the
structure is attached (Attachments 1 and 2). Each country agrees to
release a copy of the proposed NAICS structure to interested data
users. Comments received will be shared among the countries and
additional discussions will be held before a final decision on the
structure is made. Each country may add additional detailed industries,
below the 4-digit level of NAICS, as necessary to meet national needs,
so long as this additional detail aggregates to a 4-digit NAICS level
in order to ensure full comparability among the three countries. This
NAICS structure was presented and provisionally accepted at the
Committee meeting held August 30, 1995--September 1, 1995 in
Washington, D.C.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System

Draft Classification for:

Machinery Manufacturing

Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico, and
the United States agree to a draft industrial classification for these
industries.
This draft classification applies to the subsector, Machinery
Manufacturing. This subsector is sub-divided into seven industry groups
and thirteen industries. The subsector will be part of the
Manufacturing sector of the classification.

A General Outline

The industries included in the Machinery Manufacturing subsector
create end products that apply mechanical force, for example, the
application of gears and levers to perform work. Some important
processes for manufacture of machinery are forging, stamping, bending,
forming, and machining that are used to shape individual pieces of
metal. Processes such as welding and assembling are used to join
separate parts together. These processes are similar to those used in
metal fabricating establishments. However, machinery manufacturing
typically employs multiple metal forming processes in manufacturing the
various parts of the machine and complex assembly operations are an
inherent part of the production process.
In general, design considerations are very important in machinery
production. Establishments specialize in producing machinery designed
for particular applications. Thus design is considered to be part of
the production process for the purpose of implementing NAICS. The
structure reflects this by defining industries and industry groups that
produce machinery for different applications. A broad distinction
exists between machinery that is generally used in a variety of
industrial applications (general purpose machinery) and machinery that
is designed to be used in a particular industry (special purpose
machinery). Three industry groups consist of special purpose
machinery--Agricultural, Construction, and Mining Machinery
Manufacturing; Industrial Machinery Manufacturing; and Commercial and
Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing. The other industry groups
produce general-purpose machinery--Heating, Ventilation, Air
Conditioning, and Commercial Refrigeration Manufacturing; Metalworking
Machinery Manufacturing; Engine, Turbine, and Power Transmission
Equipment Manufacturing; and Other General Purpose Machinery
Manufacturing.

Limitations and Constraints of the Classification

Relatively broad industries were created in several areas
including: Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing; Heating,
Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Commercial Refrigeration
Manufacturing; and Engine, Turbine and Power Transmission Equipment
Manufacturing. Occasionally, these aggregations are a consequence of
differences in the degree of specialization of the three countries. For
example, Canada cannot support a separation of mining machinery
manufacturing from oil and gas field machinery manufacturing because of
the combination of these activities in the same establishments.
More often, size constraints prohibit separation of activities in
Canada or Mexico. For example, separate industries are possible for
textile machinery manufacturing in the United States and Mexico, or for
paper industry machinery manufacturing in Canada and the United States.
But due to size constraints, it is not possible to create the textile
machinery manufacturing industry in Canada or the paper industry
machinery manufacturing industry in Mexico. Therefore, textile
machinery manufacturing and paper machinery manufacturing are included
in the four-digit industry, Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing.
Each country will publish additional categories that comprise sub-
divisions of industries, to present data for activities that are
nationally significant.

[[Page 4560]]

For those users requiring detailed commodity information, each
country will publish information on the products of these industries.
Efforts also are underway to harmonize the commodity classifications to
allow for greater comparability of these statistics.

Relationship to ISIC

Ten of the thirteen four-digit industries in this subsector can be
assigned to Division 29, Manufacture of Machinery and Equipment, NEC,
of the current International Standard Industrial Classification of all
Economic Activities (ISIC, Revision 3) of the United Nations. The
following three industries belong largely to ISIC Division 29, with the
exception of the activities indicated: Mining, Oil and Gas Field
Machinery (drilling bits for oilfield and gas drilling equipment);
Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing (optical
instruments and lenses and photographic equipment and supplies, except
photographic films, paper, and chemicals); and Other General Purpose
Machinery (balance equipment, other than automotive wheel). However,
because the exceptions indicated are a relatively small part of the
output of these two NAICS industries, one can combine the industries of
NAICS for this subsector, and be quite comparable to ISIC 29.

Some Changes to the National Classifications

The Canadian classification's Machinery Industries major group is
similar in coverage to the subsector proposed here. The manufacturing
of heating equipment, now treated as metal fabricating; of some office
machinery, now classified as electrical equipment; and of engines, now
classified as transportation equipment have been moved to this
subsector. Furthermore, the structure--special-purpose machinery and
general-purpose machinery--is similar. However, the classification has
more detail, with thirteen industries compared to seven; the Canadian
national detail adds three more.
The Mexican classification's Manufacture, Repair and Assembly of
Machinery and Equipment for Specific Purposes and Manufacture, Repair
and Assembly of Machinery and Equipment for General Use have a combined
coverage similar to the subsector proposed here. The manufacturing of
heating equipment, now treated as metal fabricating, of some office
machinery, now classified as electrical equipment, and of engines now
classified as transportation equipment, have been moved to this
subsector. Furthermore, the structure -special-purpose machinery and
general-purpose machinery--is similar. The amount of detail in the
subsector is similar to that of the existing classification.
For the United States, a major change is the movement of computers
and peripherals out of this group to the new subsector for Computers
and Electronic Product Manufacturing. Heating equipment, currently in
the 1987 SIC Fabricated Metal major group, and optical instruments,
lenses, and photographic equipment, currently in the 1987 SIC
Instruments and Related Products major group, have been transferred
into this subsector. Other changes involve the movement of a number of
relatively small activities from one national industry to another to
achieve comparability with Canada and Mexico, and/or to better meet
production principles. Otherwise, the new structure, with U.S. national
industry detail, is comparable with the 1987 SIC. For example, only
seven 1987 U.S. industries have time series breaks that amount to more
than 3 percent of the industry value of shipments in 1992.

Achievement of Objectives

The classification meets the objectives for the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS). It is comprised of industries
that group establishments with similar production processes, that is,
it applies the production-oriented economic concept. In the main, the
hierarchical structure of the classification also follows the
production concept.
The classification achieves comparability for the three
participating countries. Based on existing data, all three countries
expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry (4-digit)
level of the structure. All countries agree on the detailed definitions
of the industries.
Other objectives of the project are not as relevant in this area of
the classification as in others. These objectives are the delineation
of new and emerging industries, service industries, and industries
engaged in the production of advanced technologies. The industrial
sector in question is relatively mature, generally produces goods, and
employs relatively stable technology. Therefore, the emphasis is on the
objectives listed above.
The industries have high specialization ratios, and they are
economically significant. The detail (4-digit level) and structure of
the classification are balanced in size. This enhances the
classification's suitability for sampling and other aspects of survey
operations. Finally, disruptions to time series, while they exist, have
been minimized. Most of the changes at the detail to existing
classifications are marginal. The major changes are well-identified and
can be taken into account in linking time series.

Section B--Annex: United States National Industry Detail

As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, for a
number of reasons 4-digit industries in the three industry subsectors
presented in Part 1, Section A--Attachment 1, contain less detail than
is currently in the U.S. SIC system, and less detail than is required
to meet important analytical requirements in the U.S. The three country
agreement on NAICS envisions that each country may develop national
detailed industries below the industry level, so long as the national
detail can be aggregated to the NAICS classification, thus assuring
full North American comparability.
The ECPC is proposing U.S. 5-digit industry detail for the industry
subsector covered in Part I of this notice. For cases where no 5-digit
detail is shown, the ECPC is proposing that the 4-digit industries will
also represent the most detailed U.S. industries.

The abbreviation ``pt'' means ``part of'', @ means times series break has been created that is greater than 3%
of the 1992 value of shipments for the 1987 SIC industry. The abbreviation NEC is used for Not Elsewhere
Classified.

Description of changes to the U.S. System

A number of the changes listed in this section were made for
reasons of international comparability. Where one or more of the three
North American countries had different definitions of an industry
classification, adjustments to the definitions of one or more countries
were required. In constructing NAICS, the three countries agreed to
move, where change was required to attain international comparability,
in the direction of the country or countries whose existing
classification definitions most closely corresponded to the production-
oriented concept adopted for NAICS. Cases where the U.S. changed are
listed below; other cases where Canada or Mexico moved toward the U.S.
classification are not, of course, listed in this section.
Five new industries were added to the 1997 industry structure for
this industry subsector. New industries were created for:
Semiconductor Machinery Manufacturing from part of 1987 SIC 3559,
Special Industry Machinery, NEC, in response to an industry proposal
and because of the highly specialized production processes involved.
Rubber and Plastic Industry Machinery Manufacturing from part of
1987 SIC 3559, Special Industry Machinery, NEC, in response to a
plastics industry proposal and because of the highly specialized
production processes involved. Rubber machinery was included with
plastics machinery because of shared production characteristics.
Air Purification Equipment Manufacturing from part of 1987 SIC
3564, Industrial and Commercial Fans and Blowers and Air Purification
Equipment, in response to an industry proposal and because of highly
specialized production processes involved.
Office Machinery Manufacturing from part of 1987 SIC 3578,
Calculating and Accounting Machinery, Except Electronic Computers, and
from part of 1987 SIC 3579, Office Machines, NEC, to achieve
international comparability. Mexico has a separate class already broken
out. More advanced electronic office machinery is placed in the new
Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing subsector, because the
production processes are very different.
Photographic and Photocopying Equipment Manufacturing from Part of
1987 SIC 3861, Photographic Equipment and Supplies, to achieve
international comparability.
Seven industries were removed from this industry group, and
transferred elsewhere. All seven of these were moved to achieve
international comparability, or to create the new Computer and
Electronic Product Manufacturing subsector.
Industrial Pattern Manufacturing was transferred into the
Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing subsector.
Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing was transferred into the
Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing subsector.
Carburetor, Piston, Piston Ring, and Valve Manufacturing was
transferred into the Transportation Equipment Manufacturing subsector.
Electronic Computer Manufacturing was transferred into the Computer
and Electronic Component Manufacturing subsector.
Computer Storage Product Device Manufacturing was transferred into
the Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing subsector.
Computer Terminal Manufacturing was transferred into the Computer
and Electronic Product Manufacturing subsector.
Computer Peripheral Equipment, NEC was transferred into the
Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing subsector.
Fifteen activities transferred out of 1987 Major Group 35,
Industrial and Commercial Machinery and Computer Equipment, and are
described more fully in their new respective subsectors.
Ferrous and nonferrous mold manufacturing was transferred from part
of 1987 SIC 3544, Special Dies and Tools, Die Sets, Jigs and Fixtures,
and Industrial Molds, into the Primary Metal Manufacturing subsector.
Hand hair clippers for animals and metal corral, stall, and holding
gate manufacturing were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 3523, Farm
Machinery and Equipment, into the Fabricated Metal Product
Manufacturing subsector.
Nonpowered lawn mower manufacturing was transferred from part of
1987 SIC 3524, Lawn and Garden Tractors and Home Lawn and Garden
Equipment, into the Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing subsector.
Precision measuring tool manufacturing was transferred from part of
1987 SIC 3545, Cutting Tools, Machine Tool Accessories, and Machinists'
Precision Measuring Devices, into the Fabricated Metal Product
Manufacturing subsector.
Metal air cargo container and metal pallet manufacturing was
transferred from part of 1987 SIC 3537, Industrial Trucks, Tractors,
Trailers, and Stackers, into the Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing
subsector.
Machine shops were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 3599,
Industrial and Commercial Machinery and Equipment, NEC, into the
Fabricated Metal Product
Manufacturing subsector, to achieve international comparability.
Canada had machine shops in CSIC 30, Fabricated Metal Products
Industries.
Stationery engine radiator manufacturing was transferred from part

major group), to achieve international comparability. Canada had this
in machinery manufacturing.
Optical Instrument and Lense Manufacturing was transferred from
1987 SIC 3827, Optical Instrument and Lenses, to achieve international
comparability.
Six activities were transferred into the Machinery Manufacturing
subsector.
Household sewing machine manufacturing was transferred from part of
1987 SIC 3639, Household Appliances, NEC, into All Other Industrial
Machinery Manufacturing, to achieve international comparability. The
U.S. and Canada moved to agree with Mexico, because the manufacture of
household and industrial sewing machines are similar production
processes.
Teaching machine and flight simulator manufacturing was transferred
from part of 1987 SIC 3699, Electrical Machinery, Equipment, and
Supplies, NEC, into Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery

Other Engine Manufacturing, to achieve international comparability. The
U.S. moved to match Canada and Mexico.
Also, there were several activities that transferred within the
Machinery Manufacturing subsector. The number of machinery
manufacturing industries increased from 38 in 1987 to 46 in 1997. For
time series linkage, 31 of the 1987 industries are comparable within
three percent of the 1997 industries.

Part VI--Proposed New Industry Structure for Electrical Equipment,
Appliance and Component Manufacturing

Section A--NAICS Structure

North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS)
Agreement Number 9

This Document represents the proposed agreement on the structure of
the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the
following industries: Electrical Equipment, Appliance and Component
Manufacturing.
The detailed NAICS structure along with a brief description of the
structure is attached (Attachments 1 and 2). Each country agrees to
release a copy of the proposed NAICS structure to interested data
users. Comments received will be shared among the countries and
additional discussions will be held before a final decision on the
structure is made. Each country may add additional detailed industries,
below the 4-digit level of NAICS, as necessary to meet national needs,
so long as this additional detail aggregates to a 4-digit NAICS level
in order to ensure full comparability among the three countries.
This NAICS structure was presented and provisionally accepted at
the NAICS Committee meeting held on August 30, 1995-September 1, 1995
in Washington, DC.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System

Draft Classification for:

Electrical Equipment, Appliance and Component Manufacturing

Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico, and
the United States agree to a draft industrial classification for these
industries.
This draft classification applies to the subsector, Electrical
Equipment, Appliance and Component Manufacturing. This subsector is
sub-divided into four industry groups and nine industries. This
subsector is part of the Manufacturing sector.

A General Outline

The Electrical Equipment, Appliance and Component Manufacturing
industries create products that generate, distribute and use electrical
power. While establishments classified in many parts of manufacturing
make products that use electricity, the manufacture of electric
lighting equipment and signs and household appliances require
particular attention to the application of electricity. That is the
reason for their inclusion in this subsector.

[[Page 4568]]

Electrical Equipment Manufacturing establishments produce goods
that generate and distribute electrical power, or that are made with
similar production technology, such as motors, generators, transformers
and switchgear apparatus. Other Electrical Equipment and Component
Manufacturing establishments produce devices for storing electrical
power (e.g., accumulators), for transmitting electricity (e.g.,
insulated wire), and accessories for carrying current. Activities in
both Electrical Equipment Manufacturing and Other Electrical Equipment
and Component Manufacturing industry groups all involve the manufacture
of machinery for the generation and distribution of power.

Limitations and Constraints of the Classification

In the Electrical Equipment, Appliance and Component Manufacturing
subsector, most activities identified in one country exist in the
others. The way activities are combined in establishments differs to
some extent in the different countries. For example, Canada cannot
separate the manufacturing of household cooking equipment from
refrigerators and freezers because these activities are often combined
in Canadian establishments. Often an activity is not economically
significant to the same degree in all countries. For example, size
constraints in Canada prohibit separating the manufacture of batteries
from accumulators. For those reasons, some NAICS industries in this
subsector are broader than would be desirable in a system that
distinguishes as does NAICS among production processes. Each country
will publish additional categories that comprise subdivisions of NAICS
industries to present data for activities that are nationally
significant.
For those users requiring detailed commodity information, each
country will publish information on the products of these industries.
Efforts are also underway to harmonize the commodity classifications to
allow comparability of these statistics.

Relationship to ISIC

Most of the NAICS four-digit industries created in this subsector
can be assigned to Division 28, Manufacture of Fabricated Metal
Products, Except Machinery and Equipment or Division 31, Manufacture of
Electrical Machinery and Apparatus, nec of the current International
Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC,
Revision 3) of the United Nations. Therefore, data tabulated using
NAICS can readily be re-tabulated according to ISIC with the following
exception: NAICS industry, All Other Electrical Equipment and Component
Manufacturing includes non-electrical products of graphite or carbon
because those nonelectrical products are made in the same
establishments as electrical graphite and carbon products. In ISIC,
this activity is included in Division 26, Manufacture of Other Non-
Metallic Mineral Products.

Some Changes to the National Classifications

For Canada, the Electrical Equipment, Appliance and Component
Manufacturing subsector is part of the existing Canadian
classification's Electrical and Electronic Products Industries major
group. A large part of that major group will form part of the new NAICS
Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing subsector. As well,
establishments that draw wire and insulate it are classified in Primary
Metal Manufacturing in NAICS. This subsector includes electric signs
that are classified in Miscellaneous Manufacturing in the current
Canadian classification. The structures of the NAICS and Canadian
classifications are similar. There are fewer industries in NAICS, but
national industries will provide the same level of detail as before.
For Mexico, the Electrical Equipment, Appliance and Component
Manufacturing subsector includes many of the activities currently in
the Mexican classification's Manufacture and Assembly of Machinery,
Equipment and Electrical Accessories and Manufacture and Assembly of
Electric and Non-Electric Appliances and Accessories for Home Use.
However, NAICS includes the manufacturing of turbines and some engines
in Machinery Manufacturing, rather than in electrical machinery and it
classifies electrical apparatus for transportation equipment in
Transportation Equipment Manufacturing. The structure of the NAICS
subsector is not similar to that of the corresponding areas of the
Mexican classification. There are fewer industries in NAICS, but
national industries will provide the same level of detail as before.
For the United States, a major change to the structure encompasses
the transfer of twelve industries out of the existing 1987 SIC major
group, Electronic and Other Electrical Equipment and Components Except
Computer Equipment, to the proposed new NAICS subsector, Computer and
Electronic Product Manufacturing. The industries moved are those that
manufacture electronic components such as printed circuit boards and
semiconductors and related devices. Two industries that produce
electrical equipment/components for motor vehicles, aircraft etc. have
been moved to the Transportation Equipment Manufacturing subsector.
Additional changes for the United States for this subsector include
moving the manufacture of electric signs from the Miscellaneous
Manufacturing subsector and the creation of a new industry from the
Primary Metal Manufacturing subsector for the manufacture of insulated
wire and cable from purchased wire. The relocation of insulated wire
from Primary Metal Manufacturing to the Electrical Equipment, Appliance
and Component Manufacturing subsector is a significant improvement of
the classification with respect to the production principle as it now
allows for a distinction between establishments that first draw wire
and then insulate it and those that only insulate.

Achievement of Objectives

The classification meets the objectives for the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS). It is comprised of industries
that group establishments with similar production processes, that is,
it applies the production-oriented economic concept. In the main, the
hierarchical structure of the classification also follows the
production concept.
The classification achieves comparability for the three
participating countries. Based on existing data, all three countries
expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry (4-digit)
level of the structure. All countries agree on the detailed definitions
of the industries.
Other objectives of the NAICS project are not as relevant in this
area of the classification as in others. These objectives are the
delineation of new and emerging industries, service industries, and
industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies. The
industrial sector in question is relatively mature, generally produces
goods, and employs relatively stable technology. Therefore, the
emphasis is on the objectives listed above.
The industries have high specialization ratios, and they are
economically significant. The detail and structure of the
classification are balanced in size. This enhances the classification's
suitability for sampling, data-publishing and other aspects of survey
operations. Finally, disruptions to time series, while they exist, have

[[Page 4569]]
been minimized. The statistical agencies can develop statistical
``links'', to enable the re-tabulation of time series on the new NAICS
classification structure.

Section B-Annex: United States National Industry Detail

As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, for a
number of reasons 4-digit industries in the three NAICS industry
subsectors presented in Part 1, Section A-- Attachment 1, contain less
detail than is currently in the U.S. SIC system, and less detail than
is required to meet important analytical requirements in the U.S. The
three country agreement on NAICS envisions that each country may
develop national detailed industries below the NAICS industry level, so
long as the national detail can be aggregated to the NAICS
classification, thus assuring full North American comparability.
The ECPC is proposing U.S. 5-digit industry detail for the NAICS
industry subsector covered in Part I of this notice. For cases where no
5-digit detail is shown, the ECPC is proposing that the NAICS 4-digit
industries will also represent the most detailed U.S. industries.

processes involved, and because this is a newly- emerging technology.
Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing (insulating of
only) from part of 1987 SIC Code 3357, Drawing and Insulating of
Nonferrous Wire, for purposes of international comparability and to
better reflect production principles. The U.S. moved to match Canada
and Mexico.
Sixteen industries were transferred out of 1987 SIC Major Group 36,
Electronic and Other Electrical Equipment and Components, Except
Computer Equipment. Of the sixteen industries, twelve are included in
1997 NAICS Subsector, Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing, a
new subsector; two transferred to NAICS Subsector, Transportation
Equipment Manufacturing; and two were divided into several activities
that were transferred into the 1997 NAICS Subsectors, Computer and
Electronic Product Manufacturing and Transportation Equipment
Manufacturing; and the new Information sector.
The following twelve industries were transferred to 1997 NAICS
Subsector, Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing:

Household Audio and Video Equipment
Telephone and Telegraph Apparatus
Radio and Television Broadcasting and Communication Equipment
Communications Equipment, NEC
Electron Tubes
Printed Circuit Boards
Semiconductors and Related Devices
Electronic Capacitors
Electronic Resistors
Electronic Coils, Transformers, and Other Inductors

Two industries were transferred from 1987 SIC Major Group 36,
Electronic and Other Electrical Equipment and Component, Except
Computer Equipment, to 1997 NAICS Subsector, Transportation Equipment
Manufacturing. They were 1987 SIC 3647, Vehicular Lighting Equipment,
and 1987 SIC 3694, Electrical Equipment for Internal Combustion
Engines.
Record publishing moved from part of 1987 SIC 3652, Phonograph
Records and Prerecorded Audio Tapes and Disks, to the new NAICS
Information sector. The remaining activities were transferred to 1997
NAICS Subsector, Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing.
1987 SIC 3679, Electronic Components, NEC, was split three ways.
One part, electronic control modular chips for motor vehicles, was
transferred to 1997 NAICS Subsector, Transportation Equipment
Manufacturing, and the other two parts, communication equipment and
other electronic components, moved to two separate industries within
1997 NAICS Subsector, Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing.
Three activities transferred into the 1997 Electrical Equipment,
Appliance and Component subsector:
Transformers for arc-welders from part of 1987 SIC 3548, Electrical
and Gas Welding and Soldering Equipment, to Power, Distribution, and
Specialty Transformer Manufacturing, to achieve international
comparability. Canada had this in CSIC Major Group 33, Electrical and
Electronic Products Industries.
Lamp shades of paper and textiles from part of 1987 SIC 3999,
Manufacturing Industries, NEC, to Residential Electric Lighting Fixture
Manufacturing, to achieve international comparability. Canada had lamp
shades in CSIC MG 33, Electrical and Electronic Products Industries.
Water coolers from part of 1987 SIC 3585, Refrigeration and Heating
Equipment, to Household Refrigerator and Home and Farm Freezer
Manufacturing, to achieve international comparability. The U.S. and
Canada moved to match Mexico.
Also, several activities transferred within the Electrical
Equipment, Appliance and Component Manufacturing subsector. The number
of electrical equipment, appliance and component manufacturing
industries decreased from 37 in 1987 to 23 in 1997. Excluding the
sixteen industries that were moved out of this subsector, all but 2 of
the 22 remaining 1987 industries are comparable within three percent of
the 1997 industries; both of the time series breaks involve splitting
activities out of old NEC categories.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System

Draft Classification for:

Transportation Equipment Manufacturing

Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico, and
the United States agree to a draft industrial classification for these
industries.
The draft classification provides for the subsector, Transportation
Equipment Manufacturing. This subsector is further subdivided into
seven industry groups and fifteen industries. The subsector will be
part of the Manufacturing sector of the classification.

A General Outline

The Transportation Equipment Manufacturing industries produce
equipment for transporting people and goods.
Assembly of components, usually purchased as subassemblies,
characterizes the chief production process in this subsector. Other
processes employed in industries in this subsector include bending,
forming, welding, machining, and assembly of metal or plastic to make
parts for the subassemblies that are further fabricated into the
finished product by other establishments in the group. Though many of
these individual production processes appear in other machinery and
equipment industries, transportation equipment is accorded an entire
subsector because of its economic importance in all three countries.
NAICS has industry groups for each mode of transport--road, rail,
air and water. Parts for motor vehicles are important enough to warrant
a separate industry group. Moreover, establishments that manufacture
only parts are not as vertically integrated as those that produce
complete vehicles and parts manufacture requires less assembly.

Limitations and Constraints of the Classification

In the Transportation Equipment Manufacturing industry, most
activities that were identified in one country exist in the others.
However, often an activity is not economically significant to the same
degree in all countries. For example, a relatively broad NAICS industry
was created for Aerospace Product and Part Manufacturing because this
industry is less prominent in Canada and Mexico than in the United
States. In Mexico, it is not possible to subdivide truck and bus body
from trailer manufacturing for reasons of size. Size constraints in
Canada and Mexico prohibit separating ship building from boat building.
An operating rule has therefore been adopted for this industry
subsector that the NAICS industries must be economically significant
and publishable in all three countries. Each country will publish
additional categories that comprise subdivisions of NAICS industries,
to present data for activities that are nationally significant.
For those users requiring detailed commodity information, each
country will publish information on the products of these industries.
Efforts are also underway to harmonize the commodity classifications to
allow for greater comparability of these statistics.

Relationship to ISIC

Most NAICS 4-digit industries in this subsector are contained in
Division 34, Manufacture of Motor Vehicles, Trailers and Semi-Trailers,
and Division 35, Building and Repairing of Ships and Boats of the
current International Standard Industrial Classification of all
Economic Activities (ISIC, Revision 3) of the United Nations. There
are, however, some differences between the two systems. ISIC has two
divisions for transportation equipment, Divisions 34 and 35. NAICS, on
the other hand, treats this as a single subsector with seven industry
groups. NAICS treats some activities, such as the manufacture of engine
pumps, motor vehicle electrical equipment, automotive fabrics, and
automotive seats as the manufacture of automotive parts in the
Transportation Equipment Manufacturing subsector. ISIC classifies these
activities elsewhere. ISIC treats guided missiles, tanks and armored
vehicles as machinery. NAICS includes these activities in
Transportation Equipment Manufacturing because the production processes
are similar to that of other transportation equipment. NAICS groups
automotive hardware (door handles and similar parts) with other
hardware because the production processes are similar, but includes
stamping in automotive parts because auto stampings are produced in
specialized establishments.
The following NAICS industries belong to ISIC Divisions 34 and 35
with the exception of the activities indicated: Truck and Bus Body and
Trailer Manufacturing (dump truck lifting mechanisms); Motor Vehicle
Gasoline Engine and Engine Part Manufacturing (motor vehicle engine
pumps); Motor Vehicle and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing
(electrical and electronic motor vehicle equipment); Motor Vehicle
Fabric Accessory and Seat Manufacturing (automotive fabrics, linings
and trimmings); Other Motor Vehicle Part Manufacturing (filters for
internal combustion engines, except motor vehicles); Aerospace Product
and Part Manufacturing (aircraft pumps and guided missiles and parts);
and Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing (tanks and armored
vehicles). Despite these differences that for the most part, are
relatively small portions of the NAICS industries, this NAICS subsector
is substantially the same as the combination of the two ISIC Divisions.

Some Changes to the National Classifications

For Canada, the Transportation Equipment Manufacturing subsector is
largely the same as the current Canadian classification's
Transportation Equipment Industries major group. The NAICS subsector
includes the rebuilding of motor vehicle parts on a factory basis, that
are partly in Fabricated Metal Industries and partly in Wholesaling in
the Canadian classification. On the other hand, the NAICS classifies
hardware for transportation equipment in Fabricated Metal Product
Manufacturing, while the Canadian classification includes their
manufacture in Transportation Equipment. The structure and amount of
detail of this NAICS subsector is similar to that of the corresponding
areas of the Canadian classification.
For Mexico, the Transportation Equipment Manufacturing subsector
has coverage similar to the Mexican classification's Automotive
Industry and Manufacture, Repair and Assembly of Other Transportation
Equipment and Parts. The NAICS subsector includes the rebuilding on a
factory basis of motor vehicle gasoline engines, now classified in the
Mexican classification's Repair and Maintenance subsector. It also
includes the manufacture of electrical equipment for transportation
equipment, currently classified with electrical equipment in the
Mexican classification; automotive fabrics, currently in textiles; and
fiberglass boats, currently in the manufacture of plastic products.
However, the manufacturing of hardware and springs for transportation
equipment is classified in Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing in
NAICS, not in transportation equipment as in the Mexican
classification. The structure and amount of detail of this NAICS
subsector is similar to that of the corresponding areas of the Mexican
classification.
For the United States, several activities related to the production
of transportation equipment are transferred

[[Page 4574]]
into this subsector. For example, automotive job stamping of body parts
is now included in this subsector. It has been transferred to this
subsector to achieve comparability with Canada and Mexico, and because
the production processes involved are exclusively devoted to the
production of transportation equipment. The capital equipment required
to produce automotive job stamping cannot be easily changed to produce
other kinds of stamping, such as appliance parts. Further, most
automotive job stamping producers have arrangements (contractual etc.)
that makes it even harder to switch production to other kinds of
stamping. Other activities moved to this subsector for the United
States include automotive lighting, electronic components, fabric
accessories and seating, essentially for the reasons listed above. In
addition, NAICS provides more industry detail than the 1987 SIC. Heavy
duty truck manufacturing is separated from manufacture of light trucks
and passenger cars to recognize differences in the production process
for heavy trucks and truck bodies, and the high degree of
specialization in establishments that build heavy trucks.

Achievement of Objectives

The classification meets the objectives for the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS). It includes industries that
group establishments with similar production processes, that is, it
applies the production-oriented economic concept. In the main, the
hierarchical structure of the classification also follows the
production concept.
An objective of the NAICS project is the delineation of industries
engaged in the production of advanced technologies. The proposed
structure takes account of the development of advanced electronic
sensors and control mechanisms in automobiles. Existing classifications
do not have a clear location for the production of these goods. It is
expected that this activity will grow and the proposed structure will
allow for the creation of a separate industry for this activity in the
future.
The industries have high specialization ratios, and they are
economically significant. The detail (4-digit) level and structure of
the classification are balanced in size. This enhances the
classification's suitability for sampling, data-publishing and other
aspects of survey operations. Finally, while disruptions to time series
exist, they have been minimized. The statistical agencies can develop
statistical ``links'', to enable the re- tabulation of time series on
the new NAICS classification structure.
The classification achieves comparability for the three
participating countries. Based on existing data, all three countries
expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry (4-digit)
level of the structure. All countries agree on the detailed definitions
of the industries.

Section B-Annex: United States National Industry Detail

As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, for a
number of reasons 4-digit industries in the three NAICS industry
subsectors presented in Part 1, Section A--Attachment 1, contain less
detail than is currently in the U.S. SIC system, and less detail than
is required to meet important analytical requirements in the U.S. The
three country agreement on NAICS envisions that each country may
develop national detailed industries below the NAICS industry level, so
long as the national detail can be aggregated to the NAICS
classification, thus assuring full North American comparability.
The ECPC is proposing U.S. 5-digit industry detail for the NAICS
industry subsector covered in Part I of this notice. For cases where no
5-digit detail is shown, the ECPC is proposing that the NAICS 4-digit
industries will also represent the most detailed U.S. industries.

Elsewhere Classified.

Description of Changes to the U.S. System

[[Page 4578]]
changed are listed below; other cases where Canada or Mexico moved
toward the U.S. classification are not, of course, listed in this
section.
Eight new industries were added to the 1997 industry structure for
this industry subsector. The eight industries created were:
Passenger Car and Light Duty Truck Manufacturing and Heavy Duty
Truck Manufacturing, both from parts of 1987 SIC 3711, Motor Vehicles
and Passenger Car Bodies. The industry association suggested making
additional industries from 1987 SIC 3711. The new industries are
defined by high specialization, and in the case of Passenger Car and
Light Duty Truck Manufacturing, large capital-intensive production
facilities. This is a change for all three countries.
Engine and Engine Part Manufacturing, Motor Vehicle Steering and
Suspension Component (Except Springs) Manufacturing, and Motor Vehicle
Transmission and Power Train Part Manufacturing from parts of 1987 SIC
3714, Motor Vehicle Parts and Accessories. The industry suggested
making additional industries from 1987 SIC 3714 and the production
processes are sufficiently distinct to justify separate industries.
Mexico already had separate industries for engines and for transmission
and power trains, and Canada had a separate industry for steering and
suspension so the U.S. change also facilitated international
comparability.
Motor Vehicle Brake System Manufacturing from parts of 1987 SIC
3292, Asbestos Products, and 1987 SIC 3714, Motor Vehicle Parts and
Accessories, to achieve international comparability. Mexico and Canada
already had separate industries for brake system manufacturing.
Motor Vehicle Fabric Accessory and Seat Manufacturing from parts of
1987 SIC 2396, Automotive Trimmings, Apparel Findings, and Related
Products; 1987 SIC 2399, Fabricated Textile Products, NEC; and 1987 SIC
2531, Public Building and Related Furniture. This change was made for
international comparability, and is an improvement on production
grounds.
1987 SIC 3694, Electrical Equipment for Internal Combustion
Engines, is combined with part of 1987 SIC 3679, Electronic Components,
NEC, and part of 1987 SIC 3714, Motor Vehicle Parts and Accessories, to
form NAICS Electrical Equipment for Internal Combustion Engine
Manufacturing.
Three industries were transferred into NAICS Transportation
Equipment Manufacturing:
1987 SIC 3465, Automotive Stampings, is renamed Motor Vehicle Metal
Stamping to achieve international comparability and for the reasons
noted in the Changes to National Classifications section above. The
United States moved to match Canada and Mexico.
1987 SIC 3592, Carburetors, Pistons, Piston Rings and Valves, is
renamed Carburetor, Piston, Piston Ring and Valve Manufacturing to
achieve international comparability. Canada had these in CSIC 32,
Transportation Equipment Industries.
1987 SIC 3647, Vehicular Lighting Equipment, is renamed Vehicular
Lighting Equipment Manufacturing to achieve international
comparability. Canada had this in CSIC MG 32, Transportation Equipment.
Also, four activities were transferred into the 1997 Transportation
Equipment Manufacturing.
Stationary engine radiators from 1987 SIC 3519, Internal Combustion
Engines, NEC, to Other Motor Vehicle Part Manufacturing, to achieve
international comparability. The U.S. and Mexico moved to match Canada,
because the production of radiators is a similar process whether for
stationary or nonstationary engines.
Gasoline, oil and intake filters for internal combustion engines,
except those for motor vehicles, from 1987 SIC 3599, Industrial and
Commercial Machinery and Equipment, NEC, to Other Motor Vehicle Part
Manufacturing, to achieve international comparability. The U.S. moved
to match Canada and Mexico, because the production of filters is a
similar process whether for stationary or non stationary engines.
Railway maintenance of way equipment from 1987 SIC 3531,
Construction Machinery and Equipment, to Railroad Rolling Stock
Manufacturing, to achieve international comparability. The U.S. moved
to match Canada and Mexico.
Tricycles made primarily of metal from 1987 SIC 3944, Games, Toys,
and Children's Vehicles, Except Dolls and Bicycles, to Motorcycle,
Bicycle, and Part Manufacturing, to achieve international
comparability. The U.S. and Canada moved to match Mexico. Plastic
tricycles remain in toy manufacturing.
Three activities were transferred out of 1987 Major Group 37,
Transportation Equipment Manufacturing, and are described more fully in
their new respective NAICS subsectors.
Boat repair done outside boat yards was transferred from 1987 SIC
3732, Boat Building and Repairing, into the Services subsector.
Locomotive fuel lubricating or cooling medium pumps were
transferred from 1987 SIC 3743, Railroad Equipment, into the Machinery
Manufacturing subsector.
Wheelbarrows from 1987 SIC 3799, Transportation Equipment, NEC,
were transferred into Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing in the
Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing subsector.
Several activities were transferred within the Transportation
Equipment Manufacturing subsector. The number of transportation
equipment industries increased from 18 in 1987 to 28 in 1997. For time
series linkage, all but 3 of the 18 1987 industries are comparable
within three percent of the 1997 industries. One of the three is an NEC
industry.
