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 Proposed NAICS industry classification structure for
Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing, Chemicals Manufacturing, and
Rubber and Plastics Products Manufacturing; Broadcasting and
Telecommunications; and Foodservices and Drinking Places and
Accommodations.

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

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.
This notice, the third related to preparation of NAICS and the
first in a series seeking comment on proposed industry revisions,
presents the proposed NAICS structures for petroleum and coal products
manufacturing, chemical manufacturing, and rubber and plastics
manufacturing; broadcasting and telecommunications; and foodservices
and drinking places and accommodations.
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. OMB is publishing the proposed
new industry structure as soon as the drafting is completed, to provide
as much information as quickly as possible and to ensure extensive
public participation in the process. A final Federal Register notice,
to be published in the fall of 1995, 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 the 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.

DATES: To ensure consideration and response to all comments on the
proposals set forth in this notice, comments must be in writing and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Structure of Notice:

There are three parts to this notice. PART 1 includes the proposals
for petroleum and coal products manufacturing, chemicals manufacturing,
and rubber and plastics products manufacturing; PART 2 includes
broadcasting and telecommunications; and PART 3, includes foodservices
and drinking places and accommodations.

[[Page 38437]]

Each of the three parts of the notice is organized into two
sections. The first section includes a copy of the proposed agreement
signed by the 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. This will allow each country to 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 (not highlighted in structure).
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 organizations
that responded 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 Petroleum and Coal Products
Manufacturing, Chemicals Manufacturing, and Rubber and Plastics
Products Manufacturing

Section A--NAICS Structure

North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS)
Agreement Number 1
This Document represents the proposed agreement on the structure of
the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the
following industries:

Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing
Chemicals Manufacturing
Rubber and Plastics Products 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 May 18 and 19 in Ottawa, Canada.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System

Draft Classification for:
Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing
Chemicals Manufacturing
Rubber and Plastics Products Manufacturing

Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and
the United States have agreed to a draft industry classification for
these industries.
The draft classification provides for three industry subsectors,
Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing; Chemicals Manufacturing; and
Rubber and Plastics Products Manufacturing. These are further
subdivided into ten industry groups and thirty industries. These
industry subsectors will be part of the Manufacturing sector(s) of the
NAICS classification.

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 level of
the structure. All countries agree on the detailed definitions of the
industries.
The classification improves comparability with other countries.
With the exception of the ``miscellaneous'' industries, all industries
are compatible with the 2-digit level of the current International
Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC,
Revision 3) of the United Nations. This means that each NAICS industry
is the same as, or part of, a single ISIC 2-digit Division. Therefore,
data tabulated using NAICS can be readily re-tabulated according to
ISIC. This comparability extends to higher levels of the NAICS. For
example, there is little difference between the NAICS Chemical
Industries, and ISIC 24, Manufacture of Chemicals and Chemical
Products.
Objectives of the NAICS project other than comparability are not so
relevant in the classification of these subsectors as in others. These
objectives are the delineation of new and emerging industries, service
industries and industries engaged in the production of advanced
technologies. These manufacturing industry subsectors are relatively
mature, generally produce goods, and have always employed relatively
advanced technology. Therefore the emphasis in developing this area has
been on the production concept and comparability.
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 at the NAICS industry
level have been kept to a minimum. 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.

Limitations of the Classification

On the other hand, there are some analytical requirements that
cannot be met by the proposed industry classification. In particular,
there is a demand for data on the production of all articles of
plastic. This cannot be accommodated by the proposed industry
classification due to the ubiquity of plastics in manufactured
products. Many industrial activities that incorporate plastics in
combination with other materials are classified elsewhere in
manufacturing.
Similarly, a breakdown of plastics industries that follows market
lines cannot be produced. This arises from the fact that, in general,
plastics fabricators can and do switch production from one type of
product to another as market conditions change. In some cases a market
or demand category does correspond to a distinct production process, in
which case an industry can be defined that supports the needs of both
supply-oriented and demand-oriented analyses. An example of this is the
NAICS Plastics Bottles Manufacturing industry. However, in general,
this is not possible because of the way businesses have organized their
production facilities.
Users requiring data for demand analysis can instead make use of
statistics based on commodity classifications. Each country publishes
such data. Efforts are underway to harmonize the commodity
classifications to allow comparability of these statistics.

Constraints on the NAICS Classification

A few factors constrained the structure and detail of the
classification in the area under consideration.
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 chemicals 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 for reasons of confidentiality, such
as the matches manufacturing industry in Canada. 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. It was preferable to adopt an operating rule that
the NAICS industries for this

[[Page 38439]]
area 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 significant nationally.
Other constraints did involve the nature of the industries to be
classified. In the case of chemicals, it was essential for NAICS to
include Petrochemicals Manufacturing as an industry, due to the
significance of this activity in Mexico. This is a major change for the
United States and Canada. It involves some extra work for these
countries in implementing the classification, since the direct
assignment of industry codes from commodity output information (a
common technique for most manufacturing industries) cannot be used
without modification. Nevertheless, the importance of the activity, and
the fact that it is based on a well-defined production process,
resulted in its inclusion in NAICS.
A General Outline

The Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing subsector is based on
the transformation of crude petroleum and coal into usable products.
The dominant process is petroleum refining, which involves the
separation of crude petroleum into component products through such
techniques as cracking and distillation.
The Chemicals Manufacturing subsector is based on the
transformation of organic and inorganic raw materials by a chemical
process, and the formulation of products. This subsector distinguishes
the production of basic chemicals, which comprises the first industry
group, from the production of intermediate and end products produced by
further processing of basic chemicals, which make up the remaining
industry groups.
Concerning Basic Chemicals Manufacturing industries, data users
will note that a general distinction has not been made between organic
and inorganic basic chemicals. The production of organic and inorganic
industrial gases is a single activity. In Mexico, the production of
organic and inorganic dyes and pigments commonly takes place in the
same establishments.
The industry subsector Rubber and Plastics Products Manufacturing
includes establishments that make goods by processing raw rubber and
plastics materials. To the extent possible, this subsector is
restricted to industrial activities whose core technology is the
production of products made of just one material, rubber or plastic.
Many manufacturing activities use rubber or plastic as one of several
inputs, to the extent that the core technology relates to the type of
product produced. An example of this is the manufacture of footwear.
Typically, more than one material is used to produce shoes, so
technologies that allow disparate materials to be formed and combined
are of central importance in describing the footwear manufacturing
activity. Such activities, for example footwear and furniture
manufacture, are generally classified elsewhere than in the industry
subsectors organized around the core technologies of rubber and
plastic.
The main exception to this principle is Tires and Tubes
Manufacturing. The production of tires is included in Rubber Products
Manufacturing to minimize the disruption of time series and for
comparability with ISIC, rather than because it particularly fits the
general production process of the major group subsector. Tires are
normally made from several materials.
A distinction is made between rubber and plastics products at the
industry group level. It is not a rigid distinction, as can be seen
from the definition of Rubber and Plastics Hose and Belting
Manufacturing. As materials technology improves, plastics are
increasingly being used as a substitute for rubber. Eventually, the
distinction may disappear as a basis for defining establishments, and
be limited to the commodity classification.
The Plastics Products Manufacturing industry subsector consists
generally of activities involving the processing of plastics materials
in forms such as pellets into intermediate or final products, using
such processes as extrusion and injection moulding. Within most of
these industries, the production process is such that a wide variety of
products can be produced.

Some Changes to the National Classifications

This section highlights some of the significant changes to existing
national classifications.
In Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing, the main change to an
existing classification is the inclusion of activities currently in
CSIC \1\ 2721, Asphalt Roofing Industry, in NAICS Asphalt Paving and
Roofing and Saturated Materials Manufacturing. It is included here
because the defining feature of the production process (the saturation
of paper with asphalt) is the manipulation of asphalt.

\1\ CSIC refers to the Standard Industrial Classification of
Canada, 1980 Revision. USIC refers to the Standard Industrial
Classification of the United States, 1987 Revision. CMAP refers to
the Classification of Activities and Products of Mexico.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The production of alumina from bauxite is currently classified in
USIC 2819, Industrial Inorganic Chemicals, NEC. The production of
alumina does involve the use of a chemical process, but it is analogous
to the chemical activities involved in the processing of other ores in
smelting and refining industries. It will therefore be treated as an
activity in the primary metals, rather than in NAICS Other Inorganic
Chemicals Manufacturing.
The production of artificial and synthetic fibers is treated as a
textile activity in CSIC. While the outputs are a basic raw material
for textile production, the fiber production itself is an activity with
chemical characteristics. It is basically a polymerization process,
similar to the production of synthetic resins. It is therefore included
in the NAICS Chemicals Manufacturing subsector (Artificial and
Synthetic Fibers and Filament Manufacturing).
The manufacture of photographic chemicals and sensitized paper is
classified in CSIC 3912, Other Instruments and Related Products
Industry and in USIC 3861, Photographic Equipment and Supplies. NAICS
classifies the production of these goods in Miscellaneous Chemical
Products Manufacturing, since their production process is a chemical
products process, not an equipment manufacturing process.
The new classification eliminates the 2-digit distinction between
rubber products and plastics products that was found in CSIC (groups 15
and 16). NAICS combines CSIC group 15, rubber products, and group 16,
plastics products, into one subsector, Rubber and Plastics Products
Manufacturing.
NAICS Tires and Tubes Manufacturing includes an activity--the
retreading and recapping of tires--which in CSIC and USIC is classified
as non-manufacturing. The tire retreading and recapping activity is
included in manufacturing because it involves more than just a repair.
This activity is an example of ``re-building'', which occurs when a
manufactured article is returned to usability using processes similar
to those used in the original manufacturing operation. Re-building
activities will be included in manufacturing in NAICS.
NAICS Rubber and Plastics Products Manufacturing excludes the
manufacture of footwear, furniture and toys of rubber and plastic. This
is a significant change to CMAP, which includes these activities in
CMAP 3550, Rubber Industry and 3560, Manufacture of Plastics Products.

[[Page 38440]]

NAICS Unsupported Plastics Films, Sheet and Bags Manufacturing
includes the manufacture of plastic laminates for packaging and plastic
bags, which are classified respectively in USIC 2671, Packaging Paper
and Plastics Film, Coated and Laminated and 2673, Plastics, Foil and
Coated Paper Bags.
NAICS Other Plastics Products Manufacturing includes the
manufacture of most of the plastics motor vehicle parts, such as
interior and exterior trim of plastics, which are classified in CSIC
3256, Plastics Parts and Accessories for Motor Vehicles.

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. In the
following tables, proposed 5-digit detail is indicated in italics. 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.

rubber and plastics products industries. The number of rubber and
plastics products industries increased from 15 in 1987 to 17 in 1997.
For time series linkage, 13 of the 15 1987 industries are comparable
within three percent of the 1997 industries.
Part II--Proposed New Industry Structure for Broadcasting and
Telecommunications

Section A--NAICS Structure and Narrative

(NAICS)

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

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System

Draft Classification for:
Broadcasting and Telecommunications

Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and
the United States have agreed to a draft industry classification for
the Broadcasting and Telecommunications subsector. The draft
establishes three industry groups and nine industries. It has not yet
been determined in which industry sector in NAICS the Broadcasting and
Telecommunications industry subsector will be included.

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. The hierarchical
structure 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 NAICS industry level
of the NAICS structure with the exception of satellite
telecommunications, which will be published only in the United States.
All countries agree on the detailed definitions of the classes.
The classification improves comparability with other countries.
With the exception of radio dispatch services and radio and television
relay systems, all industries are compatible with the 2-digit level of
the current International Standard Industrial Classification of All
Economic Activities (ISIC, Revision 3) of the United Nations. Radio
dispatch services and radio and television relay systems activities are
not significant.
Other objectives of the NAICS project have also been met. In an
effort to identify high technology and new and emerging industries, new
industries for cable networks, and satellite telecommunications have
been identified. A relatively new economic development has been
identified by creating an industry for telecommunications resellers.
In addition to the above objectives of the NAICS project, the
classification meets the objectives of an industry classification. The
classifications are homogeneous and account for most of the activities
that define them. In addition, they are economically significant.
Finally, disruptions to time series at the NAICS industry level have
been kept to a minimum. The major changes in country detail are well-
defined and can be taken into account in linking time series.

Limitations of the Classification

There are some limitations to the draft Broadcasting and
Telecommunications hierarchy. First, the proposed structure attempts to
describe the subsector as it currently exists. It is therefore rooted
in today's technology and regulatory environment and it reflects the
current profile of service providers. However, many are anticipating
fundamental changes in this sector. For instance, the distinction
between the Wired Telecommunication Carriers industry

[[Page 38446]]
and the Cable and Program Distribution industry may not be viable in
the future if both industries are engaged in the carriage of voice
(basic telephone service), data, and video (including television
programs). Similarly, the systems that are now used to distribute
television programs may well be used in the future to distribute other
types of products such as games and software or be used for other
purposes such as interactive home shopping or banking. In such an
environment, the provision of menus, interactive controls, and billing
services could become an integral part of the bundle of services
provided by carriers.
Secondly, it may be argued that for some purposes a number of
industries that are important users of telecommunications, as outlined
in the proposal, should be included in this subsector. These include
telephone answering services and other message services that may
include the use of paging and voice mail, phone booth operations, and
on-line information services. These industries have not been included
in this subsector as they are users of telecommunications services, not
providers of the telecommunications services as defined in the
proposal. They will be classified elsewhere in NAICS.
These few examples illustrate the difficulty of building a
classification for an evolving sector that will stand the test of time.

Constraints on the NAICS Classification

A number of industries that can appropriately be defined in terms
of production distinctions could not be published in all countries
because of considerations of size and confidentiality.

A General Outline

The Broadcasting and Telecommunications subsector has been defined
to include establishments providing point-to-point communications and
the services related to that activity. The industry groups (Radio and
Television Broadcasting, Cable Networks and Program Distribution, and
Telecommunications) are based on differences in the methods of
communication and in the nature of services provided.
The Radio and Television Broadcasting industry group operates
broadcasting studios and facilities for over the air or satellite
delivery of radio and television programs of entertainment, news, talk,
and the like. These establishments are often engaged in the production
and purchase of programs and generate revenues from the sale of air
time to advertisers, and from donations, subsidies, and/or the sale of
programs. The distinction between radio and television broadcasting
involves the use of equipment dealing in audio versus audio/video
signal.
The Cable Networks and Program Distribution industry group includes
two types of establishments. Cable networks operate studios and
facilities for the broadcasting of programs that are typically
narrowcast in nature (limited format such as news, sports, education,
and youth-oriented programming). The services of these establishments
are typically sold on a subscription or fee basis and the delivery of
the programs to customers is handled by other establishments that
operate cable systems, direct-to-home satellite systems, or other
similar systems. These distribution systems establishments are
classified to the Cable and Program Distribution industry.
The Telecommunications industry group is primarily engaged in
operating, maintaining, and/or providing access to facilities for the
transmission of voice, data, text, sound, and full motion picture video
between network termination points. A transmission facility may be
based on a single technology or a combination of technologies.
Wired Telecommunications Carriers operate and maintain switching
and transmission facilities (usually land lines and microwave) to
provide one-to-one communications via landlines (including microwave)
or a combination of landline and satellite communications.
Wireless Telecommunications Carriers, Except Satellite operate and
maintain switching and transmission facilities to provide one-to-one
communications via airwaves. The United States classification further
distinguishes wireless carriers on the basis of technology by
separating paging services and other wireless services such as cellular
and personal communications services.
Telecommunications Resellers provide services similar to those of
telecommunications carriers but do not operate and maintain a network.
They principally purchase the services of carriers for resale to
customers.
The Satellite Telecommunications industry principally provides
point-to-point communications services to other establishments in the
telecommunications and broadcasting industries by forwarding
communications signals via a system of satellites. The Other
Telecommunications industry includes establishments that specialize in
the provision of other types of services such as satellite tracking,
radar station operations, and overseas telecommunications (except for
satellite telecommunications).

Some Changes to the National Classifications

This section highlights some of the significant changes to the
existing national industry classification systems.
The only change to USIC 4832 Radio Broadcasting Stations is to add
detail to separate the radio networks from the radio stations. It was
felt that the programming function of the network was a significant
production difference. There is a significant change for Mexico in that
the draft proposes the elimination of the designation of private versus
public.
The change in the Television Broadcasting industry for the U.S. is
restricted to a title change to clarify the proper classification for
television networks. The issue of private versus public television is a
change for Mexico.
Cable Networks is similar to Radio Broadcasting, in that the
programming function is being used to identify these establishments as
a separate industry. This would be a new classification for all three
countries.
Cable and Program Distribution establishments are separated from
the cable networks based on the absence of the programming function.
This would be a new industry for all three countries.
The Wired Telecommunications Carriers industry group has been
changed to include the activities of USIC 4822 Telegraph and Other
Message Communications. Detail was also added for carriers and
resellers. USIC 4822 has been a declining industry and has assumed more
and more of the characteristics of the wired telecommunications
industry. This change also improved comparability with both Mexico and
Canada.
Recent changes in the telephone industry have paved the way for new
businesses. The most prevalent are the telecommunications resellers. A
reseller purchases communications services from the telecommunications
carrier and resells the services to its customers. The reseller does
not operate the communications network but instead may operate only the
switching system to connect customers to the carriers' network.
Telecommunication Carriers and Telecommunications Resellers are new
industries for all three countries. It is a new economic development
and, as such, is being identified as a new and emerging industry.

[[Page 38447]]

Changes in the Wireless Telecommunications Carriers, Except
Satellite industry involve moving radio dispatch from USIC 4899 and
adding detail to reflect different technologies and updating the
terminology. The production function of radio dispatch is similar to
that of wireless telecommunications. This change also increased
comparability with Canada and Mexico. Paging was found to have a
distinct production function. Canada could not support this activity as
a NAICS industry so it was added as a 5-digit U.S. industry. Wireless
Telecommunications Carriers, Except Satellite will be a new industry
for all three countries.
Satellite Telecommunications is a new industry in all three
countries. It is a new technology that is now being identified as a new
and emerging industry.
Other Telecommunications is a new industry for all three countries.

Section B--Annex: United States National Industry Detail

As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, 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 this NAICS
industry subsector. In the following tables, proposed 5-digit detail is
indicated in italics. 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

The Broadcasting and Telecommunications subsector has been
completely restructured for 1997 to reflect the changing technology of
the subsector. New industries are the following:
Radio Networks from part of 1987 Industry Code 4832, Radio
Broadcasting Stations.
Radio Stations from part of 1987 Industry Code 4832, Radio
Broadcasting Stations.
Cable Networks from part of 1987 Industry Code 4841, Cable and

4841, Cable and Other Pay Television Services.
Wired Telecommunications Carriers from part of 1987 Industry Code
4813, Telephone Communications, except Radiotelephone and Industry Code
4822, Telegraph and Other Message Communications.
Paging from part of 1987 Industry Code 4812, Radiotelephone

Satellite Telecommunications from part of 1987 Industry Code 4899,
Communications Services, Not Elsewhere Classified.
Other Telecommunications from part of 1987 Industry Code 4899,
Communications Services, Not Elsewhere Classified.
The number of industries in this industry subsector increased from
7 in 1987 to 11 in 1997. For time series linkage, 4 of the 7 1987
industries are comparable within three percent of the 1997 industries.
For the other 3 industries, changes involve splitting a part of 1987
SIC 4-digit industries to obtain more industry detail, in response to
new economic and technological developments in this subsector; the new
more detailed industries can readily be reaggregated for analytical
purposes where time series comparability is important.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System

Draft Classification for:
Foodservices and Drinking Places Accommodations

Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and
the United States have agreed to a draft industry classification for
Foodservices and Drinking Places and Accommodations. These are further
subdivided into six industry groups and ten industries.

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. The hierarchical
structure 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 NAICS 4-digit
industry level of the NAICS structure with the exception of Casino
Hotels, which will be published only in the United States. All
countries agree on the detailed definitions of the industries.
The classification improves comparability with other countries. The
grouping of the Accommodations Subsector with the Foodservices and
Drinking Places Subsector achieves comparability with the International
Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC,
Revision 3) of the United Nations at the 2-digit level, with the
exception of doughnut shops which are included in the Foodservices and
Drinking Places Subsector in NAICS and in the Manufacturing Division in
ISIC. This means that the NAICS classification is the same as, or part
of, a single ISIC 2-digit Division.
Other objectives of the NAICS project have also been met. New
industries for different types of restaurants have been designated.
These classifications reflect changes in the industry that have
occurred in the past but have never been identified in the
classification system.
In addition to the above objectives of the NAICS project, the
classification meets the objectives of an industry classification. The
industries are homogeneous and they are economically significant.
Finally, disruptions to time series at the NAICS industry level have
been kept to a minimum. In the United States, the major changes to
existing classifications at the country level establish additional
detail in the industry group, which can readily be linked to construct
time series.
Foodservices and Drinking Places

Limitations of the Classification

There are some limitations to the draft foodservices and drinking
places hierarchy. A number of related industries that provide
foodservices as a secondary activity are not included. These are such
activities as dinner theaters, dinner cruises, and fraternal
organizations that provide foodservices to their members. These
activities are not included in this industry subsector but will be
classified in other service related industry subsectors based on their
primary activity.

Constraints on the NAICS Classification

A number of industries that can appropriately be defined in terms
of production distinctions could not be published in all countries
because of considerations of size and confidentiality. In addition, the
way activities are combined in establishments differs to some extent in
the different countries. 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.

A General Outline

The foodservices and drinking places grouping of industries is
defined to include establishments that are primarily engaged in
preparing meals, snacks, and beverages to customer order for immediate
consumption, primarily on the premises. Within the subsector Food
Services and Drinking Places, the industry groups (Full-Service
Restaurants; Limited-Service Eating Places; Special Foodservices; and
Bars, Taverns, and Other Drinking Places) reflect the level of service
provided. The NAICS industries are described below.
Full-Service Restaurants provide a complete menu of full meals and
full waiter/waitress service.
Limited-Service Eating Places provide a limited menu, limited
waiter/waitress service, or both. This group is separated into limited-
service restaurants and cafeterias. Limited-Service includes fast food
and take out, plus cafeterias which are distinguished based on the
cafeteria-style serving equipment. Refreshment places include doughnut
shops, pretzel shops, cookie shops, coffee shops, and other such
locations that primarily prepare and provide a single-item menu of food
and drink for immediate consumption. Establishments that primarily
resell food and drink prepared elsewhere, and that do not provide an
eating place, are classified in retail trade.
Special Foodservices provide foodservices under special conditions.
The group distinguishes Foodservice Contractors, Caterers, and Mobile
Caterers. Foodservice Contractors operate under a long term contract to
provide foodservices primarily in institutional, office, or industrial
locations. Caterers provide event-based foodservice for both households
(weddings, etc.) and industrial accounts (trade shows, etc.). Mobile
Caterers are distinguished based on the use of a specialized vehicle
and mobile service. Food carts that prepare foods rather than merely
selling food prepared elsewhere are classified in this industry.
Bars, Taverns, and Other Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages) are
distinguished based on the use of special equipment, training and
skills in the preparation and serving of alcoholic beverages.

Some Changes to National Classification

This section highlights some of the significant changes to existing
national industry classifications. For foodservices, all countries have
had separate industries based on food versus alcoholic beverages;
however, this draft proposes new detail for the U.S. and a redefinition
of many of the industries for both Canada and Mexico.
For Canada, this draft regroups the activities included in CSIC
9211, 9212,

[[Page 38450]]
and 9213. Full-Service includes some of the operations that are
currently in CSIC 9211 and 9212. The remaining establishments in these
industries, namely those providing limited service are combined with
the establishments in CSIC 9213 to form the Limited-Service Eating
Places industry of NAICS. New detail for foodservices contractors,
caterers, and mobile caterers has been established from within CSIC
9214.
For Mexico, parts of CMAP 931011 (all but cafeterias, dining cars,
and vending machines), 931013, and 931015 are combined in the full-
service classification. CMAP 931012 (except industrial cafeterias),
931014, and 931015 make up the new Limited-Service Eating Place
industry group.
For the United States, USIC 5812 is split into separate detail for
full-service, limited-service, and special services restaurants with
additional U.S. detail for special services including foodservice
contractors, caterers, and mobile caterers, a total of six new
industries.

Accommodations

Limitations and Constraints of the NAICS Classification

There are some limitations to the draft accommodations structure.
Accommodation establishments, especially hotels and motels, provide
many services other than lodging. For example, many establishments have
restaurants. Others have recreational facilities. Small establishments
with very limited lodging facilities may offer no amenities at all.
Hotels and motels are accordingly not homogeneous with respect to the
services they provide. Moreover, this is by far the largest industry in
the subsector. Nevertheless, no acceptable way was found to clearly
demarcate the hotel and motel industry into more detailed industries
that would be collectible in all three countries, and would apply to
the operations of the industry in all three countries. 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 NAICS industry level in order to ensure full
comparability among the three countries.
A General Outline

The accommodations area is defined to include establishments that
are primarily engaged in providing short-term accommodations. The
industry groups and industries within accommodations have been grouped
based on the various levels of services and facilities provided. The
NAICS industries are described below.
Hotels and Motels primarily provide traditional types of lodging
services to travelers. In addition to lodging, a range of other
services may be provided.
Casino Hotels include both lodging and gaming casinos as an
integrated facility. Both the lodging and gaming services are generally
major operations and a separate industry has been created to classify
these establishments. Casino Hotels are classified in this industry
regardless of whether separate data are available for the gambling and
hotel activities of these establishments. This industry is becoming
large in the United States, though it does not currently exist in
Canada and Mexico.
Other Traveler Accommodations include bed and breakfast
establishments, hostels, and other establishments that provide lodging
to travelers but provide few of the types of ancillary services that
hotels and motels commonly provide.
Recreational Vehicle Parks and Camps provide special types of
accommodations for travelers, vacationers, and others. The facilities
are often outdoors (such as campsites) and are recreational in nature.
Rooming and Boarding Houses include establishments renting rooms,
with or without board, for indefinite periods. This industry primarily
includes establishments known as rooming houses and student residences.

Changes to the National Classifications

This section highlights some changes to each country's current
industry classification of accommodations. The most significant are:
For the United States, the distinction between membership and non-
membership organizations that provide lodging has been deleted from the
classification. Such activities will be classified based upon the type
of accommodations being provided. The current industry for hotels and
motels (SIC 7011) has been divided into four NAICS industries. Also,
separate industries for recreational vehicle parks and sporting camps
have been combined.
For Canada, the proposal regroups four existing industries (CSIC's
9111, 9112, 9113, 9114) into two NAICS industries within the Traveler
Accommodations industry group. In addition, three existing industries
have been combined into a recreational vehicle parks and camp industry.
For Mexico, the proposal regroups three existing industries (CMAP's
932001, 932002, 932012) into two NAICS industries within the industry
group for traveler accommodations.

Section B--Annex: United States National Industry Detail

As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, the
three country agreement on NAICS envisions that each country may choose
to 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 III of this notice. In the
following tables, proposed 5-digit detail is indicated in italics. 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.
