| 00-9816 | North American Industry Classification System-Update for 2002 | Notice | Under Title 44 U.S.C. 3504(e), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) seeks public comment on the advisability of adopting the proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) updates for 2002. OMB's Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC) recommends an update of the industry classification system to extend the harmonized three-country classification structure to construction and to recognize important changes in the retail trade and information sectors. In addition, as an interim measure in the United States, the ECPC recommends restructuring of the Wholesale Trade sector to reflect differences in production functions and to capture more accurately the rapidly-growing business-to-business electronic markets developing in the United States. This notice: (1) Summarizes the background for the proposed revisions to NAICS 1997 in Part I; (2) contains a summary of public comments in Part II; (3) details the proposed structure changes agreed upon by the three countries in Part III; and (4) provides a comprehensive listing of proposed changes for national industries and their link to NAICS 1997 industries in Part IV. OMB published a notification of intention to complete portions of NAICS in a February 25, 1999, Federal Register notice (64 FR 9416- 9419). That notice solicited comments on the advisability of revising the NAICS 1997 structure for 2002 and solicited comments on the creation of new industries in the Construction and Wholesale Trade Sectors, modifications to the national industries for department stores and nonstore retailers, and other changes identified as necessary during the initial implementation of NAICS 1997. The deadline for submitting comments was April 26, 1999. After considering all proposals from the public, consulting with a large number of U.S. data users and industry groups, and undertaking extensive discussions with Statistics Canada and Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Estadistica, Geografia e Informatica (INEGI), the ECPC, INEGI, and Statistics Canada developed a revised structure for both the Construction and Information sectors of NAICS that would apply to all three North American countries. For Wholesale Trade, after extensive discussions with Statistics Canada and INEGI, the representatives of the three countries' statistical agencies decided to delay three-country changes to this sector and instead plan for a complete restructuring of the distribution network industries (wholesale, retail, transportation, and warehousing) in 2007. In the interim the ECPC recommends restructuring the Wholesale Trade sector to reflect differences in production functions between those wholesalers that take title to goods and those that do not, and to capture more accurately the rapidly-growing business-to-business electronic markets developing in the United States. The ECPC also developed proposed additional U.S. industry detail in the Retail Trade sector for NAICS United States. The ECPC recommends that NAICS United States 2002 incorporate these changes as shown in Parts III and IV. Following an extensive process of development and discussions by the ECPC, with maximum possible public input, OMB seeks comment on the advisability of revising NAICS to incorporate the changes published in this notice. The modified NAICS would be employed in relevant data collections by all U.S. statistical agencies beginning with the reference year 2002. Statistics Canada and INEGI are recommending acceptance of the proposed revision of the NAICS system for industry classification in the statistical programs of their national systems and are seeking comments in their respective countries. Representatives of the three countries will hold further discussions to consider public comments that they receive. | 2000-04-20 | 2000 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/04/20/00-9816/north-american-industry-classification-system-update-for-2002 | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-04-20/pdf/00-9816.pdf | Management and Budget Office | 280 | Under Title 44 U.S.C. 3504(e), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) seeks public comment on the advisability of adopting the proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) updates for 2002.
