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.
