SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) is a system for
classifying establishments (individual
business locations) by type of economic
activity. NAICS was jointly developed
by Canada, Mexico, and the United
States in 1997. NAICS helps ensure that
establishment data produced across the
Federal statistical system are
comparable and can be used together in
analysis.
It is important to note that NAICS is
designed and maintained solely for
statistical purposes. Consequently,
although the classification may also be
used for various nonstatistical purposes
(e.g., for administrative, regulatory, or
taxation functions), the requirements of

Sfmt 9990
government agencies or private users
that choose to use NAICS for
nonstatistical purposes play no role in
its development or revision.
For the 2017 revision, Canada,
Mexico, and the United States focused
on new and emerging industries as well
as updating the structure of the oil and
gas industries in Subsector 211, Oil and
Gas Extraction. The August 4, 2015,
Federal Register notice: (1) Summarized
the background for the proposed
revisions to NAICS 2012 in Part I; (2)
contained a summary of public
comments to the first Federal Register
notice (79 FR 29626–29629, May 22,
2014) for the 2017 NAICS revision
process in Part II; (3) included a list of
recommended title changes for NAICS
industries that clarify, but do not
change, the existing content of the
industries in Part III; and (4) provided
a comprehensive listing of
recommended changes for national
industries and their NAICS 2012
industries analogue(s) in Part IV.
In response to the ECPC
recommendations in the August 4, 2015,
Federal Register, comments that were
received supported proposed changes,
or suggested changes that would be
incompatible with proposals that were
accepted.
Final Decisions
After taking into consideration
comments submitted in direct response
to the May 22, 2014, Federal Register
notice, as well as benefits and costs, and
after consultation with the Economic
Classification Policy Committee,
Mexico’s Instituto Nacional de
´
´
Estadıstica y Geografıa (INEGI) and
Statistics Canada, OMB, with one minor
exception, made no changes to the
scope and substance of the ECPC’s
recommendations outlined in the
August 4, 2015, Federal Register notice.
OMB’s final decisions regarding
revision of NAICS for 2017 are to adopt
the recommendations contained in the
August 4, 2015, Federal Register notice,
with an additional title modification for
NAICS 33522 from ‘Major Appliance
