r Revised. p Preliminary.
The statistics in this release cover output, capacity, and capacity utilization in the
industrial sector, which the Federal Reserve defines as manufacturing, mining, and electric and
gas utilities. Manufacturing consists of those industries included in the North American Industry
Classification System, or NAICS, manufacturing plus those industries-logging and newspaper, periodical,
book and directory publishing-that have traditionally been considered manufacturing and included
in the industrial sector.
