 G.17 (419) 2015 Historical and Annual Revision                      For release at 10:00 a.m. (EDT)

                                                                     July 21, 2015



 Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization: The 2015 Annual Revision





       The Federal Reserve has revised its index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of

 capacity and capacity utilization.1  Total IP is now reported to have increased slightly less than 2-1/2

 percent per year, on average, from 2011 through 2013 before advancing about 4-1/2 percent in 2014 and

 falling back somewhat in the first half of 2015.2  Relative to earlier reports, the current rates of change

 are lower--especially for 2012 and 2013.  For the most recent recession, total IP still shows a

 peak-to-trough decline of about 17 percent, and the dates for the peak and trough are unaltered.  However,

 the lower rates of change for recent years indicate that the recovery in the industrial sector since the

 trough has been slower than reported earlier.  Total IP is now estimated to have returned to its

 pre-recession peak in May 2014, seven months later than previously estimated.



       This revision advanced the base year for the IP index and incorporated newly available annual data on

 output and prices.  The base year for IP was advanced from 2007 to 2012, which raised the level of the

 index in all periods.  The updated IP indexes incorporated new detailed data for manufacturing from the

 U.S. Census Bureau's 2012 Economic Census and 2013 Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) as well as revised

 data from the 2011 ASM.  For publishing, the IP indexes folded in data for 2013 from the Census Bureau's

 Service Annual Survey.  In addition, the indexes were updated with annual data for 2014 from the Department

 of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for metallic and nonmetallic minerals.  Data on prices from

 the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) were also incorporated.



       The monthly estimates of production were updated to include late-arriving or revised monthly or

 quarterly indicator data (either outputs from or inputs to production), and they also now reflect

 recalculations of seasonal factors.  In addition, new high-frequency indicators were incorporated for a few

 production indexes.



       Capacity utilization rates were revised down for recent years.  In the second quarter of 2015,

 capacity utilization stood at 77.8 percent, a rate more than 2 percentage points below its long-run

 (1972-2014) average.  Relative to earlier estimates, utilization for total industry is about 3/4 percentage

 point lower in the fourth quarters of 2012 and 2014 and about 1-1/2 percentage point lower in the fourth

 quarter of 2013.  The lower estimates for utilization reflected revisions to both industrial production and

 capacity.  Utilization was revised downward as a result of the weaker industrial production estimates.

 Lower estimates for capacity, however, tempered the downward revision to utilization.



        The revised estimates of capacity and capacity utilization incorporated data for the manufacturing sector

 from the Census Bureau's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization for the fourth quarter of 2014,

 along with new data on capacity primarily for the energy and mining sectors from the USGS, the U.S.

 Department of Energy, and other organizations.  The revised estimates also include new data on capital

 spending from the 2012 Economic Census.  Capital expenditures data from the 2013 ASM are not yet available.



 RESULTS OF THE REVISION



       The tables show the summary statistics for the annual revision.  Tables 1A and 1B present the

 monthly, quarterly, and annual average index levels for total IP and for total capacity and capacity

 utilization for January 1985 through June 2015, along with the percent changes in total IP.  Tables 2 and 3

 show the revised rates of change in IP from 2011 through the first half of 2015 for market groups, industry

 groups, special aggregates, and selected detail.  Table 4 shows the annual rates of change for total IP and

 for major market and industry groups for 2010 through 2014.  Table 5 presents the revised rates of change

 in capacity by industry groups for 2011 through the first half of 2015.  Tables 2 through 5 also show the

 differences between the revised and previous estimates of the rates of change.  Table 6 contains the

 revised capacity utilization rates for the fourth quarters of 2011 through 2014; it also shows the

 differences between the revised and previous estimates.  Table 7 reports revised semiannual rates of change

 for IP for the second half of 2010 through the first half of 2015.  Table 8 contains revised capacity

 utilization rates for the second and fourth quarters from the fourth quarter of 2012 through the second

 quarter of 2015.  Tables 9A, 9B, 10A, 10B, 11A, and 11B report the revised production, capacity, and

 utilization measures for manufacturing, total industry excluding selected high-technology industries, and

 manufacturing excluding selected high-technology industries.  Table 12 displays the annual proportions in

 IP by market and industry groups for 2007 through 2014.  Table 13 reports revised IP indexes for the major

 market and industry groups for the previous six months; and it also reports revised capacity utilization

 rates for the same period.  Table 14 shows price indexes for data networking equipment for 2001 through

 2013.



 Industrial Production



        Revisions to the changes in total IP show lower rates of change in recent years than were previously

 estimated (figure 1 and tables 2 and 7).3  After having declined sharply during the recession, total IP is

 still reported to have rebounded strongly in 2010 and then to have increased moderately in each year from

 2011 to 2013; industrial production advanced solidly in 2014 and fell back somewhat in the first half of

 2015.  However, the gains in 2012 and 2013 are each 1 percentage point weaker than previously stated,

 putting the trajectory of the recovery on a lower path.  As currently reported, total IP did not return to

 its pre-recession peak until May 2014; previously, it was estimated to have reached that level in October

 2013.



        On net, the revision resulted in lower estimates for manufacturing IP and higher estimates for mining IP

 than previously reported; the estimates for utilities are little revised.  In particular, manufacturing

 output is currently reported to have increased only about 1-1/2 percent, on average, in 2012 and 2013,

 whereas it was previously stated to have averaged gains of more than 3 percent over those two years.4  As

 currently reported, manufacturing IP had not yet recovered to its pre-recession peak by June 2015; indeed,

 it was more than 4 percent below that level.  Prior to the revision, manufacturing IP was reported to have

 returned to its pre-recession level by November 2014.  In contrast, increases in the extraction of crude

 oil and natural gas have boosted the index for mining in recent years, and the revised estimates show even

 stronger rates of change for 2012 through 2014 than reported earlier.



 Production by Industry Group



        The rates of increase in manufacturing from 2011 through the first half of 2015 are now lower than

 reported earlier, particularly for 2012 and 2013, the years for which the majority of benchmark data became

 available.  Since 2011, the output indexes for both durables and nondurables are now stated to have moved

 up more modestly than previously reported, and lower rates of change were widespread across industries.



       The production of durables is currently estimated to have risen about 3-1/2 percent in 2012 and just

 over 2 percent in 2013; previously, it was stated to have advanced about 6 percent and 5 percent,

 respectively.  For 2014, the index for durable manufacturing is now reported to have moved up about 5

 percent, a solid rate by historical standards but still a lower gain than previously recorded.  The output

 of durables has edged down so far in 2015.



       Within durables, most industry groups posted gains in output for most years since 2011.

 Nevertheless, by mid-2015, the indexes for many major categories of durables were still below their

 pre-recession levels.  Relative to earlier estimates, with the exception of furniture, the gains in each

 industry group over this period are now reported to be, on net, lower than those stated earlier.  In

 particular, the contours for fabricated metal products; machinery; computer and electronic products,

 electrical equipment, appliances, and components; and miscellaneous manufacturing show much slower gains

 than previously reported.



       The output of selected high-technology industries moved up 8.0 percent in 2011 and 9.8 percent in

 2012 before recording only modest gains the next two years and falling back so far in 2015 (table 3).

 Relative to previous estimates, the increase in high-tech output is now smaller in recent years, especially

 in 2012 but also in 2013 and 2014.  The downward revisions largely arose, on net, from weaker production of

 semiconductors, which more than outweighed a substantial upward revision to computers and peripheral

 equipment.



       The output of nondurable manufacturing industries declined sharply during the recession and has

 increased only modestly, on net, since then.  The index moved up less than 1/2 percent per year, on

 average, in 2011, 2012, and 2013 before increasing about 2-1/2 percent in 2014 and about 1-1/2 percent in

 the first half of 2015.  With this revision, the rates of increase for recent years are now lower than

 reported earlier.  Other than the indexes for food, for petroleum and coal products, and for plastics and

 rubber products, the indexes for major nondurables industries remain well below their pre-recession peaks.

 Relative to the previously published estimates, the contour for output in recent years is lower for food,

 for apparel and leather, and for chemicals, and it is higher for paper and for petroleum and coal products.



       The output index for industries not in the scope of manufacturing under the North American Industry

 Classification System (NAICS)--that is, logging and publishing--fell in every year from 2010 to 2014 and in

 the first half of 2015.  The decrease in 2013 is now somewhat less than previously reported as a result of

 new benchmark data from the Service Annual Survey.



       The production index for mining registered considerable gains in the period from 2011 through 2014

 owing to strong increases in oil and natural gas extraction over this period.  Although the index fell back

 in the first half of 2015, it remained at a high level by historical standards.  Rates of change in the

 output of utilities are very similar to previous reports.



 Production by Market Group



       The production index for final products and nonindustrial supplies fell substantially during the most

 recent recession, and then it rose between about 1-1/4 percent and 1-3/4 percent in each of 2011, 2012, and

 2013 before advancing more strongly in 2014; the output of this market group has fallen back somewhat in

 the first half of 2015 (table 2).  The post-recession recovery for final products and nonindustrial

 supplies is now reported to be weaker than earlier estimates suggested.  Relative to previous reports, the

 gains in the index for recent years--especially for 2012 and 2013--are now stated to have been smaller, and

 the decline in 2015 so far is less steep.  In June 2015, the index was about 5 percent below its

 pre-recession peak.



       The index for consumer goods now shows a weaker post-recession recovery than was previously

 estimated.  As currently stated, the output of consumer goods declined in 2012 and moved up in each year

 since.  Previously, output was reported to have advanced in 2012, and the rates of increase for overall

 consumer goods in 2011, 2013, and 2014 are now reported to be lower than estimated earlier.  These lower

 rates of change were widespread across categories of durables and nondurables.  The level of the index for

 consumer goods in June 2015 is now reported to be more than 7 percent below its pre-recession peak, whereas

 previously it was estimated to be only about 2 percent below its pre-recession peak.



       Following a sharp decline during the recession, the index for business equipment rose substantially

 through 2012, receded a bit in 2013, and then recorded a sizable gain in 2014 before declining again in the

 early part of this year.  Relative to earlier reports, output in 2013 was considerably weaker as a result

 of lower production across all major components of business equipment:  transit, information processing,

 and industrial and other equipment.  Still, the gains in other recent years were strong enough that, by

 mid-2015, each of the major components had either fully or nearly retraced its recession-era decline.



       The production of defense and space equipment is now estimated to have been much lower in recent

 years than reported earlier.  The index was little changed, on net, over the 2011-12 period, but it

 declined sharply in 2013 and has recovered only a small amount of that decline since then.  Previously, the

 output of defense and space equipment was estimated to have moved up in 2011, 2012, and 2013.



       The index for construction supplies has advanced solidly in recent years but stepped back a bit at

 the beginning of 2015.  Production expanded between about 2 and 5 percent in each year from 2011 to 2014.

 Notwithstanding these gains, the index in June 2015 had recovered only about half of its recession-period

 decline of 33 percent.  Compared with the index for construction supplies, the index for business supplies

 declined less steeply during the recession and rebounded less sharply during the recovery, and its most

 recent reading was about 5 percent below its pre-recession peak.



       The output of materials has recovered strongly since the recession; however, as currently estimated,

 the recovery is not quite as strong as previously estimated.  Still, by mid-2015, it stood about 10 percent

 above its pre-recession peak.  The production of materials advanced, on average, just under 3-1/2 percent

 over the 2010-12 period; output moved up more rapidly in 2014 and has fallen back somewhat in the first

 half of 2015.



       Within materials, the recovery from the recession has been uneven.  In every year from 2011 through

 2014, all categories of durable goods materials and for energy materials have increased.  By contrast, the

 output of nondurable materials declined in 2011, was little changed in 2012, 2013, and so far in 2015; it

 moved up about 1 percent in 2014.  Relative to earlier estimates, on net, the indexes for both durable and

 nondurable materials have been lower in recent years, while the output of energy materials has been higher.



 Capacity



       Total industrial capacity contracted in 2010 before increasing in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 (table

 5).5  Capacity is expected to increase further in 2015.  Relative to previous estimates, the gains in total

 industrial capacity are somewhat smaller in recent years, especially in 2014.



       After having decreased each year from 2008 to 2010, manufacturing capacity rose modestly in each year

 from 2011 through 2014 and is expected to move up again in 2015.  The strongest gain in recent years was in

 2012 when manufacturing capacity advanced 1.9 percent.  Relative to earlier estimates, the gains in recent

 years, particularly in 2014, are now weaker.  Capacity in durable manufacturing industries advanced

 modestly in each year from 2011 to 2014, and it is expected to continue along that path in 2015.  The rate

 of change in durable manufacturing capacity is now reported to have increased at a somewhat slower rate in

 recent years; much of that weakness is attributable to lower estimates for the capacity index for selected

 high-technology industries.  For nondurable manufacturing, capacity contracted in each year from 2008 to

 2011 before increasing in 2012 and flattening out in 2013 and 2014; the gain in 2015 is expected to be

 modest.  Relative to the previous estimates, the rate of change for nondurables manufacturing capacity is

 now estimated to have increased somewhat more in 2012 and to have shown less of a gain in 2014.  The

 capacity index for non-NAICS manufacturing has registered declines or been unchanged in each year since

 2007.



       Capacity at mines increased sharply in each year from 2011 through 2014; further gains are expected

 in 2015.  Relative to previous estimates, the rate of change in 2011 is now smaller, but the rates in other

 recent years are larger.  Capacity at utilities increased in each year from 2011 to 2014, with another

 increase expected in 2015; the revised gains are little changed from the earlier estimates.



       By stage of processing, capacity recorded gains of 4 percent or more in each year from 2011 through

 2014; capacity is expected to increase further in 2015.  Relative to previous estimates, the increases in

 capacity at the crude stage are now reported to be considerably higher in 2012 and 2013 and a little lower

 in 2011 and 2014.  Capacity at the primary and semifinished stages then increased in 2011 through 2014,

 with further expansion expected for 2015.  The largest difference between the previous and current

 increases in capacity at the primary and semifinished stages is that the gain in 2014 is now estimated to

 have been smaller.  For finished goods industries, the contour of capacity shows noticeably weaker gains in

 recent years.  Capacity for these producers declined in 2011 and then recorded moderate gains in 2012,

 2013, and 2014, with similar-sized gains expected for 2015.  The rates of change for capacity in the

 finished goods stage are smaller than previously reported for recent years.



 Capacity Utilization



       After having dropped steeply during the recession, capacity utilization rose briskly in 2010, more

 moderately in 2011, and then was little changed, on net, through 2013.  Capacity utilization moved up in

 2014, but it has fallen back somewhat in the first half of this year.6  In the second quarter of 2015,

 capacity utilization for total industry was 77.8 percent, a rate 2.3 percentage points below its long-run

 average of 80.1 percent (table 6 and table 8).  Compared with earlier estimates, capacity utilization for

 total industry is now reported to have been about 3/4 percentage point lower in 2012 and 2014 and about

 1-1/2 percentage point lower in 2013.



       The capacity utilization rate for manufacturing increased only modestly, on net, in the

 post-recession period from 2011 to 2013; it moved up more strongly in 2014 before falling back a bit thus

 far in 2015.  Relative to previous reports, the capacity utilization rates for manufacturing are now lower

 in recent years because the downward revisions to the estimates of production were larger than the downward

 revisions to the estimates of capacity.  At 75.8 percent, the rate for June 2015 was 1.4 percentage points

 below its previously published level and 2.7 percentage points below its long-run average.



       The utilization rate for durable manufacturing posted gains in each year from 2011 to 2014, when it

 reached its long-run average of 76.9 percent, although it has fallen back so far in 2015.  Among durable

 goods manufacturers in the second quarter of 2015, 6 of the 11 major industry groups in table 6 were

 operating at utilization rates above their long-run averages:  fabricated metal products; electrical

 equipment, appliances, and components; motor vehicles and parts; aerospace and miscellaneous transportation

 equipment; furniture and related products; and miscellaneous goods manufacturing.  Only the nonmetallic

 mineral products industry was operating at a rate far below its long-run average.



       The utilization rate for nondurable manufacturing increased less than 1 percentage point, on net,

 between 2011 and the second quarter of 2015, when it was 77.3 percent, more than 3 percent below its

 long-run average.  The rates for nondurables in 2012, 2013, and 2014 are at least 2-1/2 percent lower in

 each year than was previously estimated.



       As of the second quarter of 2015, among nondurable manufacturing industry groups, that of petroleum

 and coal products was operating at a rate just above its long-run average; the operating rates for all

 other categories were still below their industry-specific long-run averages (tables 6 and 8), with the

 rates for apparel and leather and for printing and support being well below their long-run averages.



       For 2011, 2012, and 2013, capacity utilization rates for mining were close to 88.5 percent, a rate

 that is 1 percentage point above its long-run average.  The utilization rate at mines moved up to 90.7

 percent in 2014, but with the recent decline in drilling IP, it fell to 84.7 percent in the second quarter

 of 2015.  Relative to earlier estimates, capacity utilization in mining is now reported to be a little

 higher in recent years.  The operating rates for utilities have been below their long-run average of 85.9

 percent for the past several years.  The current estimates of utilization at utilities are very similar to

 the previously reported rates.



 TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THE REVISION



       The industrial production statistics are monthly production indexes that represent the level of real

 output relative to a base year.  At the monthly frequency, movements of the indexes are based on indicators

 that are derived using industry-specific data from a variety of government and private sources.  The

 monthly production indexes, however, are anchored to annual benchmarks that are less timely but typically

 based on more-comprehensive data.  Annual revisions to the industrial production and capacity measures

 involve (1) incorporating into the indexes new monthly or quarterly data that were revised or arrived too

 late to be included in the regular six-month reporting window for monthly IP; (2) updating seasonal

 adjustment factors; (3) incorporating new annual benchmark data on output, prices, and value-added

 proportions; and (4) updating the methods used to construct the indexes.



       This revision includes comprehensive annual data for both 2012 and 2013 for manufacturing production.

 The results of the Economic Census for 2012 and the Annual Survey of Manufactures for 2013 became available

 since the previous annual revision was published in March 2014.  In addition, updated results from the ASM

 for 2011 were incorporated.  For most industries, this revision integrated producer price indexes (PPIs)

 from the BLS.  For a few selected industries, updated price indexes constructed by the Federal Reserve were

 incorporated.7  In addition, the benchmark indexes for logging, metallic and nonmetallic mining, and

 publishing were advanced through 2013 or 2014 based on data from the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S.

 Geological Survey, and the U.S. Census Bureau.



       The revised IP indexes include information from the Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization

 for 2014 and from other industry reports.  The indexes also incorporate revised monthly and quarterly

 source data on production, shipments, and inventories.



 Conversion to the 2012 North American Industry Classification System



       Industrial production and capacity utilization are structured to follow a single-industry

 classification system.  With this revision, the industrial production and capacity indexes were classified

 according to the 2012 NAICS; previously, they were classified according to the 2007 NAICS.  To maintain

 consistent time series, the transformation of the indexes to the 2012 NAICS covers the period from 1972

 forward.



       For the industrial sector, the primary difference between the 2007 NAICS and the 2012 NAICS involves

 several instances where multiple closely-related six-digit 2007 NAICS categories were consolidated into a

 single six-digit 2012 NAICS category.  For example, under the 2007 system, NAICS 331311 (Alumina Refining)

 and NAICS 331312 (Primary Aluminum Production) were separate industries, but under the 2012 system, they

 have been merged into NAICS 331313 (Alumina Refining and Primary Aluminum Production).  Overall, more than

 70 six-digit 2012 NAICS categories have different coverage than they did in the 2007 NAICS.



       The implementation of the 2012 NAICS contributed to a reduction in the number of industrial

 production and capacity indexes.  Prior to this annual revision, 312 individual industrial production

 indexes and 89 individual capacity indexes covered the industrial sector from 2012 forward.  With this

 revision, 299 individual production indexes and 88 individual capacity indexes are estimated for the same

 period.



 Annual Benchmark Real Output Indexes



       The annual benchmark output indexes for IP are measures of real gross output at the six-digit NAICS

 level.  The Census Bureau provides annual figures for value added and the cost of materials for

 manufacturing industries, which can be summed to obtain nominal gross output.  The benchmark indexes for

 this revision incorporated revised information for 2011 and updated and new information for 2012 and 2013

 from the Economic Census and the ASM.



       To obtain individual benchmarks of real gross output, the measures of nominal gross output were

 deflated by annual price deflators.  For most industries, this revision incorporated the BLS PPIs as the

 deflators for the IP benchmarks for recent years.  Prior to the current revision, the benchmark IP indexes

 primarily reflected annual shipments deflators for six-digit NAICS industries from the Bureau of Economic

 Analysis (BEA); however, these deflators are no longer available at that level of detail.  In general, the

 benchmark industry price deflators consist of information from the BEA through 2011 and are extended

 through 2013 with the related PPIs.8



  Changes to annual benchmark index for computer storage device manufacturing



       This revision updates the price index that is used to deflate nominal gross output in the annual

 benchmark index for computer storage device manufacturing (NAICS 334112).9  The new industry-level price

 index is a chain-weighted Fisher price index that combines information from IDC on prices for large-scale

 storage devices (devices with three or more drives) with product price indexes from the BLS for related

 parts and accessories, for secondary products, and for miscellaneous receipts.  The weights used in the

 chain aggregation are derived from each product's share of overall industry shipments as published in the

 Economic Census and ASM.  Prior to the current annual revision, the annual benchmark index used the BEA's

 industry shipments deflator, which was based on BLS PPIs for the full range of products in the industry.



       The segment of the new price deflator that was based on large-scale storage devices was constructed

 using quarterly frequency data from IDC on factory revenue and the number of units shipped for the 2002-14

 period.  These data cover more than 700 models and, using further detailed information on installation

 type, transmission protocol, and redundancy, yielded over 1,500 distinct items.  Item prices were

 constructed by dividing revenue by terabytes of capacity shipped.  The overall price index was constructed

 using a "matched model" method that aggregates the item-level relative price changes with weights based on

 revenue using a Fisher-ideal index formula.



       The new price deflator for computer storage device manufacturing falls considerably faster than the

 previously used deflator.  From 2002 through 2014, the new price deflator fell, on average, almost 23

 percent per year, whereas the previous deflator fell about 7 percent per year.  The more rapid declines in

 the new price deflator imply much faster real output growth for the industry than was reported earlier.



  Changes to annual benchmark index for communications equipment



       With this revision, the benchmark price deflators for various components of communications equipment

 were updated.  For the period from 2007 through 2013, the price index for enterprise and home voice

 equipment is constructed from data on units and the value of shipments for a variety of types of enterprise

 telephones.  Previously, the price index for this period used similar information from the Telecom Industry

 Association (TIA); however, data are available at a quarterly frequency (rather than annual) from Dell'Oro,

 and they include more-detailed product-level information than the TIA data.  For the period from 2001

 through 2006, the price index continues to use product-level data on units and shipments from the Consumer

 Electronics Association (CEA) that are even more detailed than the Dell'Oro data.  An adjustment is imposed

 for the 2007-13 period to account for the difference in the average rate of change between the price index

 based on the Dell'Oro data and the price index based on the CEA data for the overlap period from 2002 to

 2006.  Previously, an analogous adjustment accounted for differences between the price indexes constructed

 from the TIA data and from the CEA data.



       The benchmark price deflators were also updated for the period from 2002 forward for different types

 of transmission, local loop, and legacy central office equipment.  For wave division multiplexing (WDM)

 products--equipment used in fiber-optic communications--the price index is now derived from detailed prices

 based on measures of a transmission capacity (price per wavelength port); previously, the price index for

 WDM products relied on detailed prices of different categories of WDM equipment (for example, long-haul,

 metro).  The new price index more carefully accounts for the increase in capacity per unit for each

 equipment category over time.



       An updated benchmark price index was also constructed for other (non-fiber optic) long-haul

 transmission equipment.  For the period beginning in 2009, this revision folded in quarterly frequency data

 from Dell'Oro on price per port for three kinds of microwave transmission equipment:  time-division

 multiplexing microwave, packet microwave, and hybrid microwave.  Prior to this revision, the price index

 for other (non-fiber optic) long-haul transmission equipment was constructed as a weighted average of the

 relevant PPI (two-thirds weight) and the fiber-optic transmission index (one-third weight) for the period

 beginning in 2009.  The updated index prior to 2009 continues to use this weighted average.



       The benchmark price index for wireless networking equipment was updated with this revision.  For each

 of the five categories of cellular base stations, the price indexes are now based on average price per

 transceiver rather than price per unit.  The new price measures better account for the increase in wireless

 signal transmission capacity per base station over time.  The underlying data continue to be from Dell'Oro

 Methodological Changes to Individual Production Indexes



       A few production indicators were affected by methodological changes in this revision.



   Gypsum



       With this annual revision, the IP index for gypsum (NAICS 32742) has been updated to incorporate

 quarterly data on short tons of calcined gypsum from the Gypsum Association as a preliminary indicator

 until the primary indicator becomes available.  The primary indicator for the gypsum industry output

 continues to be quarterly data from the USGS.  Typically, the Gypsum Association data are issued one month

 earlier than the USGS data.



   Nuclear materials



       With this revision, the IP index for nuclear materials (NAICS 32518, part) incorporates data on

 uranium enrichment capacity from URENCO, the nation's sole supplier of enriched uranium to nuclear power

 utilities.  The enrichment technology used by URENCO dictates that processes are always operating at full

 utilization, so a measure of capacity is also a measure of output.  Previously, the production indicator

 for nuclear materials used sales of electric power to other uranium enrichment facilities, but all of these

 other facilities have closed.



   Reweighting of within-industry products



       For many indexes that are constructed from information on a variety of products, the high-frequency

 indicator for industry output is derived from a weighted sum of these products.  With this annual revision,

 the weights applied to the various products for these indexes were reviewed.  In general, the product

 weights reflect the long-term relative prices of those products.  For industries where the relative prices

 of the various products have remained stable over time, it was not necessary to change the formulas.

 However, weights in the formulas were updated for the following three industries where the relative prices

 of various products had evolved markedly:  other nonmetallic mineral mining and quarrying (NAICS 21239),

 farm machinery (NAICS 333111), and travel trailer and camper (NAICS 336214).



 Changes to Individual Capacity Indexes



   Fertilizer



       With this revision, the capacity index for fertilizer (NAICS 32531) beginning in 1997 is based on

 data for capacity in short tons from The Fertilizer Institute for anhydrous ammonia, ammonium nitrate,

 ammonium sulfate, urea and ammonium nitrate solutions, phosphoric acid, and urea.  For the period prior to

 1997, the capacity index is still based on utilization rates from the Census Bureau's Survey of Plant

 Capacity.



 Adjustments to Market Groups



        The industrial production indexes are organized in two main ways:  industry groups and market groups.

 Industry groups reflect a supply-oriented classification where the output is grouped based on the NAICS

 industries of the producers.  Market groups reflect a demand-oriented classification where output is

 grouped according to the purchaser and by how the output is used.  An industry's output is often allocated

 across a variety of market groups.  Whenever possible, an industry's market group allocation is determined

 through detailed product-level data.  For example, the IP index for steel mill products (NAICS 3311 and

 NAICS 3312) uses data from the American Iron and Steel Institute that includes information on the

 end-market (for example, automotive, construction, or oil patch) classifications for different types of

 steel.  These classifications are used to allocate the production of steel mill products to different

 market groups.  For industries where market-level detail is not available, an industry's market group

 allocation is determined based on information provided in the BEA's Input-Output (I-O) tables, which are

 issued every five years.



        This revision incorporates information from the BEA's 2007 I-O tables (which were published in late 2013)

 to update the weights that are used to allocate industry output across various market groups.  For years

 after 2007, the allocation weights were assumed to be identical to those for 2007.  Between 2002 (the year

 covered by the previous I-O table) and 2007, the shares are linear combinations of the 2002 and 2007

 weights.  If the I-O tables indicate that only a very small share of an industry's output is consumed by a

 particular market group, the allocation weight for that market group will be zero.



        With the incorporation of the 2007 I-O tables, the market group allocation for only one industry,

 chocolate and confectionery manufacturing (NAICS 31135), needed to be updated.  Previously, the market

 group allocation followed the 2002 I-O tables, which indicated that the overwhelming majority of output of

 chocolate was supplied to consumers.  Consequently, the output of this industry had been assigned entirely

 to the foods and tobacco component of nondurable consumer goods.  Following the 2007 I-O tables, the

 revised market group structure assigns 70 percent of the output of the chocolate industry to the foods and

 tobacco group and the remainder to miscellaneous nondurable materials.



  Weights for Aggregation



       The IP system is organized as a hierarchical structure where the finest-level production indexes are

 aggregated using a version of the Fisher-ideal index formula to construct higher-level measures of

 production.  The weights that are used to combine individual IP measures into more aggregate measures are

 based on the value added from the industry, calculated as gross output less cost of materials.  For IP

 indexes that are defined at the six-digit (or more aggregate) NAICS level, the value-added weights are

 derived from the Economic Census or ASM.  For IP indexes that cover only part of a six-digit NAICS

 industry, the aggregation weights were constructed by allocating value-added for a six-digit industry

 across the various components of IP that compose that industry.  Data from the Economic Census and ASM on

 shipments of different types of products within a six-digit NAICS industry were used to determine the share

 of an industry's value-added that was assigned to each component IP index.



       The Federal Reserve derives estimates of value added for the electric and gas utility industries from

 annual revenue and expense data issued by other organizations.  The weights for aggregation for mining

 industries are derived from value-added data from the Economic Census.  For some industries, however, data

 are still not available for 2012, so the 2007 weights were extended based, in part, on commodities prices.



       The weights for aggregation expressed as value-added per unit were estimated with data on producer

 prices for the period after 2013.  Table 12 shows the annual value-added proportions in the IP index from

 2007 through 2014.



  Revised Quarterly and Monthly Data



        This revision incorporated product data that became available or were revised after the regular six-month

 reporting window for monthly IP was closed.  These data were released with too great of a lag to be

 included with monthly IP estimates but were available for inclusion in the annual revision.



  Revised Seasonal Factors



       Seasonal factors for production-worker hours--which adjust for timing, holiday, and monthly seasonal

 patterns--were updated with data through May 2015.  The updated factors for the physical product series,

 which include adjustments for holiday and workday patterns, used data through March 2015 where available.



       Seasonal factors for unit motor vehicle assemblies have been updated, and projections through

 December 2016 are available on the Board's website at www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/mvsf.htm.  These

 factors are based on production data through April 2015 and were revised back to January 1996.  The

 seasonal factors explicitly incorporate the holiday schedule for the vehicle assembly lines.  The AFL-CIO's

 current collective bargaining agreements with domestic manufacturers, however, expire at the end of the

 third quarter of 2015.  Factors for the fourth quarter of 2015 and for 2016 were estimated based on the

 holiday schedule in place over the past three years. Once the new agreements are finalized, the seasonal

 factors will be updated to reflect the agreed-upon holiday schedule over the terms of the contracts.

 Notice

 Data Availability and Publication Changes



       Files containing the revised data and the text and tables from this release are available on the

 Board's website at www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17, as are updated data for the annual revision and for

 all of the regularly issued series on industrial production, capacity, and capacity utilization.  As part

 of the reclassification from 2007 NAICS codes to 2012 NAICS codes, a number of changes will be made to the

 published indexes.  The aggregate index for all other basic inorganic chemicals (2007 NAICS 325188) has

 been discontinued.  Other changes are listed on the Board's website at www.federal

 reserve.gov/releases/g17/g17_revision_series.htm.



       A document with printed tables of the revised estimates of series shown in the G.17 release is

 available upon request to the Industrial Output Section, Mail Stop 82, Division of Research and Statistics,

 Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, DC 20551.



 1 The revision affected rates of change for IP from 1972 forward.  When necessary to maintain consistency

 with any revisions to the data for 1972 and subsequent years, the levels of the production and capacity

 indexes for the years before 1972 were multiplied by a constant.  However, utilization rates and the rates

 of change in IP for the years before 1972 were not revised.

 2 Rates of change are calculated as the percent change in the seasonally adjusted index from the fourth

 quarter of the previous year to the fourth quarter of the year specified.  For 2015, the rates are

 calculated from the fourth quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2015 and are annualized.

 3 In this section, all of the rates of change for a full year are calculated from the fourth quarter of the

 previous year to the fourth quarter of the reference year.  Rates of change on a half-year basis are shown

 in table 7.

 4 Manufacturing consists of those industries in the North American Industry Classification System

 definition of manufacturing, plus those industries--logging and newspaper, periodical, book, and directory

 publishing--that were in the manufacturing sector under the Standard Industrial Classification system.

 5 In this section, all of the rates of change for a full year are calculated from the fourth quarter of the

 previous year to the fourth quarter of the reference year.

 6 Unless otherwise noted, rates of capacity utilization are reported for the fourth quarter of the

 reference year.

 7 Price indexes for pharmaceuticals (NAICS 325412), for semiconductors (NAICS 334413), for most components

 of communications equipment (NAICS 3342), and for computer storage devices (NAICS 334112) are constructed

 by the Federal Reserve from alternative sources.  A table that lists annual and quarterly price indexes for

 the networking equipment component of communications equipment follows the text.

 8 Overall, at the industry level, the BEA measures and PPI measures are quite similar, as the BEA used

 weighted product-level PPIs to derive their industry-level shipments deflator.

 Note. The IP proportion data are estimates of the industries' relative contributions to the overall change in IP between the reference

       year and the following year.  For example, a 1 percent increase in durable goods manufacturing between 2014 and 2015 would

       account for a .381 percent increase in total IP.

 r  Revised.

 

 Note.  The statistics in this release cover output, capacity, and capacity utilization in the

 U.S. industrial sector, which is defined by the Federal Reserve to comprise manufacturing,

 mining, and electric and gas utilities. Mining is defined as all industries in sector 21 of the

 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS); electric and gas utilities are those in

 NAICS sectors 2211 and 2212. Manufacturing comprises NAICS manufacturing industries (sector 31-33)

 plus the logging industry and the newspaper, periodical, book, and directory publishing industries.

 Logging and publishing are classified elsewhere in NAICS (under agriculture and information

 respectively), but historically they were considered to be manufacturing and were included in

 the industrial sector under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system.  In December 2002

 the Federal Reserve reclassified all of its industrial output data from the SIC system to NAICS.

 NOTE: The production index in the table is calculated as the value of production

 divided by the price index and then indexed to 2012.  The production index does not

 reflect changes to IP for benchmark purposes and so it is not equivalent to the

 IP index for data networking equipment.

 Explanatory Note



 

 The Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization statistical

 release, which is published around the middle of the month, reports

 measures of output, capacity, and capacity utilization in

 manufacturing, mining, and the electric and gas utilities industries.

 More detailed descriptions of industrial production and capacity

 utilization are available on the Board's website at  www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17. In addition, files containing

 data shown in the release, more detailed series that were published in

 the G.17 prior to December 2000, and historical data are available

 from the Data Download Program on the Board's website.  Instructions

 for searching for and downloading specific series are provided as

 well.

 

 Industrial Production

 

 Coverage. The industrial production (IP) index measures the real

 output of the manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities

 industries; the reference period for the index is 2012.  Manufacturing

 consists of those industries included in the North American Industry

 Classification System, or NAICS, definition of manufacturing  plus those industries-logging and newspaper, periodical, book and

 directory publishing-that have traditionally been considered to be

 manufacturing and included in the industrial sector.  For the period

 since 1997, the total IP index has been constructed from 299

 individual series based on the 2012 NAICS codes. These individual

 series are classified in two ways: (1) market groups, and (2) industry

 groups.  Market groups consist of products and materials.  Total

 products are the aggregate of final products, such as consumer goods

 and equipment, and nonindustrial supplies (which are inputs to

 nonindustrial sectors).  Materials are inputs in the manufacture of

 products.  Major industry groups include three-digit NAICS industries

 and aggregates of these industries-for example, durable and

 nondurable manufacturing, mining, and utilities.  A complete

 description of the market and industry structures, including details

 regarding series classification, relative importance weights, and data

 sources, is available on the Board's website at ( www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/About.htm).

 

 Source data. On a monthly basis, the individual indexes of industrial

 production are constructed from two main types of source data: (1) output

 measured in physical units, and (2) data on inputs to the production

 process, from which output is inferred.  Data on physical products, such as

 tons of steel or barrels of oil, are typically obtained from private trade associations

 and from government agencies; data of this type are used to estimate

 monthly IP wherever possible and appropriate.  Production indexes for a

 few industries are derived by dividing estimated nominal output

 (calculated using unit production or sales and unit values) by a

 corresponding Fisher price index; the most notable of these fall within the

 high-technology grouping and include semiconductors.  When suitable data on physical product

 are not available, estimates of output are based on production-worker

 hours by industry.  Data on hours worked by production workers are

 collected in the monthly establishment survey conducted by the Bureau of

 Labor Statistics.  The factors used to convert inputs into estimates of

 production are based on historical relationships between the inputs and the

 comprehensive annual data used to benchmark the IP indexes; these

 factors also may be influenced by technological or cyclical developments.

 The annual data used in benchmarking the individual IP indexes are

 constructed from a variety of source data, such as the quinquennial

 Censuses of Manufactures and Mineral Industries and the Annual Survey

 of Manufactures, prepared by the Bureau of the Census; the Minerals

 Yearbook, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey of the

 Department of the Interior; and publications of the Department of Energy.

 

 Aggregation Methodology and Weights.  The aggregation method for

 the IP index is a version of the Fisher-ideal index formula.  (For a detailed

 discussion of the aggregation method, see The Federal Reserve Bulletin

 February 1997 and March 2001.)  In the IP index, series that measure the

 output of an individual industry are combined using weights derived from

 their proportion in the total value-added output of all industries.  The IP

 index, which extends back to 1919, is built as a chain-type index since

 1972.  The current formula for the growth in monthly IP (or any of the

 sub-aggregates) since 1972 is the geometric mean of the change in output

 (I), and, as can be seen below, is computed using the unit value added

 estimate for the current month (p_m) and the estimate for previous month:

 

 %     Equation not available in ascii file.

 

 The IP proportions (typically shown in the first column of the relevant

 tables in the monthly G.17 release) are estimates of the industries' relative

 contributions to overall growth in the following year.  For example, the

 relative importance weight of the motor vehicles and parts industry is

 about 6 percent.  If output in this industry increased 10 percent in a month,

 then this gain would boost growth in total IP by 6/10 percentage point

 (0.06 x 10% = 0.6%).  To assist users with calculations, the Federal

 Reserve's website provides supplemental monthly statistics that represent

 the exact proportionate contribution of a monthly change in a component

 index to the monthly change in the total index (www.federalreserve.gov/

 releases/G17/ipdisk/ipweightssa.txt).

 

 Timing. The first estimate of output for a month is published

 around the 15th of the following month. The estimate is preliminary

 (denoted by the superscript "p" in tables) and subject to revision

 in each of the subsequent five months as new source data become

 available. (Revised estimates are denoted by the superscript "r" in

 tables.)  For the first estimate of output for a given month, about 67

 percent of the source data (in value-added terms) are available; the

 fraction of available source data increases to 81 percent for

 estimates in the second month that the estimate is published, 93

 percent in the third month, 96 percent in the fourth month, 99 percent

 in the fifth month, and 99 percent in the sixth month. Data

 availability by data type in early 2011 is summarized in the table

 below:

 The physical product group includes series based on either monthly or

 quarterly data.  As can be seen in the first row of the table, in the

 first month, a physical product indicator is available for about one-half

 of the series (in terms of value added) that ultimately are based on

 physical product data (27 percent out of a total of 58 percent).  Of

 the 27~percent, about two-thirds (19 percent of total IP) include

 series that are derived from weekly physical product data and for

 which actual monthly data may lag up to several months.  On average,

 quarterly product data are received for the fourth estimate of

 industrial production.  Specifically, quarterly data are available for

 the third estimate of the last month of a quarter, the fourth estimate

 of the second month of a quarter, and the fifth estimate of the first

 month of a quarter.

 

 Seasonal adjustment. Individual series are seasonally adjusted using

 Census X-12 ARIMA. For series based on production-worker hours, the

 current seasonal factors were estimated with data through May 2015;

 for other series, the factors were estimated with data through at least

 March 2015.  Series are pre-adjusted for the effects of holidays or the

 business cycle when appropriate.  For the data since 1972, all seasonally

 adjusted aggregate indexes are calculated by aggregating the seasonally

 adjusted indexes of the individual series.

 

 Reliability.  The average revision to the level of the

 total IP index, without regard to sign, between the first and the

 fourth estimates was 0.27 percent during the 1987-2013 period.  The

 average revision to the percent change in total IP, without

 regard to sign, from the first to the fourth estimates was 0.21

 percentage point during the 1987-2013 period.  In most cases (about

 85 percent), the direction of the change in output indicated by the

 first estimate for a given month is the same as that shown by the

 fourth estimate.

 

 Rounding.  The published percent changes are calculated from unrounded

 indexes, and may not be the same as percent changes calculated from the

 rounded indexes shown in the release.

 

 Capacity Utilization

 

 Overview.  The Federal Reserve Board constructs estimates of capacity

 and capacity utilization for industries in manufacturing, mining, and

 electric and gas utilities.  For a given industry, the capacity utilization rate

 is equal to an output index (seasonally adjusted) divided by a capacity

 index.  The Federal Reserve Board's capacity indexes attempt to capture

 the concept of sustainable maximum output-the greatest level of output a

 plant can maintain within the framework of a realistic work schedule, after

 factoring in normal downtime and assuming sufficient availability of

 inputs to operate the capital in place.

 

 Coverage.  Capacity indexes are constructed for 88 detailed industries

 (70 in manufacturing, 16 in mining, and 2 in utilities), which mostly

 correspond to industries at the three- and four-digit NAICS level.

 Estimates of capacity and utilization are available for a variety of groups,

 including durable and nondurable manufacturing, total manufacturing,

 mining, utilities, and total industry.  Manufacturing consists of those

 industries included in the North American Industry Classification System,

 or NAICS, definition of manufacturing plus those industries-logging and

 newspaper, periodical, book and directory publishing-that have

 traditionally been considered to be manufacturing and included in the

 industrial sector.  Also, special aggregates are available, such as high-technology

 industries and manufacturing excluding high-technology industries.

 

 Source Data.  The monthly rates of capacity utilization are designed to be

 consistent with both the monthly data on production and the periodically

 available data on capacity and utilization.  Because there is no direct

 monthly information on overall industrial capacity or utilization rates, the

 Federal Reserve first estimates annual capacity indexes from the source

 data.  Capacity data reported in physical units from government sources

 (primarily from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of

 Energy's Energy Information Administration) and trade sources are

 available for portions of several industries in manufacturing (for example, paper,

 industrial chemicals, petroleum refining, motor vehicles), as well as for

 electric utilities and mining; these industries represent about 25 percent of

 total industrial capacity.  When physical product data are unavailable for

 manufacturing industries, capacity indexes are based on responses to the

 Bureau of the Census's Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity (QSPC); these

 industries account for a bit less than 70 percent of total industry capacity.

 In the absence of utilization data for a few mining and petroleum series, capacity

 is based on trends through peaks in production (roughly 5 percent of total

 industry capacity).  A detailed description of the methodology used to

 construct the capacity indexes is available on the Board's website

 (www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/CapNotes.htm).

 

 Aggregation Methodology.  Monthly capacity aggregates are calculated

 in three steps: (1) utilization aggregates are calculated on an annual basis

 through the most recent full year as capacity-weighted aggregates of

 individual utilization rates; (2) the annual aggregate capacity is derived

 from the corresponding production and utilization aggregates; (3) the

 monthly capacity aggregate is obtained by interpolating with a Fisher

 index of its constituent monthly capacity series.  Utilization rates for the

 individual series and aggregates are calculated by dividing the pertinent

 monthly production index by the related capacity index.

 

 Consistency.  A major aim is that the Federal Reserve

 utilization rates be consistent over time so that, for example, a rate

 of 85 percent means about the same degree of tightness that it meant

 in the past.  A major task for the Federal Reserve in developing

 reasonable and consistent time series of capacity and utilization is

 dealing with inconsistencies between the movements of the industrial

 production index and the survey-based utilization rates.  The

 McGraw-Hill/DRI Survey, now discontinued, was the primary source of

 manufacturing utilization rates for many years.  This survey of large

 companies reported, on average, higher utilization rates than those

 reported by establishments covered by the annual Survey of Plant

 Capacity (the primary source of factory operating rates through 2006,

 after which it was discontinued) for the fourteen years they

 overlapped.  Adjustments have been made to keep the industry

 utilization rates currently reported by the Federal Reserve (now based

 on the QSPC) roughly in line with rates formerly reported by

 McGraw-Hill.  As a consequence, the rates reported by the Federal

 Reserve tend to be higher than the rates reported in the Census

 utilization surveys.

 

 Perspective.  Over the 1972-2014 period, the average total industry

 utilization rate was 80.1 percent; for manufacturing, the average factory

 operating rate was 78.7 percent.  Industrial plants usually operate at

 capacity utilization rates that are well below 100 percent: none of the

 broad aggregates has ever reached 100 percent.  For total industry and

 total manufacturing, utilization rates have exceeded 90 percent only in

 wartime.  The highs and lows in capacity utilization are

 specific to each series and do not all occur in the same month.
