FEDERAL RESERVE statistical release G.17 (419) For release at 9:15 a.m. (EST) February 15, 2006 INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION Industrial production decreased 0.2 percent in January after upwardly revised gains of 0.9 percent in December and 1.1 percent in November. The output of utilities plummeted 10.1 percent in January as a result of the unseasonably warm temperatures. This drop is the largest monthly decline recorded in the thirty-four-year history of the index. Elsewhere, however, production expanded in January. Mining output climbed 1.7 percent, and manufacturing production rose 0.7 percent after increases of 0.5 percent in December and 0.7 percent in November; the gains in (over) INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION: SUMMARY Seasonally adjusted 2002=100 Industrial production 2005 Oct.r Nov.r Dec.r Total index Previous estimates 108.4 108.2 109.5 109.1 Major market groups Final Products Consumer goods Business equipment Nonindustrial supplies Construction Materials 111.5 106.5 123.1 109.6 112.4 104.9 Major industry groups Manufacturing (see note below) Previous estimates Mining Utilities 110.9 110.9 89.1 105.9 Capacity utilization Percent change 2006 Jan.p 2005 Oct.r Nov.r 110.5 109.8 110.3 1.1 1.0 1.1 .8 .9 .6 -.2 3.1 111.7 105.9 125.5 110.4 113.5 107.1 112.1 106.2 126.3 111.2 113.5 108.8 111.9 105.8 127.5 110.1 113.5 108.6 1.9 .1 7.0 1.1 2.3 .4 .2 -.5 2.0 .8 1.1 2.1 .3 .3 .7 .7 .0 1.6 -.1 -.4 .9 -1.0 .0 -.1 4.3 1.8 10.7 3.4 7.1 1.8 111.7 111.4 93.9 106.2 112.2 111.6 96.5 109.2 113.0 1.8 1.8 -1.3 -2.0 .7 .4 5.4 .3 .5 .2 2.8 2.8 .7 4.5 1.7 -10.1 -1.8 -4.7 Average 1994--95 1972--2005 high 2001--02 low 98.1 98.1 Percent of capacity 2005 2005 Jan.

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 its industrial output data from the SIC system to NAICS. manufacturing in November and December have both been revised up 0.3 percentage point. At 110.3 percent of its 2002 average, overall industrial output in January was 3.1 percent above its January 2005 level. Because of the drop in utilities output, the rate of capacity utilization for total industry decreased 0.3 percentage point, to 80.9 percent, just below its 1972--2005 average. Capacity utilization in manufacturing moved up in January to 80.5 percent, a rate 0.7 percentage point above its 1972--2005 average. Market Groups The output of consumer goods moved down 0.4 percent in January; a drop of 7.0 percent in the production of nondurable consumer energy goods more than accounted for the decline. The production of consumer durables increased 1.3 percent and was bolstered by jumps in the indexes for home electronics; appliances, furniture, and carpeting; and automotive products. The output of non-energy nondurable consumer goods advanced 0.6 percent. The indexes for paper products, chemical products, clothing, and foods and tobacco all moved up for the second month in a row. The production of business equipment rose 0.9 percent to a level that was 10.7 percent above its year-ago level. All of the major categories of business equipment contributed significantly to the overall increase; the largest increase, of 2.6 percent, was in transit equipment. After three months of increases, the index for defense and space equipment declined 0.7 percent and now stands nearly 8 percent above its year-ago level. Production of business supplies fell 1.4 percent, held down by a drop in commercial energy products; production of non-energy business supplies increased 0.8 percent. The index for construction supplies was unchanged for a second consecutive month after three months of large increases. The production of industrial materials inched down in January. A drop of 1.3 percent in the output of energy materials was mostly offset by a gain of 0.5 percent in the output of nondurable materials and an increase of 0.4 percent in durable materials; the indexes for equipment parts, consumer parts, chemicals, and textiles all rose. Industry Groups Manufacturing production increased 0.7 percent in January and was 4.5 percent higher than it was in January 2005. The factory operating rate, at 80.5 percent, was the highest since July 2000. The output of durable goods rose 0.7 percent; significant increases were registered in electrical equipment, appliances, and components; motor vehicles and parts; and miscellaneous manufacturing. Durable goods industries with decreases in output in January included wood products, machinery, and primary metals. The production of nondurable goods rose 0.7 percent. Industries with output gains of 1 percent or more were petroleum and coal products, textile and product mills, and chemicals. Food, beverage, and tobacco products; printing and support; and plastics and rubber products posted small gains. Paper was the only nondurable industry with decreased output; production in this industry reversed some of the previous month’s gain. Production in the non-NAICS manufacturing industries (logging and publishing) rose 1.0 percent after a gain of 0.8 percent in December. Capacity utilization for industries in the crude stage of processing rose 1.6 percentage points, to 86.2 percent, a rate just 0.2 percentage point below its 1972--2005 average. For industries in the primary and semifinished stages, the utilization rate declined 1.5 percentage points, to 81.8 percent, as a result of the drop in utilities output. For finished goods producers, the utilization rate increased 0.5 percentage point, to 78.8 percent, a rate that is nearly 1 percentage point above its 1972--2005 average of 77.9 percent. Notice The data in this release include preliminary estimates of industrial capacity for 2006. Total industrial capacity is projected to expand 2.0 percent in 2006, nearly one-half percentage point faster than in 2005 but considerably less than the average gain of 3.4 percent over the past ten years. Manufacturing capacity is estimated to rise 2.5 percent after having expanded 2.1 percent in 2005; this acceleration primarily reflects a step-up in the pace of expansion outside of the high-technology industries. In 2006, as a result of small gains in electricity-generating capability, capacity at utilities is expected to increase 0.7 percent after being unchanged in 2005. Capacity at mines is expected to contract 0.9 percent. 2 Tables 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.

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 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 (pm ) and the estimate for previous month: 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 at www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17 at the Board’s World Wide Web site. 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 at the Board’s Web site. Instructions for searching for and downloading specific series are provided as well. For paid access to the data files through the Department of Commerce’s Economic Bulletin Board or World Wide Web site, please call STAT-USA at 1-800-STAT-USA or 202-452-1986. Diskettes containing historical data and the data published in this release also are available from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Publications Services, 202-452-3245. IA m = IA m–1 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 2002. 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 300 individual series based on the 2002 North American Industrial Classification System (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 web site (www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/About.html) . Changes in output for the market and industry groups are summarized in table 1 and the levels of output (in index form) are shown in table 4. Special aggregates, that highlight the relative importance and contributions of several key industries, such as high-technology and motor vehicles, are summarized in tables 2 and 5. For a detailed description of the contents of the statistical tables, see below. 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 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 computers, communications equipment, and 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 17 Imp m–1 Im–1p m–1 × Imp m Im–1p m The IP proportions (typically shown in the first column of the relevant tables in the 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 8 percent. If output in this industry increased 10 percent in a month, then this gain would boost growth in total IP by 8/10 percentage point (0.08 x 10% = 0.8%). To assist users with calculations, the Federal Reserve’s web site 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/ipweights.sa). 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 three 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 70 percent of the source data (in value-added terms) are available; the fraction of available source data increases to about 85 percent for estimates in the second month that the estimate is published, 96 percent in the third month, and 97 percent in the fourth month. Data availability by data type is summarized in the table below: Availability of Monthly IP Data in Publication Window (Percent of value added in 2004) Month of estimate Type of data 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Physical product 25 40 51 52 Production-worker hours 45 45 45 45 IP data received 70 85 96 97 IP data estimated 30 15 4 3 NOTE—The physical product group includes series based on either monthly or quarterly data. As can be seen in the first line of the table, in the first month, a physical product indicator is available for about half of the series (in terms of value added) that ultimately are based on physical product data (25 percent out of total of 52 percent). Of the 25 percent, about two-- thirds (17 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 third estimate of industrial production. Specifically, quarterly data are available for the second estimate of the last month of a quarter, the third estimate of the second month of a quarter, and the fourth estimate of the first month of a quarter. About 3 percent of the source data for monthly IP—all physical product measures—are available too late for direct inclusion in the current index and are incorporated at the time of an annual historical revision. 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 September 2005; for other series, the factors were estimated with data through at least June 2005. 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--2004 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--2004 period. In most cases (about 86 percent), the direction of 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 85 detailed industries (67 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-tech industries and manufacturing excluding high-tech 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 (e.g., paper, industrial chemicals, petroleum refining, motor vehicles), as well as for electric utilities and mining; these industries represent about 21 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 Survey of Plant Capacity (SPC); these industries account for a bit less than 75 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 4 percent of total industry capacity). A detailed description of the methodology used to construct the capacity indexes is available on the Board’s web site (www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/cap_notes.html). 18 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 was a survey of large companies that reported, on average, higher utilization rates than those reported by establishments covered by the SPC (currently the primary source of factory operating rates) for the fourteen years they overlapped. Adjustments have been made to keep the industry utilization rates currently reported by the Federal Reserve 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 SPC. Perspective. Over the 1972--2004 period, the average total industry utilization rate is 81.0 percent; for manufacturing, the average factory operating rate has been 79.8 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 shown in table 7 are specific to each series and do not all occur in the same month. REFERENCES AND RELEASE DATES References.
