Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization: The 2010 Annual Revision

The Federal Reserve has revised the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of
capacity and capacity utilization. Although rates of change from January 1972 through May 2010 are affected,
the revision had its largest effect on data from 2006 through 2009. The annual data from the 2007 Census of
Manufactures and 2008 Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) were the largest sources of revision and implied
noticeably stronger output in 2007 (mostly in durable goods industries) and a larger drop in output in 2008
(mostly in nondurables). Nevertheless, the overall contour of total IP in recent years was little changed by the
revision: The index increased at a moderate rate in 2006 and 2007; it fell sharply in 2008 and declined further in
the first half of 2009. Relative to earlier estimates, measured from fourth quarter to fourth quarter, total IP is now
reported to have increased 0.7 percentage point and 0.5 percentage point more rapidly in 2006 and 2007,
respectively. The decrease in total IP in 2008 is now shown to have been 0.9 percentage point greater than
estimated earlier, but the decrease in 2009 is 0.9 percentage point less.1
The revision shows that the rate of capacity utilization for total industry was 0.7 percentage point higher
in the fourth quarter of 2007. At 71.1 percent, overall utilization in the fourth quarter of 2009 was 0.2 percentage
point below its previous estimate.
In this revision, the base year for the IP index was advanced from 2002 to 2007, which lowered the level
of the IP index for most periods. In addition to the new base, the revised IP indexes incorporated detailed data
from the 2007 Economic Census and the 2008 ASM, both conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. Data from
selected editions of the Census Bureau’s 2008 and 2009 Current Industrial Reports have also been incorporated
along with annual data from the U.S. Geological Survey regarding metallic and nonmetallic minerals (except
fuels) for 2008. The revised indexes reflect updated price deflators from the Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BEA). For this release, monthly indicators (either product data or input data) were revised, and the estimation
methods for some series were changed. The new monthly production estimates reflect the incorporation of
updated seasonal factors and monthly and quarterly source data that became available (or were revised) after the
closing of the reporting window.
Capacity and capacity utilization were revised to incorporate data from the Census Bureau’s Quarterly
Survey of Plant Capacity for the fourth quarters of 2008 and 2009, which covered manufacturing, along with
new data on capacity from the U.S. Geological Survey, the Department of Energy, and other organizations.
RESULTS OF THE REVISION
The tables show the summary statistics for the annual revision. Tables 1A and 1B show the monthly,
quarterly, and annual average index levels for IP and for capacity and utilization for January 1980 through May
1 Revisions to annual growth measured from fourth quarter to fourth quarter outside of 2007 and 2008 primarily resulted from the interpolation of the annual benchmark
data into quarterly figures. For example, an upward revision to the average level of IP for 2007 pulled output up in late 2006 and reduced it in early 2006; the average for
2006, however, would be unchanged.

2010, along with percent changes in IP. Tables 2 through 4 show the revised rates of change in IP from 2005
through 2009 for market groups, industry groups, special aggregates, and selected detail. Table 5 shows the
revised rates of change in capacity by industry groups for the 2006–10 period. Tables 2 through 5 also show the
difference between the revised and earlier rates of change. Table 6 shows the revised capacity utilization rates for
the final quarters of 2006 through 2009 and the difference between the revised and previous rates. Tables 7A, 7B,
8A, 8B, 9A, and 9B report the revised production, capacity, and utilization series for manufacturing, total
industry excluding selected high-technology industries, and manufacturing excluding selected high-technology
industries. Table 10 reports the annual proportions in IP by market and industry groups for 2002 through 2009.
Table 11 reports revised IP indexes and capacity utilization rates for the major market and industry groups for the
most recent six months.
Industrial Production
The changes in total IP were revised up for 2006 and 2007 (table 2), but the overall contour for recent
years was little changed—moderate gains for 2005 through 2007 are still followed by drops in the index in 2008
and 2009.2 After the revision, the recent trough in IP remained June 2009. The peak for IP prior to the recent
recession moved earlier, to September 2007; previously, it had occurred in December 2007. (The overall index
level in December 2007 had been about 0.3 percent above September 2007; it is now 0.2 percent below
September 2007.)
Production by Industry Group
Manufacturing production expanded during the 2005–07 period, on balance, before contracting sharply
in 2008 and again in 2009.3 The breadth of the decline in 2008 was noteworthy—the output index for every
major manufacturing industry fell during the year. For durable goods industries as a whole, output rose in each
year from 2005 through 2007, and the increase over this period was revised up, on net. The output of durable
goods output fell sharply in 2008, and that drop was little changed compared with the previous estimate. In 2009,
production of durable goods fell again but by less than previously estimated; smaller declines are now reported in
most industries with the exceptions of machinery and miscellaneous manufacturing. The industries with the most
notable upward revisions over the entire 2005–09 period were wood products, primary metals, machinery,
computer and electronic products, and aerospace and miscellaneous transportation equipment.
Production in nondurable manufacturing industries advanced in 2005 and in 2006. It was unchanged in
2007 but fell sharply in 2008 and moved down a bit in 2009. Over the 2005 through 2008 period, rates of change
in most nondurable goods industries were revised down. In 2008, all of the major components of nondurable
goods except for printing and support now show larger drops in their production indexes. In 2009, revisions were
mixed. Changes were revised down in the indexes for food, beverage, and tobacco products; apparel and leather;
printing and support; and plastics and rubber products. Rates of change were revised up for textile and product
mills; paper; petroleum and coal products; and chemicals.
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 each year from 2005 through 2009, and
revisions over this period were generally small and negative. The exception was 2009, which now shows a
smaller decline. The index for mining fell substantially in 2009 after being little changed during 2007 and 2008.
In 2008, the small decline was previously reported as a gain of about 1 percent, but in 2009, the index is now
shown to have fallen by less. The index for utilities is also nearly unchanged from previous estimates, with the
exception of 2008, for which the index now shows a small decline rather than a small advance.

this section, all the rates of change are calculated from the fourth quarter of the previous year to the fourth quarter of the reference year.
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 traditionally have been considered to be manufacturing.

The estimates for selected high-technology industries—computers and peripheral equipment,
communications equipment, and semiconductors and related electronic components—had sizable upward
revisions over the 2005–09 period (table 3). Output in the high-tech sector is still reported to have posted robust
gains from 2005 through 2007 followed by a decline in 2008. The output of high-technology industries turned
back up in 2009. The index for computers and peripheral equipment rose in each year from 2005 through 2007
and then fell in the next two years; the rates of change were revised up in most years. The index for
communications equipment posted strong gains over 2005 and 2006. It fell substantially in 2007 but moved
higher in the next two years. Rates of change for 2006 and 2009 were revised sizably upward, and those in 2007
and 2008 were revised significantly downward. The revisions for this industry reflect two factors. First, the
benchmark annual output index was close to the previous estimate of output for 2007 but substantially below the
earlier estimate for 2008. The change in the estimate for 2008 was primarily due to a very large downward
revision to data networking equipment that began in the middle of 2007 as domestic production facilities began
to close permanently.4 Second, from 2007 forward, the high frequency indicator series for the various
components of communications equipment are based on different data sources (discussed in more detail later),
which indicated a different quarterly pattern. The production of semiconductors and related components rose
solidly from 2005 through 2007, contracted significantly in 2008, but moved higher in 2009. The rates of change
were revised up over this period.
Production by Market Group
The production index for final products and nonindustrial supplies (table 2) posted moderate gains from
2005 through 2007 and then fell markedly in 2008 and 2009. The rates of change in the index are lower than
previously reported for 2005 and 2008 but slightly higher in 2006, 2007, and 2009.
The production of consumer goods rose in 2005 but was little changed in 2006 and 2007. It then moved
down significantly in 2008 and declined a bit further in 2009. Compared with previous estimates, output was
revised down noticeably in 2008; the revisions to other recent years were much smaller. The output of durable
consumer goods rose, on net, from 2005 through 2007, then dropped steeply in 2008 and posted a moderate
decline in 2009. The rates of change were revised up in each year from 2005 to 2007 and in 2009. Among
durable consumer goods, the revised index for automotive products increased more rapidly from 2005 through
2007. In 2008, the index now posts a steeper decline, but in 2009, its rebound is larger. The output of home
electronics was also revised noticeably; negative revisions in 2006 and 2008 offset positive revisions in 2005 and
2007, but in 2009 the rate of change in output revised up substantially to now show a small gain over the course
of the year.
The index for consumer nondurables shows gains in output for 2005 and 2006 and contractions for 2007
through 2009. Rates of change in the index for consumer nondurable non-energy goods display a similar pattern;
the index was little changed in 2005 and 2009 but revised down for 2006 through 2008. The largest revision
occurred in clothing, which is now shown to have declined substantially more steeply, on net, for 2005 through
2009. The index for consumer energy products posted gains from 2005 through 2008 but recorded a small
decline in 2009.
The production of business equipment increased solidly in 2005 and 2006, rose modestly in 2007, then
fell sharply in 2008 and again in 2009. Relative to previous estimates, the rate of change in the index was a bit
lower in 2005 but higher in the years following. Among its components, the output index for transit equipment
rose substantially in 2005 and 2006. It posted a modest gain in 2007 before plummeting in 2008, partly because
of weakness in the motor vehicle industry and partly because of a strike at a major aircraft producer in the second
half of the year. Production advanced in 2009 but by a bit less than the earlier estimate. Revisions to its rates of

previous estimate.

change from 2006 through 2008 were positive. The production of information processing equipment expanded in
each year from 2004 through 2008 but posted a modest decline in 2009; on net, the rates of change for this
market group were revised up. The production of defense and space equipment is now estimated to have risen
more rapidly, on balance, from 2005 through 2007. The decline in 2008 is now modestly larger than stated
previously, but the increase in 2009 is little changed.
After a gain in 2005, the output of construction supplies fell from 2006 through 2009. Relative to
previous estimates, the overall decrease since 2005 is little changed, with larger declines in 2007 and 2008 but
smaller drops in 2006 and 2009. The production of business supplies rose modestly from 2005 through 2007 and
then tumbled in 2008 and again in 2009. Revisions were relatively small in most years.
The index for materials was down slightly in 2005 but moved up in 2006 and 2007 before falling over the
next two years. The revisions to the change in output since 2005 for this group were generally upward with only
2005 and 2008 showing small downward revisions. The indexes for durable and nondurable materials both fell
more than 12 percent in 2008 after having increased moderately, on net, from 2005 through 2007. In 2009,
durable materials posted another large decline, but nondurable materials rose modestly. Relative to earlier
estimates, the net decrease over the 2005–09 window for durable materials is somewhat less, whereas the net
decline for nondurable materials is little different. The index for energy materials is now shown to have posted
small declines in 2008 and 2009. Previous estimates showed the indexes up slightly in 2008 and down
moderately in 2009. In prior years, energy materials moved higher on balance; revisions were relatively modest.
Capacity
Overall, total industrial capacity increased moderately from 2006 through 2009 but is expected to decline
in 2010 (table 5). The rates of change in both 2009 and 2010 have been revised up somewhat from earlier
estimates, but revisions to earlier years were smaller. With the notable exception of 2009, the contour of
manufacturing capacity and the revisions to that contour are roughly similar to those for total industry. In 2009,
factory capacity fell sharply, but increases in capacity for both mining and utilities helped overall capacity post a
modest increase.
Aggregate capacity for the selected high-technology industries rose in each year from 2006 through 2009
and is expected to post a sizable increase in 2010. Relative to previous reports, capacity in these industries rose
more quickly in 2006 and 2007 and less quickly in 2008 and 2009. Excluding high-technology industries,
manufacturing capacity expanded from 2006 through 2008. It declined in 2009 and is expected to fall again in
2010. The current estimates are similar to previous reports.
Capacity at mines expanded from 2006 through 2009 and is expected to be little changed this year. The
gains in 2008 and 2009 are now reported to have been stronger than previously published, but the rates of change
in 2007 and 2010 have been revised down. Capacity at electric and gas utilities has risen each year since 2006;
the gains in 2008 and 2009 were somewhat larger than in 2006 and 2007, and the increase this year is projected
to be slightly below the average over the preceding four years.
By stage of processing, after a large upward revision in 2009, capacity in the crude stage is now reported
to have risen every year from 2006 to 2009, although it is expected to fall in 2010. The rates of change for
capacity in the primary and semifinished stages were mostly revised up over the 2006–09 revision period. After
gains from 2006 to 2008, capacity at this stage fell in 2009, but by a bit less than earlier estimates, and it is
expected to fall again in 2010. Relative to previous estimates, changes to the index for finished goods were
revised down from 2006 through 2009. Despite the downward revisions, capacity for this stage of process still
rose from 2006 through 2008 and only fell modestly in 2009; it is expected to rise more in 2010 than estimated
previously.

Capacity Utilization
In 2006 and 2007, the capacity utilization rate for total industry stood a little above its long-run (1972 to
2009) average of 80.6 percent.5 It fell in 2008 and again in 2009 to a level in the fourth quarter of 2009 that was
about 9 1/2 percentage points below its long-run average (table 6). The utilization rate for total industry was
revised up noticeably in 2007 and down a bit in 2009. Revisions to 2006 and 2008 were slight. Manufacturing
capacity utilization stood at about its long-run average of 79.2 percent in 2006 and 2007. It fell sharply in 2008
and dropped further in the fourth quarter of 2009, to 68.8 percent, a rate more than 10 percentage points below
its long-run average. Relative to earlier reports, the factory operating rate was unrevised in 2006, was revised
down in 2008, and was revised up in 2007 and 2009.
Within durable goods, utilization rates for most industries were above their long-run averages in 2007 but
then dropped to well below their long-run averages over the next two years. Durable goods industries that saw
the largest declines in operating rates were wood products, nonmetallic mineral products, primary metals, and
motor vehicles and parts. In these industries, utilization rates tumbled 15 percentage points or more below their
long-run averages in 2008. Apart from motor vehicles and parts, utilization rates in all the other major durable
goods industries fell further in 2009. Capacity utilization rates were revised noticeably in a number of industries.
In particular, substantial downward revisions occurred in nonmetallic mineral products and motor vehicles and
parts. Sizable upward revisions over the 2006–09 window occurred in wood products; machinery; computer and
electronic products; electrical equipment, appliances, and components; and furniture and related products.
Utilization rates for most nondurable goods industries were a bit below their long-run averages in 2006 and
2007. Most fell substantially in 2008 and declined further in 2009. In the fourth quarter of 2009, four nondurable
goods industries (textile and product mills; paper; printing and support activities; and plastics and rubber
products) had utilization rates more than 10 percentage points below their long-run averages. Among nondurable
goods industries, the rates for apparel and leather, printing and support, and plastics and rubber products had the
largest downward revisions over the 2006–09 period; revisions in other nondurable goods industries were
relatively small.
Capacity utilization in the other (non-NAICS) manufacturing category was revised downward in 2006
and 2007 but upward substantially in 2008 and 2009.
The operating rates for the selected high-technology industries were above their long-run averages in the
fourth quarters of 2006 and 2007 before dropping below the average in 2008 and 2009. Relative to earlier
estimates, capacity utilization is now reported to have been substantially higher in 2008 and 2009 but little
changed, on net, in previous years. The operating rates for computers and peripheral equipment and those for
communications equipment are now shown to have been lower than previously reported in 2006 and 2007 but
higher in more recent years. Although capacity utilization was revised up over the entire 2006–09 period for
semiconductors and related electronic components, operating rates have been at or below the long-run average
since 2007.
Capacity utilization in mining was above its long-run average from 2006 through 2008. In the fourth
quarter of 2009, it fell to 81.7 percent, a rate 5 3/4 percentage points below its long-run average. Relative to earlier
estimates, the utilization rate for mining was lower over the entire 2006–09 period. At electric and gas utilities,
capacity utilization rates had small revisions from 2006 through 2008. The rate was revised down in 2009 to
78.8 percent, a rate that was nearly 6 percentage points below its long-run average.
TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THE REVISION
This revision incorporated comprehensive data for both 2007 and 2008 for manufacturing production.

utilization rates are reported for the fourth quarter of the year referenced.

The results of the Economic Census for 2007 and the ASM for 2008 became available since the last annual
revision was published in March 2009. Revised price indexes from the BEA and updated price indexes
constructed by the Federal Reserve for a few selected industries were also incorporated. 6 In addition, the
benchmark indexes for logging and publishing (included in the IP index for manufacturing but no longer
included in manufacturing under NAICS) were advanced through 2008 based on data from the U.S. Forest
Service and the Census Bureau.
The revised IP indexes incorporated information from selected Current Industrial Reports (CIRs) for
2009, the Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity for 2009, and other annual industry reports. The indexes also
incorporated revised monthly and quarterly source data on production, shipments, inventories, and
production-worker hours.
Annual Benchmark Output Indexes
The annual benchmark indexes—defined for each six-digit NAICS industry as nominal gross output
divided by a price index—were updated to include new as well as revised information from the 2007 Economic
Census and the 2008 ASM. Data from these reports were classified based on the 2007 NAICS, whereas data
from these reports for 2002 through 2006 were classified based on the 2002 NAICS. The 2007 NAICS included
about a dozen six-digit manufacturing industries that had different coverage than they did in the 2002 NAICS.
One industry included in the 2002 NAICS, Laboratory Apparatus and Furniture Manufacturing (NAICS
339111), was eliminated; its various components were distributed among seven different six-digit industries in
the 2007 NAICS.
Industrial production and capacity utilization are structured to follow a single industry classification
system, currently 2002 NAICS, from 1972 forward. For the purposes of maintaining a consistent benchmark
time series, the data from the 2007 Economic Census and the 2008 ASM were transformed to the 2002 NAICS
system using data from tables on product shipments by industry from the 2002 Economic Census. The Census
Bureau plans to issue bridge tables providing a more precise allocation of the data from the 2007 Economic
Census into the 2002 NAICS next year.
Since 2003, the ASM has not included separate data for every six-digit manufacturing industry; data for
some industries were only included as part of a larger group of industries. Previously, the benchmark indexes for
industrial production were calculated by allocating the data for these combined industries to their six-digit
components based on shares from the 2002 Economic Census. With this revision, the allocations for 2003
through 2006 reflect shares from both the 2002 and 2007 Economic Censuses. Data from the 2008 ASM were
allocated to the component six-digit industries based on shares from the 2007 Economic Census.
The deflators for the IP benchmarks primarily reflect industry shipments deflators issued by the Bureau of
Economic Analysis in May 2010. The BEA deflators differed occasionally from their previously published
values because of the incorporation of information from the 2002 Input-Output tables on the composition of each
industry’s primary and secondary products.
Changes to Individual Production and Capacity Series
With this revision, the monthly production indicators for some series have changed.
6 Price indexes for pharmaceuticals (NAICS 325412), for semiconductors (NAICS 334413), and for most components of communications equipment (NAICS 3342)
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.

6

Communications equipment
The IP aggregate index for communications equipment (NAICS 3342) comprises six product-based
indexes. With this revision, each of those six indexes incorporates quarterly data on nominal shipments at the
detailed product level from the Census Bureau’s relevant CIR from 2007 forward. The quarterly CIR for
communications equipment began in 2006 and now has enough history available to incorporate these data on a
seasonally adjusted basis. The nominal shipments data for each of the six indexes are combined with price
indexes constructed or taken from other sources.
Previously, four of the six communications equipment output indexes used data on nominal domestic
absorption combined with price deflators constructed from detailed product information, and the other two
indexes were based on production-worker-hour data. The nominal CIR shipments data more closely reflect
domestic output and are expected to provide a more accurate measure of U.S. production than the data on
domestic absorption.
The IP indexes for enterprise and home voice equipment; data networking equipment; transmission, local
loop, and legacy central office equipment; and wireless system equipment were previously based on nominal
domestic absorption data deflated with matched-model price deflators. The new CIR-based indicators for these
products continue to incorporate matched-model deflators, though for the first two indexes, the price data are
now provided by the Dell’Oro Group and cover more detailed product types than the price information used
previously.
The other two communications equipment indexes, satellites and earth station equipment and other radio
and TV broadcasting equipment, had been previously based on production-worker hours. The revised index for
satellites and earth station equipment deflates the CIR shipments data with an annual price index initially
constructed for the 2006 annual revision. The index uses annual data from Futron Corporation and the Satellite
Encyclopedia that is interpolated and extended based on a producer price index. The CIR shipments data for
other radio and TV broadcasting equipment is deflated by a Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) producer price
index.
Computers
The production indexes for computer storage device and computer terminal manufacturing (NAICS
334112 and NAICS 334113) and for other computer peripheral equipment manufacturing (NAICS 334119) are
now based on nominal shipments data from the Census Bureau’s quarterly CIR deflated by the relevant BLS
producer price indexes for 2007 to the present. As with the CIR for communications equipment, the CIR for
computers was introduced in 2006, and there is now enough history for the data to be seasonally adjusted.
Previously, the IP indexes for these series were based on data from Gartner on output of these products during
the 1990s that were extended by statistical models that predicted changes in output based on changes in the
production of personal computers and of servers.
Semiconductors
Within semiconductors, the output index for other MOS memories (NAICS 334413, part) is constructed
from nominal domestic absorption data deflated by a matched-model price deflator constructed from detailed
product information from the Semiconductor Industry Association. Previously, the price deflator for this index
was constructed from product data from iSuppli that were discontinued.

7

Glass containers
The index for glass containers (NAICS 327213) is based on monthly data on unit production from the
Glass Packaging Institute (GPI). Formerly, this index was based on monthly data from the Census Bureau’s CIR,
which was discontinued after December 2008. The GPI data begin in January 2008, and the year of overlap was
used to adjust the GPI data to the CIR level going forward.
Series switched from using product data to production-worker hours
Product data used as indicators for a few IP indexes were discontinued in the past few years and have
been replaced by production-worker hours for 2007 to the present. The industries affected are industrial gas
manufacturing (NAICS 32512), electric housewares and household fan manufacturing (NAICS 335211), and
household vacuum cleaner manufacturing (NAICS 335212).
In addition, production worker hours have replaced physical product data as the indicator for the IP index
for audio and video equipment manufacturing (NAICS 3343) because of the changes to the concentration of
domestic production of products within the industry. The previous physical product data source for this index
predominantly covered sales of products such as digital televisions. Newly available information from the
Census of Manufactures indicated that these products now represent a smaller fraction of domestic production
(about 20 percent in 2007 and 2008 compared with about 40 percent between 2002 and 2006). Consequently, the
production-worker hours are able to provide a more accurate indicator of output.
New Capacity Series
Plywood and miscellaneous wood products
The capacity index for plywood and miscellaneous wood products (NAICS 3212 and 3219) was split into
two series—veneer, plywood, and engineered wood product (NAICS 3212) and other wood products (NAICS
3219)—from 1987 onward. The capacity indicator for veneer, plywood, and engineered wood products is data
on particleboard capacity and fiberboard capacity, both from the Composite Panel Association. The capacity
indicator for other wood products is based on utilization rates from the Census Bureau’s Survey of Plant
Capacity.
Basic inorganic chemicals
The capacity index for basic inorganic chemicals (NAICS 32512–8) was split into two series—alkalies
and chlorine (NAICS 325181) and basic inorganic chemicals excluding alkalies and chlorine (NAICS 32512–7,
325182, and 325188). The capacity indicator for alkalies and chlorine is data on chlorine capacity from the
Chlorine Institute. The capacity indicator for basic inorganic chemicals excluding alkalies and chlorine is based
on utilization rates from the Census Bureau’s Survey of Plant Capacity.
Weights for Aggregation
The IP index is a Fisher index. The weights for manufacturing industries are derived from value-added
measures from the Census of Manufactures and the ASM. 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, expressed as value added per unit, were estimated with the latest data on producer
prices for the period after 2008. Table 10 shows the annual value-added proportions in the IP index from 2002
through 2009.

Revised Quarterly and Monthly Data
This revision incorporates 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 a lag to be included with
monthly IP estimates but were available for inclusion in the annual revision.
Revised Seasonal Factors
Seasonal factors for all series were reestimated using data that extend into 2010. Factors for
production-worker hours—which adjust for timing, holiday, and monthly seasonal patterns—were updated with
data through January 2010. The updated factors for the physical product series, which include adjustments for
holiday and workday patterns, used data through March 2010 where available. Seasonal factors for unit motor
vehicle assemblies have been updated, and projections through December 2010 are on the Board’s website at
www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/mvsf.htm.
For many of the series based on production-worker-hour data, and some based on product data
(particularly steel products), the recent recession seemed to have a systematic effect on the seasonal factors
estimated using standard procedures (X-12 with a time-series-based pre-adjustment). The seasonal factors for
these series had revised down around the apparent trough of the recession in June 2009 and increased toward the
beginning and end of the year. This pattern would generally raise the change in IP in the first halves of 2008
through 2010 and lower the change in the second halves of those years. Because the pattern was probably
artificially induced by the recession and a more normal pattern will likely return in 2010, those series were
pre-adjusted for much of 2009 to eliminate the recession pattern before applying X-12 to them. These
pre-adjustments will be reconsidered when the seasonal factors are reestimated after 2010 data are fully available.

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. The revised data will also be available through the STAT-USA website of the Department of Commerce (www.stat-usa.gov). Further information on these revisions is available from
the Board’s Industrial Output Section (telephone 202-452-3197).
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.
An expanded version of this release will be published in a forthcoming report that will be
available on the Board’s website.

r Revised. p Preliminary.
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.

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

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 4 percent. If output in this industry increased
10 percent in a month, then this gain would boost growth in total IP
by 4/10 percentage point (0.04 x 10% = 0.4%). 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.txt).

I NDUSTRIAL P RODUCTION
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 2007. 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 312
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.htm).

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 70 percent of the
source data (in value-added terms) are available; the fraction of
available source data increases to 84 percent for estimates in the
second month that the estimate is published, 93 percent in the third
month, 97 percent in the fourth month, 98 percent in the fifth month,
and 98 percent in the sixth month. Data availability by data type,
based on the six-month reporting window used in 2009, is
summarized in the table below:
Availability of Monthly IP Data in Publication Window
(Percent of value added in 2009)
Month of estimate

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 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 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 United States
Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior; and publications
of the Department of Energy.

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 53 percent). Of the 25 percent,
about three-fourths (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 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.
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 January
2010; for other series, the factors were estimated with data through at
least January 2010. 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.

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

Reliability. The average revision to the level of the total IP index,
without regard to sign, between the first and the fourth estimates was
0.26 percent during the 1987–2009 period. The average revision to

that 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.

the fourth estimates was 0.21 percentage point during the 1987–2009
period. In most cases (about 85 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.
C APACITY U TILIZATION

Perspective. Over the 1972–2009 period, the average total industry
utilization rate was 80.6 percent; for manufacturing, the average
factory operating rate was 79.2 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 11 are specific to each series and do not all occur in the
same month.

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.

Stock Estimates for Manufacturing Industries: Methods and Data” by

www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/CapitalStockDocLatest.pdf.

Coverage. Capacity indexes are constructed for 89 detailed industries
(71 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 (e.g., 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 web site
(www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/CapNotes.htm).

Industrial Production—1986 Edition contains a more detailed
description of the other methods used to compile the industrial
production index, plus a history of its development, a glossary of
terms, and a bibliography. The major revisions to the IP indexes and
capacity utilization since 1990 have been described in the Federal
Reserve Bulletin (April 1990, June 1990, June 1993, March 1994,
January 1995, January 1996, February 1997, February 1998, January
1999, March 2000, March 2001, March 2002, April 2003, Winter

Release Schedule
At 9:15 a.m. on

July 15, August 17, September 15, October 18, November 16, and
December 15.

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
