TABLE NOTES:

Description of columns:
- Groups and series: Series with asterisks are included in the published totals but are not published separately. The following abbreviations are used: ex. = excluding; eq. = equipment; misc. = miscellaneous; pt. = part.
- Classification, NAICS: North American Industry Classification System, 2002 edition, published by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.
- Classification, SOP: Stage of process classification: Crude processing (C), Primary & semifinished processing (P), Finished processing (F)
- Classification, Type: Basis for capacity estimates.
  - Phys: Capacity estimates are based on physical data.
  - SPC: Capacity estimates are based on the Census Bureau's Survey of Plant Capacity,which yields data for the fourth quarter of each year beginning in 1974, and the Federal Reserve Board's estimates of capital services by industry.
  - TTP: Capacity estimates are based on trends through peaks in output.
- Value-added proportion, 2006: This proportion is compiled from information contained in the Census of Manufactures, Annual Survey of Manufacturers, and Census of Mineral Industries and in reports from the Department of Energy, the Edison Electric Institute, and the American Gas Association. The figures may not add to totals because of rounding.
- Beginning date: Denotes beginning date for series. Underlying physical data for some series may start at different dates.
Series beginning prior to 1972 are based, in part, on the McGraw-Hill/DRI survey that was available from 1955-88. In those industries where the McGraw-Hill/DRI survey is used at an aggregate level and the Census' Survey of Plant Capacity is used for more detailed components, the level of estimated capacity based on the Census survey has been adjusted to achieve consistency with the McGraw-Hill/DRI survey.
Manufacturing (SIC) consists of those industries included in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) definition of manufacturing plus those industries--logging and newspaper, periodical, book, and directory publishing--that traditionally have been considered to be manufacturing and included in the industrial sector.
Durable manufacturing includes three-digit NAICS groups 321, 327, 331-337, and 339.
Nondurable manufacturing includes three-digit NAICS groups 311-316 and 322-326.
