OMB Seeks Proposals for Changes to NAICS Structure and Content for Potential 2012 Revision
The Office of Management and Budget's Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC) has announced it is soliciting proposals from the public for changes to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) structure and content to be included in a potential 2012 revision. The ECPC is also seeking public input on several clarifications to the existing classification system. The clarifications relate to ongoing changes in how businesses organize and structure themselves to efficiently provide goods and services in the economy. The ECPC does not intend to open the entire classification for substantial change in 2012. The ECPC will consider public comments and proposals for changes or modifications that advance the goals of NAICS.

The January 7 FEDERAL REGISTER provides this invitation for comments. Comments are due no later than April 7. The ECPC provides this "anatomy" for today's notice:
