Notices and Updates
- January 16, 2009: The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue an
annual revision to the index
of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and
capacity utilization on March 27, 2009.
- November 17, 2008:
Seasonal factors for auto and truck production
were revised in November 2008 and extended through September
2009. These factors were based on production data through September 2008 and were revised back to
May 2008. Seasonal factors will next revise at the time of the annual revision to
the index of industrial production, currently planned for the end of March 2009.
A comma-delimited text file containing these seasonal
factors is available for download.
- September 15, 2008: Capacity utilization rates for October 2007 through
February 2008 have been updated with this release. In April 2008, a six-month
reporting window was instituted for the industrial production indexes
in the G.17 Statistical Release; however, the capacity utilization rates
inadvertently continued to be calculated for only a four-month window.
Table 7A shows the revised rates for the affected months.
The data download program
and the historical data files
on the Federal Reserve Board's website have been updated with revised data.
- September 15, 2008: The Federal Reserve Board plans to issue an
annual revision to the index
of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and
capacity utilization around the end of March 2009.
- September 15, 2008: The publication dates for 2009 are now available.
- August 11, 2008: A Federal Reserve Bulletin article,
Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization: The 2008 Annual Revision (858 KB PDF) is now available online. The article reviews the
2008 annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. It discusses both the changes in estimation methods introduced in the revision and the revised estimates of IP, capacity, and capacity utilization.
- June 17, 2008: Seasonal factors for auto and truck production were revised in June 2008 and extended through December 2008. These factors were
based on production data through April 2008 and were revised back to
December 2007. Seasonal factors will next revise in mid-October 2008,
after production data for the third quarter are available.
A containing these seasonal factors is available for download.
- April 16, 2008: Monthly releases now include new or revised indexes for a
six-month reporting window, which encompasses one month of new data and revisions
to the previous five months of data. The new longer reporting window allows the
incorporation of additional lagging data before an annual revision.
Had a six-month window been
used over the past year, an additional 3 percent to 4 percent of IP would have
reflected source data. For a few indexes, the longer reporting window will cause
the latest month of data shown to be as many as five months earlier than the latest
value for aggregate IP; data for detailed production indexes are not shown
in the supplement to the G.17 release until either the underlying data are available
or the reporting window is closed.
- April 1, 2008: Beginning with the release of March data in the Federal Reserve's monthly G.17 Statistical Release,
monthly releases will be based on a six-month reporting window: One month of new data will be reported, and
the previous five months of data will be revised. For example, the monthly release to be issued on April
16, 2008 will include new data for March and revised data for October 2007 through February 2008. Previously, the monthly
releases were issued with a four-month reporting window, which covered one month of new data and revisions
to the previous three months of data.
- March 28, 2008: The Federal Reserve Board issued its annual revision to the index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of capacity and capacity utilization. The data files and Data Download Application will have updated industrial production, capacity, and capacity utilization data at about 2:00 p.m. The vehicle assembly data was updated for the new seasonal factors at about 3:30 p.m.
Previous notices and updates can be found here.
