• Upcoming Comprehensive Revision of the NIPA's. Beginning in late October 1999, BEA plans to release the results of an upcoming comprehensive, or benchmark, revision of the national income and product accounts (NIPA's). The annual revision of the NIPA's that would normally take place this summer will instead be combined with the upcoming comprehensive revision. For more information, see the box on page 7.
