Positions 1-2 identify the foreign country, U.S. possession, or U.S. administered area (if positions 1-2 are alphabetic) or the U.S. state (if
positions 1-2 are numeric). A record with a code where positions 1-2 are alphabetic and positions 3-9 are zeros shows the name of the foreign country, U.S. possession, or U.S. administered area. A record with a code where positions 1-2 are numeric and positions 3-9 are zeros shows the name of the U.S. state. Note that the codes for U.S. state names are included for code translation purposes only, and are not valid for reporting to the Central Personnel Data File (CPDF).
Positions 3-6 identify the city.
For a U.S. state, positions 7-9 identify the U.S. county. A record with a code where positions 3-6 are zeros and positions 7-9 are not zeros shows the name of the U.S. county. Note that for a foreign country, U.S. possession, or U.S. administered area, positions 7-9 are zeros.
