• Abstract:
  The Working Group on Industry Coding was initiated by the Administrative Records Subcommittee of the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology to review the various existing industry coding systems and study their relationships, comparability and accuracy. The report presents information on the principles and procedures used to classify and code business establishments by industry within the framework of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. This report is intended primarily for Federal agencies that are responsible for industry coding. The findings and recommendations of this, report emphasize the need for increased interagency cooperation to improve the quality and, comparability of industry codes and reduce the cost and respondent burden of multi-agency coding efforts. A permanent interagency committee is recommended as the mechanism for coordination.
