BILLING CODE 4000-01-P 71 94 Tuesday, March 16, 2006 Notices Part V Office of Management and Budget North American Industry Classification System—Revision for 2007; Notice OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET North American Industry Classification System—Revision for 2007 AGENCY: Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget. ACTION: Notice of final decisions. SUMMARY: Under 44 U.S.C. 3504(e), the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)is announcing its final decisions for adoption of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) revisions for 2007 as recommended by the Economic Classification Policy Committee
(ECPC)in OMB's notice for solicitation of comments published in Part IV of the March 11, 2005, **Federal Register** (70 FR 12390-12399). In addition, responding to comments received on the ECPC recommendations, OMB is adopting a classification change for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) that was not part of the ECPC's recommendations. After additional consultation with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, the agencies participating in the ECPC, and other interested agencies, NAICS 525390, Real Estate Investment Trusts, will be deleted from the classification and portions will be reclassified as follows:
(1)Equity REITs will be classified in the Real Estate Subsector in NAICS Industry Group 5311, Lessors of Real Estate, under individual national industries based on the content of the portfolio of real estate operated by a particular REIT; and
(2)Mortgage REITs will remain classified in the Finance Sector but will be moved from NAICS 525930 to NAICS 525990, Other Financial Vehicles. More details of this decision are presented in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. In addition to this change, the title of NAICS industry 561422, “Telemarketing Bureaus”, is changed to “Telemarketing Bureaus and Other Contact Centers” to more accurately reflect the content of the industry. There is no content change; the title is simply revised to reflect the actual activities undertaken and the various technologies used. In the March 11, 2005, notice, OMB's Economic Classification Policy Committee recommended a revision of the industry classification system to modify the structure and detail for telecommunications industries based on changes that have occurred and are anticipated to occur in the future. The ECPC also recommended the creation of a new national industry for biotechnology research and development to reflect the growing importance of this activity in the economy. Additional changes were recommended to more adequately align the activities of producers in agriculture; manufacturing; and professional, technical, and scientific services. DATES: *Effective Date:* Federal statistical establishment data published for reference years beginning on or after January 1, 2007, should be published using the 2007 NAICS United States Codes. Publication of a 2007 NAICS United States Manual or supplement is planned for January 2007. ADDRESSES: You should send correspondence about the adoption and implementation of the 2007 NAICS as shown in the March 11, 2005, **Federal Register** notice, and modified by Attachments 1 and 2 of this notice, to: Katherine K.

(1)summarized the background for the proposed revisions to NAICS 2007 in Part I;
(2)contained a summary of public comments in Part II;
(3)detailed the structure changes agreed upon by the three countries in Part III; and
(4)provided a comprehensive listing of changes for national industries and their links to NAICS 2002 industries in Part IV. In response to the ECPC recommendations in the March 11, 2005, **Federal Register,** the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) submitted comments to OMB requesting reconsideration of the ECPC recommendation regarding the classification of REITs. In response, the ECPC met on several occasions with other interested agencies, including representatives from the Department of the Treasury's Office of Tax Analysis, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Statistics of Income Division at the Internal Revenue Service to discuss the possible change in classification for REITs. OMB and the Bureau of Economic Analysis also met with representatives from NAREIT to discuss their request. Taking all of the information into account, OMB decided to change the classification of REITs. OMB's final decisions regarding revision of NAICS for 2007 are to adopt the proposal contained in the March 11, 2005, **Federal Register** , with the one change to the classification of REITs. Attachments 1 and 2 show the corrected lines for Tables 1 and 2 in the March 11, 2005, **Federal Register** notice based on this change. In addition to this change, the title of NAICS industry 561422, “Telemarketing Bureaus,” is changed to “Telemarketing Bureaus and Other Contact Centers” to more accurately reflect the content of the industry. There is no content change; the title is simply revised to reflect the actual activities undertaken and the various technologies used. After taking into consideration other comments submitted in direct response to the March 11, 2005, **Federal Register** notice, as well as benefits and costs, and after consultation with the Economic Classification Policy Committee, Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Estadi stica, Geografi a e Informa tica (INEGI) and Statistics Canada, OMB made no other changes to the scope and substance of the ECPC's recommendations outlined in the March 11, 2005, **Federal Register** notice. The other comments that were received supported proposed changes, suggested changes that would be incompatible with the production-based foundation of NAICS, or suggested changes that would be incompatible with proposals that were accepted. NAICS was jointly developed by Canada, Mexico, and the United States. For the 2007 revision the three countries focused on updating telecommunications, while recognizing significant new activities such as biotechnology research and development, and minor content changes to more adequately reflect the production function orientation of NAICS.

(202)691-5054. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History of the 2000 SOC Revision The 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC), which replaced the 1980 SOC, was developed in response to a growing need for a universal occupational classification system. Such a classification system allows government agencies and private industry to produce comparable data. Users of occupational data include government program managers, industrial and labor relations practitioners, job seekers, employers wishing to set salary scales or locate an establishment, and educational institutions—including teachers, guidance counselors, and students exploring careers and identifying career education and training alternatives. The SOC is designed to reflect the current occupational structure of the United States; it classifies all occupations in which work is performed for pay or profit. The 2000 SOC covers all jobs in the national economy, including occupations in the public, private, and military sectors. The 2000 SOC is the result of a cooperative effort by all Federal agencies that use occupational classification systems to maximize the usefulness of occupational information collected by the Federal Government and is the result of four years of research by the SOC Revision Policy Committee (SOCRPC) and work groups composed of members from more than fifteen government agencies. In 1994, the Office of Management and Budget formed the SOCRPC with members from: the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics and Employment and Training Administration, the Department of Commerce's Census Bureau, the Department of Defense's Defense Manpower Data Center, the Department of Education, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Office of Management and Budget, as well as participants from the Departments of Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and Transportation, and the National Science Foundation and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The SOC Revision Policy Committee was charged with identifying the major statistical uses of occupational classifications and creating a classification system that reflected the current occupational structure in the United States. The SOCRPC used the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Employment Statistics
(OES)classification system as the starting point for the new SOC framework. To carry out the bulk of the revision effort, the committee created six work groups to examine occupations in the following areas: Administrative and Clerical Occupations; Natural Science, Law, Health, Education, and Arts Occupations; Services and Sales Occupations; Construction, Extraction, and Transportation Occupations; Mechanical and Production Occupations; and Military Occupations. The work groups were charged with ensuring that the occupations under their consideration conformed to the classification principles adopted by the SOCRPC. In carrying out their charge, the work groups and the SOCRPC carefully considered all proposals received in response to **Federal Register** notices issued by OMB and the committee. **Federal Register** notices requested comments on the uses of occupational data; the existing 1980 SOC classification principles, purpose and scope, and conceptual options; the SOCRPC's proposed revision process; the composition of detailed occupations; the hierarchical structure and numbering system; and the update procedures. Review of the 2000 SOC and Request for Comments The Office of Management and Budget has requested the Standard Occupational Classification Policy Committee to review the 2000 SOC for possible revision by 2010. The SOCPC solicits and welcomes comments related to any aspect of occupational classification, especially comments concerning: • The Revised Classification Principles for the 2010 SOC proposed by the SOCPC, • The SOCPC's intention to retain the 2000 SOC Major Group Structure, • Public proposals for corrections and changes to the existing detailed occupations, and • Public proposals for new detailed occupations to be added to the 2010 SOC. Each of these topics is discussed in turn below. The Revised Principles for the 2010 SOC Proposed by the SOCPC The SOCPC proposes the following revised principles, which are based in large part on those that governed the 2000 SOC: 1. The Classification covers all occupations in which work is performed for pay or profit, including work performed in family-operated enterprises by family members who are not directly compensated. It excludes occupations unique to volunteers. Each occupation is assigned to only one occupational category at the lowest level of the classification. 2. Occupations are classified based on work performed and on required skills, education, and training. 3. Supervisors of professional and related occupations (Major Groups 13-0000 through 29-0000) usually have a background similar to that of the workers they supervise, and therefore are classified with the workers they supervise. Likewise, supervisors of service occupations; sales and office occupations; natural resources occupations; construction and maintenance occupations; and production, transportation, and material moving occupations (Major Groups 31-0000 through 53-0000), who spend 20 percent or more of their time performing work similar to the workers they supervise, are classified with the workers they supervise. 4. First-line supervisors/managers of workers in Major Groups 31-0000 through 53-0000, who spend more than 80 percent of their time performing supervisory activities, are classified separately in the appropriate supervisor category because their work activities are distinct from those of the workers they supervise. 5. Workers primarily engaged in planning and directing will be classified in management occupations in Major Group 11-0000. 6. Apprentices and trainees should be classified with the occupations for which they are being trained, while helpers and aides should be classified separately. 7. If an occupation is not included as a distinct detailed occupation in the structure, it is classified in the appropriate residual occupation. Residual occupations contain all occupations within a major, minor or broad group that are not classified separately. 8. When workers may be classified in more than one occupation, they should be classified in the occupation that requires the highest level of skill. If there is no measurable difference in skill requirements, workers are included in the occupation in which they spend the most time. 9. For a detailed occupation to be included in the SOC, either the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the Census Bureau must be able to collect data on that occupation. 10. Data collection and reporting agencies should classify workers at the most detailed SOC level possible. Different agencies may use different levels of classification and aggregation, depending on their ability to collect data and on the requirements of users. Please note that in addition to inserting two new principles (numbered 5 and 9) and providing some clarifying language, the SOCPC has removed “credentials” from the list of classification criteria for Principle 2 due to the complexity, variability, and frequency of change in credential requirements. In particular:
(1)There are many different types of credentials that apply to occupations—State occupational licensing, Federal occupational licensing, private sector occupational certifications, as well as certifications of particular skill sets that may apply to multiple occupations, such as certification in facility with a certain type of software, equipment, or safety or regulatory procedures.
(2)Credentialing requirements vary not only from State to State, but may also vary by locality, by industry size class, or by firm.
(3)There is no current data collection mechanism to obtain comprehensive information on occupational credentialing and keep it updated; therefore, it is not feasible to adequately factor in credentialing requirements when classifying or defining an occupation.
(4)As technology and other requirements change, credentials change over time more rapidly than other variables and these changes could not be reflected in a classification that is to remain stable over a 5 to 10 year period—as attested to by the hundreds of Information Technology certifications that have come into existence during the last 5 to 10 years—the period during which the 2000 SOC was developed and put into use. The SOCPC invites comments on its proposed revised principles for the 2010 SOC. The SOCPC's Intention To Retain the 2000 SOC Major Group Structure The 2000 SOC classifies workers at four levels of aggregation:
(1)Major Group;
(2)Minor Group;
(3)Broad Occupation; and
(4)Detailed Occupation. All occupations are clustered into one of the following 23 Major Groups: 11-0000 Management Occupations 13-0000 Business and Financial Operations Occupations 15-0000 Computer and Mathematical Occupations 17-0000 Architecture and Engineering Occupations 19-0000 Life, Physical, and Social Science Occupations 21-0000 Community and Social Services Occupations 23-0000 Legal Occupations 25-0000 Education, Training, and Library Occupations 27-0000 Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports, and Media Occupations 29-0000 Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations 31-0000 Healthcare Support Occupations 33-0000 Protective Service Occupations 35-0000 Food Preparation and Serving Related Occupations 37-0000 Building and Grounds Cleaning and Maintenance Occupations 39-0000 Personal Care and Service Occupations 41-0000 Sales and Related Occupations 43-0000 Office and Administrative Support Occupations 45-0000 Farming, Fishing, and Forestry Occupations 47-0000 Construction and Extraction Occupations 49-0000 Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Occupations 51-0000 Production Occupations 53-0000 Transportation and Material Moving Occupations 55-0000 Military Specific Occupations In order to ensure consistency and the potential to satisfy a strong user mandate for time series continuity in occupational employment and wage data, the SOCPC proposes that no changes be made to the current Major Groups as denoted in the 2000 SOC Manual. The SOCPC invites comments on the proposed decision not to entertain changes to the current Major Groups. Public Proposals for Corrections and Changes to the Existing Detailed Occupations Generally, the definitions in the SOC contain the minimum description needed to let users know which workers would be classified in a particular occupation. The SOCPC invites comments on corrections concerning typographical or definitional errors and changes to the existing detailed occupations. Suggested changes to existing detailed occupations may address the occupational title, definition, or Illustrative Examples. The SOCPC will also accept comments on the possibility of combining some titles into one occupation group and separating new titles from existing groups. Public Proposals for New Detailed Occupations to be Added to the 2010 SOC Changes in the economy, technology, and the workplace may warrant additional detailed occupations in the SOC. Changes to the list of detailed occupations should be guided by principles established by the SOC Policy Committee, and, in the interest of maintaining the usefulness of the SOC system, should be easily cross-walked to the 2000 SOC. The SOCPC invites proposals for new detailed occupations to be added to the 2010 SOC. Proposals that include a detailed description of the occupation together with an estimate of employment and address the ability to collect data on this occupation are welcomed as well as comments indicating how suggested changes will better reflect the current occupational structure in the U.S. economy. *The SOCPC recognizes a difference between a job and an occupation.* Workers in an establishment perform a combination of tasks that is largely dependent on factors such as the establishment's industry, what tasks other workers in the establishment are performing, and the employment size of the establishment. This combination of tasks makes up an individual worker's job. The exact group of tasks is often, but not always, unique to that worker. Almost every job, however, is similar to a number of other jobs. Occupational classification schemes examine and organize the millions of jobs in the economy into occupations based upon their similarities as determined by the scheme's classification principles (see above: “The Revised Principles for the 2010 SOC Proposed by the SOCPC”). The schemes define the content of the individual occupations. Thus, an occupational definition is a collective description of a number of similar individual jobs performed, with minor variations, in different establishments. An example of a job is “Producer Price Index supervisory economist” while the occupation would be “Economist.” The job “NBA player” is specific to a relatively small group, while “Athletes and Sports Competitors” is an occupation. When reviewing and evaluating individual proposals, the SOCPC will consider the degree to which a proposed addition relates to an occupation rather than a job. The review and revision of the SOC for 2010 is intended to be completed by the end of 2008. Donald R.
