Because of delays in the receipt of regular mail related to security screening, respondents are encouraged to use electronic communications. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is a system for classifying establishments (individual business locations) by type of economic activity. NAICS was jointly developed by Canada, Mexico, and the United States in 1997. NAICS helps ensure that establishment data produced across the Federal statistical system are comparable and can be used together in analysis. It is important to note that NAICS is designed and maintained solely for statistical purposes. Consequently, although the classification may also be used for various nonstatistical purposes (e.g., for administrative, regulatory, or taxation functions), the requirements of government agencies or private users that choose to use NAICS for nonstatistical purposes play no role in its development or revision. For the 2017 revision, Canada, Mexico, and the United States focused on new and emerging industries as well as updating the structure of the oil and gas industries in Subsector 211, Oil and Gas Extraction. The August 4, 2015, Federal Register notice: (1) Summarized the background for the proposed revisions to NAICS 2012 in Part I; (2) contained a summary of public comments to the first Federal Register notice (79 FR 29626-29629, May 22, 2014) for the 2017 NAICS revision process in Part II; (3) included a list of recommended title changes for NAICS industries that clarify, but do not change, the existing content of the industries in Part III; and (4) provided a comprehensive listing of recommended changes for national industries and their NAICS 2012 industries analogue(s) in Part IV. In response to the ECPC recommendations in the August 4, 2015, Federal Register, comments that were received supported proposed changes, or suggested changes that would be incompatible with proposals that were accepted. Final Decisions After taking into consideration comments submitted in direct response to the May 22, 2014, Federal Register notice, as well as benefits and costs, and after consultation with the Economic Classification Policy Committee, Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Estad[iacute]stica y Geograf[iacute]a (INEGI) and Statistics Canada, OMB, with one minor exception, made no changes to the scope and substance of the ECPC's recommendations outlined in the August 4, 2015, Federal Register notice. OMB's final decisions regarding revision of NAICS for 2017 are to adopt the recommendations contained in the August 4, 2015, Federal Register notice, with an additional title modification for NAICS 33522 from `Major Appliance Manufacturing' to `Major Household Appliance Manufacturing' in order to align with NAICS 335220, Major Household Appliance Manufacturing.
