                                                                     July 17, 2007

 INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY UTILIZATION

         Industrial production rose 0.5 percent in June after a decrease of 0.1 percent in May.  At 113.4
 percent of its 2002 average in June, total industrial production was 1.4 percent above its year-earlier
 level.  Manufacturing output moved up 0.6 percent in June; excluding motor vehicles and parts, factory
 output increased 0.4 percent after having been unchanged in May.  In June, the output indexes for mining
 and utilities registered gains of 0.5 percent and 0.3 percent respectively.  For the second quarter as a
 whole, total industrial production advanced at an annual rate of 2.9 percent after an increase of 1.1
 percent in the first quarter.  Capacity utilization for total industry moved up to 81.7 percent in June;
 the rate was 0.6 percentage point below its level in June 2006 but 0.7 percentage point above its 1972-2006
 average.

 Market Groups
 -------------

        The production of consumer goods rose 0.7 percent in June and increased at an annual rate of 1.7 percent
 for the second quarter as a whole.  In June, an increase of 1.6 percent in the production of durable
 consumer goods was due mainly to a jump in the production of consumer automotive products, which moved up
 2.8 percent after a decrease of 0.9 percent in May.  After little change in the first quarter, the
 production of automotive products surged at an annual rate of 20.7 percent in the second quarter.  The
 output of home electronics recovered 2.6 percent in June after a decline of the same amount in May.  The
 index for appliances, furniture, and carpeting fell 0.5 percent in June; production increased at an annual
 rate of 0.8 percent in the second quarter after declines in each of the preceding six quarters.  The index
 for miscellaneous durable goods moved up in June for a fourth consecutive month. The production of
 nondurable consumer goods rose 0.4 percent last month.  Among non-energy nondurable consumer goods, a sharp
 decline in clothing in June was more than offset by increases in foods and tobacco, chemical products, and
 paper products.  An increase in the output of automotive gasoline boosted consumer energy output.  In the
 second quarter, the output of non-energy nondurable consumer goods increased at an annual rate of 0.4
 percent, whereas the output of consumer energy products fell at an annual rate of 6.6 percent.

        The index for business equipment was unchanged in June for a second consecutive month, but it advanced at
 an annual rate of 3.6 percent in the second quarter.  Higher output of motor vehicles and civilian aircraft
 contributed to a June gain of 1.0 percent for transit equipment, and the output of information processing
 equipment moved up 0.4 percent.  The index for industrial and other equipment slipped 0.6 percent; farm
 machinery and construction machinery registered large declines.  The production of defense and space
 equipment rose 0.7 percent.

        The index for construction supplies increased 1.0 percent in June; it was up at an annual rate of 3.6
 percent in the second quarter, its first quarterly increase since the second quarter of 2006.  In June, the
 index for business supplies rose 0.2 percent; non-energy business supplies moved up 0.4 percent, but
 commercial energy supplies fell 0.4 percent.

        The production of materials advanced 0.6 percent in June.  Within non-energy materials, the output of
 durable materials rose 0.9 percent in June and moved up at an annual rate of 7.2 percent in the second
 quarter.  All major categories within durable materials posted gains in June.  Among nondurable materials,
 a decline in the output of textiles was more than offset by increases in the production of paper and of
 chemicals.  The output of energy materials edged up 0.1 percent.

 Industry Groups
 ---------------

        Manufacturing output rose 0.6 percent in June, and the factory operating rate advanced 0.4 percentage
 point, to 80.3 percent.  For the second quarter as a whole, output increased at an annual rate of 3.4
 percent.  In June, the production of durable goods rose 0.8 percent, an increase led by a gain of 2.5
 percent in the output of motor vehicles and parts.  In the second quarter, the output of motor vehicles and
 parts advanced at an annual rate of 13.3 percent after decreases in each of the previous three quarters.
 Among the other major categories within durable goods, increases were generally widespread in June.  The
 production of nondurable goods rose 0.3 percent in June; in the second quarter, it edged up at an annual
 rate of 0.3 percent.  Advances in June occurred in food, beverage, and tobacco products; paper; chemicals;
 and plastics and rubber products.  However, textile and product mills, apparel and leather, printing, and
 petroleum and coal products all declined. The output of the non-NAICS manufacturing industries (logging and
 publishing) rose 0.5 percent.

        The output of utilities edged up 0.3 percent in June; electricity generation inched down 0.1 percent, but
 the output of natural gas utilities increased 2.4 percent.  The operating rate at utilities rose to 85.6
 percent, a rate about 1 percentage point below its 1972-2006 average.  In June, the output of mines
 increased 0.5 percent, and the capacity utilization rate for mining rose 0.5 percentage point, to 90.7
 percent, a rate 3.3 percentage points above its long-run average.      

        In June, capacity utilization for industries in the crude stage moved up 0.4 percentage point, to 89.5
 percent.  For industries in the primary and semifinished stages, capacity utilization rose 0.4 percentage
 point, to 82.4 percent; for industries in the finished stage, capacity utilization increased 0.2 percentage
 point, to 78.3 percent.  The utilization rates for the three stages of processing were all above their
 long-run averages.

 r  Revised.  p  Preliminary.
 Note.  The statistics in this release cover output, capacity, and capacity utilization in the
 U.S. industrial sector, which is defined by the Federal Reserve to comprise manufacturing,
 mining, and electric and gas utilities. Mining is defined as all industries in sector 21 of the
 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS); electric and gas utilities are those in
 NAICS sectors 2211 and 2212. Manufacturing comprises NAICS manufacturing industries (sector 31-33)
 plus the logging industry and the newspaper, periodical, book, and directory publishing industries.
 Logging and publishing are classified elsewhere in NAICS (under agriculture and information
 respectively), but historically they were considered to be manufacturing and were included in
 the industrial sector under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system.  In December 2002
 the Federal Reserve reclassified all its industrial output data from the SIC system to NAICS.

 Explanatory Note

 
 The Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization statistical release,
 which is published around the middle of the month, reports measures of
 output, capacity, and capacity utilization in manufacturing, mining, and
 the electric and gas utilities industries.  More detailed descriptions of
 industrial production and capacity utilization are available at
 www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17 at the Board's World Wide Web
 site. In addition, files containing data shown in the release, more detailed
 series that were published in the G.17 prior to December 2000, and
 historical data are available at the Board's Web site.  Instructions for
 searching for and downloading specific series are provided as well.  For
 paid access to the data files through the Department of Commerce's
 Economic Bulletin Board or World Wide Web site, please call STAT-USA
 at 1-800-STAT-USA or 202-452-1986.  Diskettes containing historical
 data and the data published in this release also are available from the
 Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Publications Services,
 202-452-3245.
  
 Industrial Production
 
 Coverage. The industrial production (IP) index measures the real output
 of the manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities industries; the
 reference period for the index is 2002.  Manufacturing consists of those
 industries included in the North American Industry Classification System,
 or NAICS, definition of manufacturing plus those industries-logging and
 newspaper, periodical, book and directory publishing-that have
 traditionally been considered to be manufacturing and included in the
 industrial sector.  For the period since 1997, the total IP index has been
 constructed from 300 individual series based on the 2002 North American
 Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes. These individual series
 are classified in two ways: (1) market groups, and (2) industry groups.
 Market groups consist of products and materials.  Total products are the
 aggregate of final products, such as consumer goods and equipment, and
 nonindustrial supplies (which are inputs to nonindustrial sectors).
 Materials are inputs in the manufacture of  products.  Major industry
 groups include three-digit NAICS industries and aggregates of these
 industries-for example, durable and nondurable manufacturing, mining,
 and utilities.  A complete description of the market and industry structures,
 including details regarding series classification, relative importance
 weights, and data sources, is available on the Board's web site
 (www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/About.html).  Changes in
 output for the market and industry groups are summarized in table 1 and
 the levels of output (in index form) are shown in table 4.  Special
 aggregates, that highlight the relative importance and contributions of
 several key industries, such as high-technology and motor vehicles, are
 summarized in tables 2 and 5.  For a detailed description of the contents of
 the statistical tables, see below.
  
 Source data. On a monthly basis, the individual indexes of industrial
 production are constructed from two main types of source data: (1) output
 measured in physical units and (2) data on inputs to the production
 process, from which output is inferred.  Data on physical products, such as
 tons of steel or barrels of oil, are obtained from private trade associations
 and from government agencies; data of this type are used to estimate
 monthly IP wherever possible and appropriate.  Production indexes for a
 few industries are derived by dividing estimated nominal output
 (calculated using unit production or sales and unit values) by a
 corresponding Fisher price index; the most notable of these fall within the
 high-technology grouping and include computers, communications
 equipment, and semiconductors.  When suitable data on physical product
 are not available, estimates of output are based on production-worker
 hours by industry.  Data on hours worked by production workers are
 collected in the monthly establishment survey conducted by the Bureau of
 Labor Statistics.  The factors used to convert inputs into estimates of
 production are based on historical relationships between the inputs and the
 comprehensive annual data used to benchmark the IP indexes; these
 factors also may be influenced by technological or cyclical developments.
 The annual data used in benchmarking the individual IP indexes are
 constructed from a variety of source data, such as the quinquennial
 Censuses of Manufactures and Mineral Industries and the Annual Survey
 of Manufactures, prepared by the Bureau of the Census; the Minerals
 Yearbook, prepared by the United States Geological Survey of the
 Department of the Interior; and publications of the Department of Energy.
  
 Aggregation Methodology and Weights.  The aggregation method for
 the IP index is a version of the Fisher-ideal index formula.  (For a detailed
 discussion of the aggregation method, see Federal Reserve Bulletin
 February 1997 and March 2001.)  In the IP index, series that measure the
 output of an individual industry are combined using weights derived from
 their proportion in the total value-added output of all industries.  The IP
 index, which extends back to 1919, is built as a chain-type index since
 1972.  The current formula for the growth in monthly IP (or any of the
 sub-aggregates) since 1972 is the geometric mean of the change in output
 (I), and, as can be seen below, is computed using the unit value added
 estimate for the current month (p_m) and the estimate for previous month:

 The IP proportions (typically shown in the first column of the relevant
 tables in the G.17 release) are estimates of the industries' relative
 contributions to overall growth in the following year.  For example, the
 relative importance weight of the motor vehicles and parts industry is
 about 8 percent.  If output in this industry increased 10 percent in a month,
 then this gain would boost growth in total IP by 8/10 percentage point
 (0.08 x 10% = 0.8%).  To assist users with calculations, the Federal
 Reserve's web site provides supplemental monthly statistics that represent
 the exact proportionate contribution of a monthly change in a component
 index to the monthly change in the total index (www.federalreserve.gov/
 releases/G17/ipdisk/ipweights.sa).
 
 Timing. The first estimate of output for a month is published around the
 15th of the following month. The estimate is preliminary (denoted by the
 superscript "p" in tables) and subject to revision in each of the subsequent
 three months as new source data become available. (Revised estimates are
 denoted by the superscript "r" in tables.)  For the first estimate of output
 for a given month, about 70 percent of the source data (in value-added
 terms) are available; the fraction of available source data increases to about
 84 percent for estimates in the second month that the estimate is published,
 96 percent in the third month, and 97 percent in the fourth month.  Data
 availability by data type is summarized in the table below:

                                 Month of estimate

     IP data estimated           30   16    4    3
   The physical product group includes series based on either
   monthly or quarterly data.  As can be seen in the first line of the table, in
   the first month, a physical product indicator is available for about half of
   the series (in terms of value added) that ultimately are based on physical
   product data (25 percent out of total of 52 percent).  Of the 25 percent,
   about two-thirds (17 percent of total IP) include series that are derived
   from weekly physical product data and for which actual monthly data may
   lag up to several months.  On average, quarterly product data are received
   for the third estimate of industrial production.  Specifically, quarterly data
   are available for the second estimate of the last month of a quarter, the
   third estimate of the second month of a quarter, and the fourth estimate of
   the first month of a quarter.  About 3 percent of the source data for
   monthly IP-all physical product measures-are available too late for
   direct inclusion in the current index and are incorporated at the time of an
   annual historical revision.
 
 Seasonal adjustment. Individual series are seasonally adjusted using
 Census X-12 ARIMA. For series based on production-worker hours, the
 current seasonal factors were estimated with data through September 2006; 
 for other series, the factors were estimated with data through at least
 June 2006.  Series are pre-adjusted for the effects of holidays or the
 business cycle when appropriate.  For the data since 1972, all seasonally
 adjusted aggregate indexes are calculated by aggregating the seasonally
 adjusted indexes of the individual series.
 
 Reliability.  The average revision to the level of the total IP index, without
 regard to sign, between the first and the fourth estimates was 0.27 percent
 during the 1987-2005 period.  The average revision to the percent change
 in total IP, without regard to sign, from the first to the fourth estimates was
 0.21 percentage point during the 1987-2005 period.  In most cases (about
 86 percent), the direction of change in output indicated by the first
 estimate for a given month is the same as that shown by the fourth
 estimate.
 
 Rounding.  The published percent changes are calculated from unrounded
 indexes, and may not be the same as percent changes calculated from the
 rounded indexes shown in the release.
 
 Capacity Utilization
 
 Overview.  The Federal Reserve Board constructs estimates of capacity
 and capacity utilization for industries in manufacturing, mining, and
 electric and gas utilities.  For a given industry, the capacity utilization rate
 is equal to an output index (seasonally adjusted) divided by a capacity
 index.  The Federal Reserve Board's capacity indexes attempt to capture
 the concept of sustainable maximum output-the greatest level of output a
 plant can maintain within the framework of a realistic work schedule, after
 factoring in normal downtime and assuming sufficient availability of
 inputs to operate the capital in place.
 
 Coverage.  Capacity indexes are constructed for 87 detailed industries
 (69 in manufacturing, 16 in mining, and 2 in utilities), which mostly
 correspond to industries at the three- and four-digit NAICS level.
 Estimates of capacity and utilization are available for a variety of groups,
 including durable and nondurable manufacturing, total manufacturing,
 mining, utilities, and total industry.  Manufacturing consists of those
 industries included in the North American Industry Classification System,
 or NAICS, definition of manufacturing plus those industries-logging and
 newspaper, periodical, book and directory publishing-that have
 traditionally been considered to be manufacturing and included in the
 industrial sector.  Also, special aggregates are available, such as high-tech
 industries and manufacturing excluding high-tech industries.
 
 Source Data.  The monthly rates of capacity utilization are designed to be
 consistent with both the monthly data on production and the periodically
 available data on capacity and utilization.  Because there is no direct
 monthly information on overall industrial capacity or utilization rates, the
 Federal Reserve first estimates annual capacity indexes from the source
 data.  Capacity data reported in physical units from government sources
 (primarily from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of
 Energy's Energy Information Administration) and trade sources are
 available for portions of several industries in manufacturing (e.g., paper,
 industrial chemicals, petroleum refining, motor vehicles), as well as for
 electric utilities and mining; these industries represent about 24 percent of
 total industrial capacity.  When physical product data are unavailable for
 manufacturing industries, capacity indexes are based on responses to the
 Bureau of the Census's Survey of Plant Capacity (SPC); these industries
 account for a bit less than 72 percent of total industry capacity.  In the
 absence of utilization data for a few mining and petroleum series, capacity
 is based on trends through peaks in production (roughly 4 percent of total
 industry capacity).  A detailed description of the methodology used to
 construct the capacity indexes is available on the Board's web site
 (www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/cap_notes.html).
 
 Aggregation Methodology.  Monthly capacity aggregates are calculated
 in three steps: (1) utilization aggregates are calculated on an annual basis
 through the most recent full year as capacity-weighted aggregates of
 individual utilization rates; (2) the annual aggregate capacity is derived
 from the corresponding production and utilization aggregates; (3) the
 monthly capacity aggregate is obtained by interpolating with a Fisher
 index of its constituent monthly capacity series.  Utilization rates for the
 individual series and aggregates are calculated by dividing the pertinent
 monthly production index by the related capacity index.
 
 Consistency.  A major aim is that the Federal Reserve utilization rates be
 consistent over time so that, for example, a rate of 85 percent means about
 the same degree of tightness that it meant in the past.  A major task for the
 Federal Reserve in developing reasonable and consistent time series of
 capacity and utilization is dealing with inconsistencies between the
 movements of the industrial production index and the survey-based
 utilization rates.  The McGraw-Hill/DRI Survey, now discontinued, was
 the primary source of manufacturing utilization rates for many years.  This
 was a survey of large companies that reported, on average, higher
 utilization rates than those reported by establishments covered by the SPC
 (currently the primary source of factory operating rates) for the fourteen
 years they overlapped.  Adjustments have been made to keep the industry
 utilization rates currently reported by the Federal Reserve roughly in line
 with rates formerly reported by McGraw-Hill.  As a consequence, the rates
 reported by the Federal Reserve tend to be higher than the rates reported in
 the SPC.
 
 Perspective.  Over the 1972-2005 period, the average total industry
 utilization rate is 81.0 percent; for manufacturing, the average factory
 operating rate has been 79.8 percent.  Industrial plants usually operate at
 capacity utilization rates that are well below 100 percent: none of the
 broad aggregates has ever reached 100 percent.  For total industry and
 total manufacturing, utilization rates have exceeded 90 percent only in
 wartime.  The highs and lows in capacity utilization shown in table 7 are
 specific to each series and do not all occur in the same month.
