Part II--Proposed New Industry Structure for Textile Mills, Textile Product Mills, Apparel
Manufacturing, Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing.

Section A--NAICS Structure

North American Industry Classification System

(NAICS)

Agreement Number 5

  This Document represents the proposed agreement on the structure of the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the following industries:

Textile Mills
Textile Product Mills
Apparel Manufacturing
Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing

  The detailed NAICS structure along with a brief description of the structure is attached
(Attachments 1 and 2).  Each country agrees to release a copy of the proposed NAICS structure
to interested data users .  For the apparel industries only, each country may develop a different
national structure.  These structures must, however, permit each country to aggregate to the
NAICS structure in Attachment 1.  Each country's detailed apparel structure is shown in
Attachment 3.  Comments received will be shared among the countries and discussions held
before a final decision on the structure is made.   This NAICS structure was presented and
provisionally accepted at the NAICS Committee meeting held June 22 and 23, 1995 in Ottawa,
Canada.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System

Draft Classification for:
  Textile Mills
  Textile Product Mills
  Apparel Manufacturing
  Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing

  Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States agree to a
draft industry classification for these industries.
  The draft classification provides for four subsectors; Textile Mills; Textile Product Mills;
Apparel Manufacturing; and Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing.  These groups are
further sub-divided into eleven industry groups and twenty industries.  The subsectors will be
part of the Manufacturing sector of the NAICS classification.  

A General Outline

  Textile Mills comprise a group of industries that transform a basic fiber (natural or synthetic)
into a product that is further manufactured into usable items such as apparel, sheets and towels,
and textile bags for individual or industrial consumption.  The main processes in this subsector
include preparation and spinning of fiber, knitting or weaving of fabric, and finally the finishing
of the textile.  The NAICS structure follows and captures this process flow.  Major industries in
this flow such as preparation of fibers, weaving of fabric, knitting of fabric, and fiber and fabric
finishing are uniquely identified.  Texturizing, throwing, twisting, and winding of yarn contains
aspects of both fiber preparation and fiber finishing.  In the end, the decision was to class these
with preparation of fibers rather than with finishing of fiber.
  The subsector Textile Product Mills includes the production of textile products, except
apparel.  With a few exceptions, processes used in these industries are generally "cut and sew,"
i.e., purchasing fabric and cutting and sewing to make a non-apparel textile product such as
sheets and towels.  By creating a separate subsector, the classification more accurately reflects
both the production aspect and the strong desire for a separate identification for these activities
by many data users.  
  The Apparel Manufacturing subsector consists of establishments with two distinct
manufacturing processes:  (1) "cut and sew" as described above and (2) the manufacture of
garments in establishments that first knit fabric and then cut and sew the fabric into a garment. 
Knitting, when done alone, is classified in the Textile Mills subsector, but when knitting is
combined with the production of complete garments, the production processes are similar to
those in Apparel Manufacturing. The three countries agreed to establish separate subsectors for
Textile Product Mills and Apparel Manufacturing.  These groupings allow for the unique
identification at a high classification level for Apparel Manufacturing, an extremely important
international trade grouping.
  The subsector Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing consists of  transforming hides into
leather by tanning or curing, and fabricating the leather into products for final consumption.  It
also includes the manufacture of certain other, similar products from other materials, including
products other than apparel made from "leather substitutes", such as rubber, plastic, or textiles.  
Rubber footwear, textile luggage, and plastic purses or wallets are examples of "leather
substitute" products included in this group. The products made from leather substitutes are
produced in similar ways as are the leather products (luggage, for example) and they are made in
the same establishments so it is not practical to separate them. The inclusion of leather
production in this subsector is partly because leather tanning is a relatively small industry that
has few close neighbors as a production process, partly because leather is an input to some of the
other products classified in this subsector, and partly for historical reasons.

Limitations and Constraints of the Classification

  There are some analytical needs that cannot be met by this industry classification.  For
example, there is a need in the U.S. and Canada for data for separate statistics for men's and
women's apparel, even though overlap of production exists for many specific clothing items. 
This cannot be accommodated by NAICS because of differences in the way apparel production
is organized in Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.  Specifically, in Mexico, producers of children's
wear are not specialized according to gender as they are in the U.S. and Canada.  It is therefore,
not possible for Mexico to create separate industries for men's and boys' versus women's and
girls'.  Canada and the U.S., on the other hand, can recognize this distinction and in the national
detail of the two countries, these groupings are recognized.  Moreover, Mexico requires that
uniforms be grouped together in a single industry; in the U.S. and Canada, production of men's
uniforms is usually separate from production of women's uniforms.  Additionally, size
constraints prohibit separation of some activities in Canada. For example, Canada cannot support
a separate men's work clothing industry.  
  These differences in the way apparel production is organized in the three countries also
greatly limits the number of NAICS industries that can be defined in this subsector.  As a result,
NAICS industries have been defined at a rather highly aggregated level (e.g., outerwear) because
only at these levels of aggregation will it be possible to publish comparable data across all three
countries.  Therefore, the three countries agreed that each country will publish more detailed
national industries that meet their respective national needs for data on apparel.  For the apparel
industries only, each country may develop a different national structure.  These structures must,
however, permit each country to aggregate to the NAICS structure shown in Attachment 1. 
Attachment 3 shows each country's detailed national structure for apparel.
  For users requiring detailed commodity information, each country will publish information on
products of these industries.  Efforts also are underway to harmonize the commodity
classifications to allow comparability of these statistics.
   An issue related to the coding structure is the ability to publish, and the economic
significance of the items defined in the classification.  In the apparel industry, most activities that
were identified in one country exist in the others.  However, often an activity is not economically
significant to the same degree in all countries.  Further, data for some significant activities
cannot be published for a particular country because of confidentiality rules.  Finally, the way
activities are combined in establishments differs to some extent in the different countries.  A
structure could have been developed that specified such activities in NAICS, but the resulting
statistical tables for any given country would have numerous insignificant or suppressed entries.
For example, Canada cannot support a separate men's work clothing industry because of size.  It
was preferable to adopt an operating rule for this industry subsector that the NAICS industries
must be economically significant and publishable.  It is anticipated that each country will publish additional categories that comprise sub-divisions of NAICS industries to present data for
activities that are nationally significant.

Relationship to ISIC

  The new  NAICS structure for textiles, apparel, and leather does not match the current
International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC, Revision 3).  
The ISIC divisions covered by these NAICS subsectors are:  Division 17, Manufacture of
Textiles; Division 18, Manufacture of Wearing Apparel: Dressing and Dyeing of Fur; and
Division 19, Tanning and Dressing of Leather;  Manufacture of Luggage, Handbags, Saddlery,
Harness and Footwear.  Within ISIC, apparel made from fabric made in the same establishment 
is classified in one division and that made from fabric made by another establishment is
classified in a different division.  Within ISIC, both manufacturing of  primary textiles and
made-up textile products are classified in the same division while in NAICS these functions have
been separated into two subsectors.
  However, of the twenty one NAICS 4-digit industries in these subsectors, only four do not fall
within a single ISIC Division.  The four that do not, cross two ISIC divisions.  
  Moreover, the majority of the NAICS industries created fall within a single 4-digit ISIC
industry.

Some Changes to the National Classifications

  This section highlights some of the significant changes to existing national classifications.
  In Textile Mills, the NAICS structure following the production flow resulted in a major
restructuring for Canada.  Every new national industry in Canada will have some change.  For
the United States, the main industry change involves moving finishing of fiber, yarn, thread, and
wool fabric into separate classifications.  The United States converters of non knit (woven)
fabric also were moved to manufacturing.  In Mexico, the changes were minor.
  The subsector Textile Product Mills contains no major changes for any of the three countries. 
In NAICS, all three countries  moved curtains and draperies made from purchased materials to
this grouping.
  The major change for Mexico and the U. S. for all NAICS industries in Apparel
Manufacturing was the classification of cut and sew contracting into a separate NAICS industry
group.  The fact that cut and sew apparel contractors make women's dresses one week and
women's blouses the next or make men's shirts one week and men's pants the next results in
difficulties in classifying establishments.  In addition, these contractors are typically small, thus
causing additional difficulties in classifying these establishments.  Classifying all contractors
together eases the data collection process.  Creating a separate contracting industry for apparel
results in a change in virtually every U.S. (13) and Mexican (6) apparel manufacturing industry.
Canada already recognizes apparel contracting in its current structure.  It should be noted that
Mexico will continue to collect and publish a combined industry (including contractors) for the
cut and sew area, but will publish separate NAICS for this industry.  The U.S. Census Bureau
has published information in the past on cut and sew contractors.  This information will be used
as a bridge to link the 1997 Economic Census data based on NAICS to data that would have
been published on the 1987 SIC basis.  This link will provide data users essential information for
time series comparability.

Achievement of Objectives

  The classification meets the objectives for the NAICS.  It is comprised of industries that
group establishments with similar production processes, that is, it applies the production-oriented
economic concept.  In the main, the hierarchical structure of the classification also follows the
production concept.
  The classification achieves comparability for the three participating countries.  Based on
existing data, all three countries expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry level
of the structure.  All countries agree on the detailed definitions of the industries.
  Other objectives of the NAICS project are not as relevant in this area of the classification as
in others.  These objectives are the delineation of new and emerging industries, service
industries, and industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies.  The industry 
subsector in question is relatively mature, generally produces goods, and has employed relatively
stable technology.  Therefore, the emphasis was on the objectives listed above.
  The industries have high specialization ratios, and they are economically significant.  The
detail and structure of the classification are balanced in size.  This enhances the classification's
suitability for sampling, data-publishing and other aspects of survey operations.  For Textile
Mills and Textile Product Mills, disruptions to time series have been kept to a minimum. In
Apparel Manufacturing, however, the establishment of a separate industry for cut and sew
contractors results in a change for the U.S. to nearly all of the existing apparel industries. A link
between the old and new industries will be provided where possible.

Section B-Annex: United States National Industry Detail

     As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, for a number of reasons 4-digit
industries in the three NAICS industry subsectors presented in Part 1, Section A--Attachment 1,
contain less detail than is currently in the U.S. SIC system, and less detail than is required to
meet important analytical requirements in the U.S.  The three country agreement on NAICS
envisions that each country may develop national detailed industries below the NAICS industry
level, so long as the national detail can be aggregated to the NAICS classification, thus assuring
full North American comparability.
     The ECPC is proposing U.S. 5-digit industry detail for the three NAICS industry subsectors
covered in Part I of this notice.  For cases where no 5-digit detail is shown, the ECPC is
proposing that the NAICS 4-digit industries will also represent the most detailed U.S. industries.

                                            TABLE 1

The definitions of status codes are as follows: E-existing industry; N-new industry; R-revised industry; and * means "part of".  The abbreviation NEC is used for Not Elsewhere Classified.

               Description of Changes to the U.S. System
     
     1.  Subsector Structure - Three industry subsectors  replace 1987 Major Groups 22,
     Textile Mill Products and 23, Apparel and Other Textile Products.
       The Textile Mills subsector includes the activities of fiber and yarn preparation and
     finishing, fabric forming, and fabric finishing.  It includes 1987 SIC Industry Groups
     221, Broadwoven Fabric Mills, Cotton; 222, Broadwoven Fabric Mills, Manmade
     Fiber and Silk; 223, Broadwoven Fabric Mills, Wool; 224, Narrow Fabric Mills; 226,
     Textile Finishing, except Wool; and 228, Yarn and Thread Mills.  It also includes
     1987 SIC codes 2257, Weft Knit Fabric Mills; 2258, Lace and Warp Knit Fabric
     Mills; 2295, Coated Fabrics; 2297, Nonwoven Fabrics; and 2397, Schiffli Machine
     Embroideries.
       The Textile Product Mills subsector includes the activities of manufacturing finished
     textile products other than apparel.  It includes 1987 SIC Industry Groups 227, Carpets
     and Rugs; 1987 SIC industries 2296, Tire Cord and Tire Fabric; 2298, Cordage and
     Twine; 2391, Curtains and Draperies; 2392, Housefurnishings, NEC; 2393, Textile
     Bags; 2394, Canvas and Related Products; and 2399, Fabricated Textile Products,
     NEC.
       The Apparel Manufacturing subsector includes the activities of manufacturing
     apparel.  It includes the 1987 SIC Industry Groups 231, Men's and Boys' Suits and
     Coats; 232, Men's and Boys' Furnishings; 233, Women's and Misses' Outerwear; 234,
     Women's and Children's Undergarments; 235, Hats, Caps and Millinery; 236, Girls'
     and Children's Outerwear; 237, Fur Goods; and 238, Miscellaneous Apparel and
     Accessories.  It also includes 1987 SIC industries 2251, Women's Hosiery, except
     Socks; 2252, Hosiery, NEC; 2253, Knit Outerwear Mills; and 2254, Knit Underwear
     Mills.
       This structure represents the flow of activities through the various textile and
     apparel industries.  It was strongly supported by several segments of the industry and
     agreed to by both Canada and Mexico.
       The total number of industries for these subsectors is 44 and unchanged from 1987
     to 1997.  There are six new industries for these subsectors.  For time series linkage,
     eleven of the 1987 industries are comparable within three percent of the 1997
     industries.
       2. Textile Mills - Two new industries were added to the 1997 national industry
     structure for this subsector.  New industries were created for:
       Broadwoven Fabric Mills from 1987 SIC 2211, Broadwoven Fabric Mills, Cotton;
     1987 SIC 2221, Broadwoven Fabric Mills, Manmade; part of 1987 SIC 2231,
     Broadwoven Fabric Mills, Wool; and part of 1987 SIC 2299, Textile Goods, NEC. 
     These industries include establishments that weave yarn into fabric.  In the past, the
     weaving industries were separated by type of yarn used, e.g., cotton, manmade, etc.
     and this resulted in substantial industry switching and classification problems.
       Broadwoven Fabric Finishing Mills from 1987 SIC 2261, Finishing Plants, Cotton;
     1987 SIC 2262, Finishing Plants, Manmade; and part of 1987 SIC 2231, Broadwoven
     Fabric Mills, Wool.   As with weaving above, these industries are made up of
     establishments that perform the same activity, finishing of textile fabric.
           Three activities were transferred into the 1997 Textile Mills subsector.
       Broadwoven converters were transferred from part of 1987 Wholesale Trade SIC
     5131, Piece Goods and Notions, into part of NAICS industry Broadwoven Fabric
     Finishing.  This entrepreneurial function is more closely related to manufacturing than
     wholesaling.
       Converters, except broadwoven were transferred from part of 1987 Wholesale Trade
     SIC 5131, Piece Goods and Notions, into the new industry Finishing, Except
     Broadwoven Fabric Finishing.  This entrepreneurial function  is more closely related to
     manufacturing than wholesaling.
       Rubberized fabric was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 3069, Fabricated Rubber
     Products, NEC, into Fabric Coating Mills because coating fabric is the same activity
     regardless of the material used.
       Five activities included in this 1997 subsector were transferred from one industry to
     another within the Textile Mills subsector.
       Yarn of hard fiber was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2299, Textile Goods,
     NEC, into Yarn Spinning Mills because there is no difference in the spinning activity.
       Thread of hard fiber was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2299, Textile Goods,
     NEC, into Thread Mills because the production of thread does not vary by type of
     fiber.
       Broadwoven fabric of hard fiber was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2299,
     Textile Goods, NEC, into Broadwoven Fabric Mills because there is no difference in
     the weaving activity.
       Narrow fabric of hard fiber was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2299, Textile
     Goods, NEC, into Narrow Fabric Mills because of the same reason shown above.
       Felt transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2299, Textile Goods, NEC, into Nonwoven
     Fabric Mills because it is one of several ways to manufacture nonwoven fabric.
       The number of textile mills industries for 1997 is 12.  For time series linkage, only
     one of the 1987 industries is comparable within three percent of 1997 industries.
       3. Textile Product Mills - There were no new industries created for this subsector. 
     One activity transferred out of this subsector.
       Mops were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2392, House Furnishings, NEC, into
     Broom and Brush Manufacturing in the Miscellaneous Manufacturing subsector to
     achieve international comparability. 
       One activity included in the 1997 Textile Product Mills subsector was transferred
     between industries.
       Knit gloves and girdles were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2259, Knitting
     Mills, NEC, into All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills as a function of a
     textile product mill rather than a basic textile mill.
       There are eight industries in the 1997 Textile Product Mills subsector.  For time
     series linkage, six of the 1987 industries are comparable within three percent of the
     1997 industries.
       4. Apparel Manufacturing - Four new industries were created for this 1997 industry
     subsector.
       Men's and Boys' Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors from parts of the 1987 Men's
          and Boys', Children's and Miscellaneous Apparel industries.  This industry was created because the production function of contractors is so different than that of
     manufacturers and jobbers. 
       Women's and Girls' Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors from parts of the 1987
     Women's, Girls', Children's, and Miscellaneous Apparel industries.  This industry was
     created because the production function of contractors is so different than that of
     manufacturers and jobbers. 
       Fur and leather clothing from the 1987 SIC 2386, Leather and Sheep Lined
     Clothing, and fur apparel from part of 1987 SIC 2371, Fur Goods.  Both of these
     industries are very small and somewhat  similar in function.
       Apparel Belt, Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing from 1987 SIC 2387,
     Apparel Belts; 1987 SIC 2396, Automotive and Apparel Trimmings; and 1987 SIC
     2399, Fabricated Textile Products, NEC.  This is essentially a new all other category
     that was created from pieces left from several industries.
       Three activities were transferred from 1987 Major Group, Apparel and Other
     Textile Products.
       Seat belts and seat and tire covers were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2399,
     Fabricated Textile Products, NEC, into Motor Vehicle Fabric Accessory and Seat
     Manufacturing in the Transportation Equipment Manufacturing subsector to achieve
     international comparability.  Canada and Mexico already have these activities
     associated with motor vehicle manufacturing.
       Automotive trimmings were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2396, Automotive
     and Apparel Trimmings, into Motor Vehicle Fabric Accessory and Seat Manufacturing
     in the Transportation Equipment Manufacturing subsector to achieve international
     comparability.  Canada and Mexico already have these activities associated with motor
     vehicle manufacturing.
       Printing on apparel was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 2396, Automotive and
     Apparel Trimming, into Other Commercial Printing in the Printing and Related
     Support Activities subsector to be shown later.   This was done to achieve
     international comparability.  Mexico's establishments do printing without regard to the
     material.
       One activity was transferred into this subsector.
       Leather gloves and mittens were transferred from 1987 Major Group 31, Leather
     and Leather Products, into Glove and Mitten Manufacturing to achieve international
     comparability.  Canada cannot separate the production of leather gloves and mittens
     from fabric gloves and mittens because the leather activity is too small.
       Also there were a large number of activities that transferred to other industries
     within the textiles and apparel subsectors.  Some of the more significant of these are:
       Little boys' apparel was transferred from parts of 1987 SIC codes 2341, Women's
     and Children's Underwear; 2361, Girls' and Children's Dresses, Blouses, and Shirts;
     and 2369, Girls' and Children's Outerwear, NEC, to parts of various industries for
     men's and boys' apparel because of the overlap with manufacturers of men's and
     boys' clothing.
       Cut and sew contractors were transferred from each of the 1987 SIC codes for 
     outerwear and underwear into the two new industries for contractors.  This industry
     was created because the production function of contractors is so different than that of
     manufacturers and jobbers.
     
       There are 24 industries included in Apparel Manufacturing.  For time series
     comparability, four 1987 industries are comparable within three percent of 1997. 
     5.  Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing - Three activities were transferred out of
     the subsector.
       Wood heels were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 3131, Footwear Cut Stock, into
     All Other Miscellaneous Wood Product Manufacturing to be published separately to
     achieve international comparability.  Canada and Mexico had these classified
     elsewhere.
       Metal buckles were transferred from part of the 1987 SIC 3131, Footwear Cut
     Stock, into Fastener, Button, Needle, and Pin Manufacturing in the Miscellaneous
     Manufacturing subsector to be published separately, to achieve international
     comparability.  Canada and Mexico had these classified elsewhere.
       Leather gloves and mittens were transferred into Glove and Mitten Manufacturing
     for international comparability.
       Two activities were transferred into NAICS Leather and Allied Product
     Manufacturing.
       Fur dressing and finishing was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 3999
     Manufacturing Industries, NEC, into Leather and Hide Tanning and Finishing  to
     achieve international comparability.  The U.S. changed in order to agree with Canada
     and Mexico.
       Rubber and plastic footwear was transferred from the 1987 Major Group 30,
     Rubber and Miscellaneous Plastics Products, into this subsector to achieve international 
     comparability.  Canada and Mexico do not distinguish footwear manufacturing based
     on material.
       Also, there were several activities that transferred within the leather and allied
     product manufacturing industries.  The number of leather and allied product
     manufacturing industries decreased from 11 in 1987 to 7 in 1997.  For time series
     linkage, 7 of the 11 1987 industries are comparable within three percent of the 1997
     industries.
