    The SBDB draws information mostly from private research sources.  All of the basic files of the SBDB use individual establishment data (microdata), which can be easily manipulated and summarized at many levels.  Births and deaths, expansions and contractions of firms and establishments can be studied individually by firm size:  this is not possible by enterprise size using conventional federal statistics.  The SBDB is divided into three discrete files:
    Master Establishment List (MEL)
    This is a mailing list of more than 8.8 million 1985 establishments in the United States.
    United States Establishment and Enterprise Microdata (USEEM)
    This consists of microdata files of almost 25 million records on US small and large businesses.
    United States Establishment Longitudinal Microdata (USELM)
    These longitudinal establishment files are based upon samples of USEEM firms continuously in existence from 1976 to 1984.

    The Project is vital to the identification of donors to support the Partnership Projects coordinated by the Peace Corps Volunteers.  These self-help development projects, implemented by the overseas community, are an extension of Peace Corps' first goal in that they tap the skills of the Volunteers to promote development.  Furthermore, through the cross-cultural exchange which ensue, overseas and US, partners learn about one another in a direct, personal way.  These exchanges help fulfill Peace Corps' second and third goals.  The project listings is a summary of every project proposal currently in need of support.  It is disseminated to all potential donors, along with the Peace Corps Partnership Program Brochure.  These documents, together, allow US Partners to select the specific project they wish to support.  The project listing is updated as needed, generally every week or two.  Auxiliary to the listings are the records of donor contributions--the donor ledger.  These are continually updated by the Overseas Project Coordinator.  For more information contact the office above.

    The Reservation System is used to match applicants with both generic (Assignment Area) and specific (Training Class) Peace Corps projects.  This system maintains a list of all open projects and the number of people required for each one.  Projects are grouped by Program Year and Quarter.  When an applicant is nominated to become a Peace Corps Volunteer, he/she is placed in a slot for an 'Assignment Area (AA)' project.  Nominations are made for the various AAs until no more open slots remain or until there is too little time remaining to process nominees for assignments within the current program quarter.  The nominees in each AA then form a pool from which Placement offers will fill 'Training Class (TC)' requests for trainees within that AA.  This system provides an efficient way for VRS to manage its nominee and project information, providing a mechanism for monitoring fill rates for the various programs and insuring that fulfillment of trainee requests is systematic and equitable.

    The National Archives and Records Administration serves as the nation's repository for data tapes of historical or ongoing importance.  The National Archives is the only federal agency with the statutory responsibility of identifying and preserving valuable records of the federal government.
    The Center for Electronic Records currently stores tapes from more than 50 government departments and agencies.  The Center holds over 7000 unique data sets on many subjects covering a broad range of federal activity including agriculture, aviation, demographics, education, economics, employment, health, labor, civil rights, transportation, military, and international trade.  It also maintains selected records from most of the departments of the Executive Branch and many agencies, commissions, boards, and committees in over 3000 reels arranged in approximately 350 series.  The Archives is also the primary distributor of active data bases produced by the US Securities Exchange Commission and the now defunct Civil Aeronautics Board.
    This office at the National Archives can provide you with information on the existence, location and availability of data created by federal agencies.  Staff at the Center can respond to requests for specific files, for general types of data, or for data compatible with that currently being used by a researcher.  The Center's staff have a general knowledge about files currently held by federal agencies and they know who to contact in those agencies to obtain more detailed information about them, or about current and future data collection plans.
    The Center is entering titles of all its electronic data sets into a data base.  To help users identify its holdings, the Center will provide a printout of the titles entered to date in the data base.  The list of data sets is arranged according to Record Group (RG).  Generally, each federal department, agency, or bureau is assigned its own RG.
    The standard charge for a copy of one electronic data set is $90 for the first reel and $17 for each additional reel.  When multiple data sets can be copied on one reel, the charge is $90 for the first data set and $24.50 for each additional set.  Data set documentation is photocopied at $.35 per page of $1.05 per fiche.  There is a $5.00 minimum mail order.  With few exceptions, printouts of data sets, copies onto disk, CD-ROM or other electronic media, other than tape, and extracts of data sets are not available.  To request a title list or to obtain ordering information, contact the Center's Reference Service, listed above.

    One of the principal ways in which the National Endowment for the Arts fulfills its mission to encourage and support American arts and artists is through the awarding of grants to individuals and organizations.  The Arts Endowment receives between 15,000-16,000 applications for grant awards annually, and awards between 4,000-5,000 grants per year.  To facilitate the management and control of application and grant information received and processed at the Arts Endowment, an automated computer system was developed for the agency.  The Grants Management System is an online system which allows agency users to invoke various functions (e.g., maintenance, searching and reporting functions) interactively through menus.  The system operates in a WANG VS environment.  The Grants Management System contains pertinent information about applicants/grantees and the projects which are recommended for award.  A written request is generally required to obtain information from the Grants Management System.

    The National Archives and Records Administration serves as the nation's repository for data tapes of historical or ongoing importance.  The National Archives is the only federal agency with the statutory responsibility of identifying and preserving valuable records of the federal government.
    The Center for Electronic Records currently stores tapes from more than 50 government departments and agencies.  The Center holds over 7000 unique data sets on many subjects covering a broad range of federal activity including agriculture, aviation, demographics, education, economics, employment, health, labor, civil rights, transportation, military, and international trade.  It also maintains selected records from most of the departments of the Executive Branch and many agencies, commissions, boards, and committees in over 3000 reels arranged in approximately 350 series.  The Archives is also the primary distributor of active data bases produced by the US Securities Exchange Commission and the now defunct Civil Aeronautics Board.
    This office at the National Archives can provide you with information on the existence, location and availability of data created by federal agencies.  Staff at the Center can respond to requests for specific files, for general types of data, or for data compatible with that currently being used by a researcher.  The Center's staff have a general knowledge about files currently held by federal agencies and they know who to contact in those agencies to obtain more detailed information about them, or about current and future data collection plans.
    The Center is entering titles of all its electronic data sets into a data base.  To help users identify its holdings, the Center will provide a printout of the titles entered to date in the data base.  The list of data sets is arranged according to Record Group (RG).  Generally, each federal department, agency, or bureau is assigned its own RG.
    The standard charge for a copy of one electronic data set is $90 for the first reel and $17 for each additional reel.  When multiple data sets can be copied on one reel, the charge is $90 for the first data set and $24.50 for each additional set.  Data set documentation is photocopied at $.35 per page of $1.05 per fiche.  There is a $5.00 minimum mail order.  With few exceptions, printouts of data sets, copies onto disk, CD-ROM or other electronic media, other than tape, and extracts of data sets are not available.  To request a title list or to obtain ordering information, contact the Center's Reference Service, listed above.

    The National Archives and Records Administration serves as the nation's repository for data tapes of historical or ongoing importance.  The National Archives is the only federal agency with the statutory responsibility of identifying and preserving valuable records of the federal government.
    The Center for Electronic Records currently stores tapes from more than 50 government departments and agencies.  The Center holds over 7000 unique data sets on many subjects covering a broad range of federal activity including agriculture, aviation, demographics, education, economics, employment, health, labor, civil rights, transportation, military, and international trade.  It also maintains selected records from most of the departments of the Executive Branch and many agencies, commissions, boards, and committees in over 3000 reels arranged in approximately 350 series.  The Archives is also the primary distributor of active data bases produced by the US Securities Exchange Commission and the now defunct Civil Aeronautics Board.
    This office at the National Archives can provide you with information on the existence, location and availability of data created by federal agencies.  Staff at the Center can respond to requests for specific files, for general types of data, or for data compatible with that currently being used by a researcher.  The Center's staff have a general knowledge about files currently held by federal agencies and they know who to contact in those agencies to obtain more detailed information about them, or about current and future data collection plans.
    The Center is entering titles of all its electronic data sets into a data base.  To help users identify its holdings, the Center will provide a printout of the titles entered to date in the data base.  The list of data sets is arranged according to Record Group (RG).  Generally, each federal department, agency, or bureau is assigned its own RG.
    The standard charge for a copy of one electronic data set is $90 for the first reel and $17 for each additional reel.

    The National Archives and Records Administration serves as the nation's repository for data tapes of historical or ongoing importance.  The National Archives is the only federal agency with the statutory responsibility of identifying and preserving valuable records of the federal government.
    The Center for Electronic Records currently stores tapes from more than 50 government departments and agencies.  The Center holds over 7000 unique data sets on many subjects covering a broad range of federal activity including agriculture, aviation, demographics, education, economics, employment, health, labor, civil rights, transportation, military, and international trade.  It also maintains selected records from most of the departments of the Executive Branch and many agencies, commissions, boards, and committees in over 3000 reels arranged in approximately 350 series.  The Archives is also the primary distributor of active data bases produced by the US Securities Exchange Commission and the now defunct Civil Aeronautics Board.
    This office at the National Archives can provide you with information on the existence, location and availability of data created by federal agencies.  Staff at the Center can respond to requests for specific files, for general types of data, or for data compatible with that currently being used by a researcher.  The Center's staff have a general knowledge about files currently held by federal agencies and they know who to contact in those agencies to obtain more detailed information about them, or about current and future data collection plans.
    The Center is entering titles of all its electronic data sets into a data base.  To help users identify its holdings, the Center will provide a printout of the titles entered to date in the data base.  The list of data sets is arranged according to Record Group (RG).  Generally, each federal department, agency, or bureau is assigned its own RG.
    The standard charge for a copy of one electronic data set is $90 for the first reel and $17 for each additional reel.  When multiple data sets can be copied on one reel, the charge is $90 for the first data set and $24.50 for each additional set.  Data set documentation is photocopied at $.35 per page of $1.05 per fiche.  There is a $5.00 minimum mail order.  With few exceptions, printouts of data sets, copies onto disk, CD-ROM or other electronic media, other than tape, and extracts of data sets are not available.  To request a title list or to obtain ordering information, contact the Center's Reference Service, listed above.

* Radiometer-Scatterometer (RADSCAT) Flight Data (1973-1977) (PB84-214543/XDD) (See NTIS)
This file contains aircraft scatterometer data obtained over the ocean with the NASA Langley Research Center developed Radiometer-Scatterometer (RADSCAT) instrument.  These data are described in NASA Technical Memorandum 84608, entitled Archival of Aircraft Scatterometer Data from AAFE RADSCAT Missions.  The tapes contain nerdas parameters and instrument output parameters.  The first record in each file contains the mission number; flight number; the day, month and year in which the data were acquired; and the flight line and run number.  The record structure, scale factors, etc., are given in the document referenced above.  The Radiometer-Scatterometer (RADSCAT) instrument was developed through the Advanced Applications Flight Experiment (AAFE) Program to study the capability of the sensor to make measurements of target signature from a remote platform.  The RADSCAT was designed to make K-Band Scatterometer Normalized Radar Cross Section (NRCS) measurements and radiometer brightness temperature measurements of the same target on the Earth's surface.  Only the Scatterometer data are provided on these tapes, since the radiometer measurement precision was found to be coarse (greater than 10K).  A detailed description of the AAFE RADSCAT is available in NASA TM X-73900, entitled Laboratory Calibration of AAFE Radiometer/Scatterometer (RADSCAT).

    The National Archives and Records Administration serves as the nation's repository for data tapes of historical or ongoing importance.  The National Archives is the only federal agency with the statutory responsibility of identifying and preserving valuable records of the federal government.
    The Center for Electronic Records currently stores tapes from more than 50 government departments and agencies.  The Center holds over 7000 unique data sets on many subjects covering a broad range of federal activity including agriculture, aviation, demographics, education, economics, employment, health, labor, civil rights, transportation, military, and international trade.  It also maintains selected records from most of the departments of the Executive Branch and many agencies, commissions, boards, and committees in over 3000 reels arranged in approximately 350 series.  The Archives is also the primary distributor of active data bases produced by the US Securities Exchange Commission and the now defunct Civil Aeronautics Board.
    This office at the National Archives can provide you with information on the existence, location and availability of data created by federal agencies.  Staff at the Center can respond to requests for specific files, for general types of data, or for data compatible with that currently being used by a researcher.  The Center's staff have a general knowledge about files currently held by federal agencies and they know who to contact in those agencies to obtain more detailed information about them, or about current and future data collection plans.
    The Center is entering titles of all its electronic data sets into a data base.  To help users identify its holdings, the Center will provide a printout of the titles entered to date in the data base.  The list of data sets is arranged according to Record Group (RG).  Generally, each federal department, agency, or bureau is assigned its own RG.
    The standard charge for a copy of one electronic data set is $90 for the first reel and $17 for each additional reel.  When multiple data sets can be copied on one reel, the charge is $90 for the first data set and $24.50 for each additional set.  Data set documentation is photocopied at $.35 per page of $1.05 per fiche.  There is a $5.00 minimum mail order.  With few exceptions, printouts of data sets, copies onto disk, CD-ROM or other electronic media, other than tape, and extracts of data sets are not available.  To request a title list or to obtain ordering information, contact the Center's Reference Service, listed above.

    The National Archives and Records Administration serves as the nation's repository for data tapes of historical or ongoing importance.  The National Archives is the only federal agency with the statutory responsibility of identifying and preserving valuable records of the federal government.
    The Center for Electronic Records currently stores tapes from more than 50 government departments and agencies.  The Center holds over 7000 unique data sets on many subjects covering a broad range of federal activity including agriculture, aviation, demographics, education, economics, employment, health, labor, civil rights, transportation, military, and international trade.  It also maintains selected records from most of the departments of the Executive Branch and many agencies, commissions, boards, and committees in over 3000 reels arranged in approximately 350 series.  The Archives is also the primary distributor of active data bases produced by the US Securities Exchange Commission and the now defunct Civil Aeronautics Board.
    This office at the National Archives can provide you with information on the existence, location and availability of data created by federal agencies.  Staff at the Center can respond to requests for specific files, for general types of data, or for data compatible with that currently being used by a researcher.  The Center's staff have a general knowledge about files currently held by federal agencies and they know who to contact in those agencies to obtain more detailed information about them, or about current and future data collection plans.
    The Center is entering titles of all its electronic data sets into a data base.  To help users identify its holdings, the Center will provide a printout of the titles entered to date in the data base.  The list of data sets is arranged according to Record Group (RG).  Generally, each federal department, agency, or bureau is assigned its own RG.
    The standard charge for a copy of one electronic data set is $90 for the first reel and $17 for each additional reel.  When multiple data sets can be copied on one reel, the charge is $90 for the first data set and $24.50 for each additional set.  Data set documentation is photocopied at $.35 per page of $1.05 per fiche.  There is a $5.00 minimum mail order.  With few exceptions, printouts of data sets, copies onto disk, CD-ROM or other electronic media, other than tape, and extracts of data sets are not available.  To request a title list or to obtain ordering information, contact the Center's Reference Service, listed above.

    The NSSDC's information system identifies about 4,000 distinct data sets that the NSSDC archives on various media:  magnetic tape, optical disk, microfilm, microfiche, and photographic film of various sizes.  These data sets come from about 1,000 distinct sensors which have flown on a few hundred spacecraft.  The earliest data come from the dawn of the space age in the late 1950s.  Most data are from NASA missions, although a few data sets come from other US missions (e.g., Department of Defense) or from non-US missions.  The NSSDC holds no classified data.  NSSDC data holdings span the range of scientific disciplines in which NASA is involved.  These include astrophysics, lunar and planetary science, solar physics, space plasma physics, and Earth science.  Landsat data are specifically excluded by agreement reached years ago.  Each year the list of most requested data sets from the NSSDC contains representatives from all disciplines.

    One of the most accessed value-added data sets that the NSSDC maintains is the composite, hourly resolution, near Earth solar wind magnetic field and plasma data set.  Field and plasma data have each been provided by approximately 12 different spacecraft, and extensive cross-calibrations were performed in creating the composite set.  In addition, the data set contains selected solar and geomagnetic activity indices (R, C9, Kp, Dst).  The data set currently spans 1963 to 1987 and is periodically updated.  The data set presently online via the NSSDC account spans the 1973-87 period only.  In the last few years, the Interplanetary Monitoring Platform 8 (IMP 8) has been the primary source for the magnetic field and plasma data.#

    The Pilot Land Data System (PLDS) will provide a distributed information system to support research by land scientists.  The PLDS will aid land scientists in their research by helping them identify data of use to them, acquiring those data no matter where they are located, and providing them a mechanism to access remote computer facilities using electronic communications.  The PLDS is a multicenter cooperative data system currently under development, with the NSSDC serving as project office and lead center, and the Ames Research Center (ARC) and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as participating centers.  Currently, the data system is geared toward support of three land science projects, the International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project (ISLSCP), the ISLSCP Retrospective Analysis Project (IRAP), the First ISLSCP Field Experiment (FIFE), and the Sedimentary Basins Project (SBP).  However, in the future, there will be more emphasis on the needs of the broader land science community.

    Greenbelt, MD  20771     [phone]
    The Roentgen Satellite (ROSAT) Project is a cooperative venture between the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), NASA in the United States, and SERC in the United Kingdom (UK).  The satellite mission is the study of stellar X-ray sources.  The ROSAT spacecraft, designed and operated by the West Germans, is managed by the MPE and flies three major instruments:  A Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) designed and built by the FRG, a High Resolution Interferometer (HRI) designed and built by the US, and a Wide Field Camera (WFC) designed and built by the UK.  The NSSDC was selected as the US ROSAT Science Data Center (USRSDC) by NASA Headquarters, and has been chosen to design the mission planning software to create, maintain, and track ROSAT Observation Requests (RORs).  As a result, the Mission and Information Planning System (MIPS) has been developed.  This system will assist NASA Headquarters and the ROSAT Users Committee with the evaluation, selection, and scheduling of US proposals for observing X-ray sources by the ROSAT satellite.  It will provide necessary schedules and reports to NASA Headquarters, the GSFC ROSAT Science Team, the MPE, and general observers, and will directly interface with the West German mission planning software at the MPE.  Mission planning personnel will use the resulting observation schedules as a basis for the tracking of the processed data and its subsequent archiving in the NSSDC.  MIPS will support guest observers in determining targets of interest, coordinating proposals, and inspecting the catalog of ROSAT observations and the catalogs of previous X-ray astronomy missions of the Einstein Observatory and the ESA's European X-Ray Observation Satellite (EXOSAT).  It will also provide an electronic mail facility to enable communication between general observers and an online bulletin board for the review of common observer news and information.

* Space Physics Analysis Network (SPAN)
    SPAN Network Manager
    NSSDC, Code 630.2
    NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center
    Greenbelt, MD  20771     [phone]
    The Space Physics Analysis Network (SPAN) links DECnet-based computers doing space and Earth science research and data analysis in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South America.  It provides a common working environment for sharing computer resources and computer peripherals, and providing the potential for significant time and cost savings for correlative data analysis.  At the present time, SPAN uses four central routing nodes connected with six 56-kilobit per second (kbps) links.  The routing centers are located at the GSFC, Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), JPL, and Johnson Space Center (JSC).  Additional SPAN routing nodes are planned for ARC and Kennedy Space Flight Center (KSC).  Remote SPAN nodes are typically linked to the closest of these four routing centers using 9.6-kbps circuits (called tail circuits).  With the extremely rapid growth in the number of SPAN nodes and users, concern was focused on how researchers can easily identify computers and locate other users on SPAN.  The NSSDC developed an online SPAN data base that contains information about the SPAN nodes (e.g., type of computer, location, contact person, discipline supported, node address), and will implement a data base containing SPAN user information that will provide the basis for a directory of SPAN users.  The online system is called the SPAN-Network Information Center (SPAN-NIC).  In addition to the SPAN data base, SPAN-NIC contains general SPAN information and history, a list of SPAN documents that can be requested, SPAN inter-mail address syntaxes, and important SPAN news briefs.  A network information coordinator is available to help users with network problems.

    NSSDC, Code 633
    NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center
    Greenbelt, MD  20771     [phone]
    The NSSDC currently archives some of the key data sets for the study of stratospheric ozone, a subject that has received considerable attention lately among climate research scientists and in the media.  One of the key instruments for measuring the total ozone column globally is the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) currently flying on NASA's Nimbus 7 satellite.  It produces daily global maps of the total ozone column, and was instrumental in the discovery and subsequent studies of the so-called "Ozone Hole" over the Antarctic continent.  In anticipation of the need for the ozone data by atmospheric research scientists, the NSSDC has put approximately 120 days of TOMS ozone data online.  These data were taken during the most recent Antarctic ozone hole episode lasting from September through November, 1987.  Scientists using SPAN can download TOMS data from NSSDC's computers to their own computers for further analysis.  New features to be added include convenient remote access to these data using a personal computer such as the IBM PC.  To reduce the transmission time, users will be able to select subsets of TOMS data based on time or geographic location.

* National Labor Surplus Area Zip Code File, 1989 (PB89-135982/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The labor surplus area (LSA) program gives preference or priority to businesses located in areas with high unemployment in the award of Federal contracts.  The Labor Surplus Area Zip code Reference file makes it possible to use the zip code in a firm's address as a way of determining LSA eligibility.  The US Department of Labor (DOL) supplied the list of LSAs used to prepare this file.  This list consists of areas classified as LSA's by DOL.  The automated source for zip code was the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 55 (FIPS PUB 55) dated February 2, 1982.  Its title is "Codes for Named Populated Places and Related Entities of the States of the United States."  Data obtained from the FIPS PUB 55 is subject to the limitations stated in that document.  In addition, there was also a need for a manual source for zip codes, and the "United States Postal Service Zip Code Directory for 1983" was used for that purpose.  This reference is only as accurate as the sources from which it was drawn.  Properly used, it can be a helpful tool in making LSA set-aside and subcontracting decisions.  Users are cautioned not to rely solely on the zip code in determining a firm's eligibility.  Zip codes and labor surplus areas do not always share the same boundaries.  For example, a zip code can include parts of two counties, one of which is classified as a LSA and one of which is not.  Therefore, it is possible hat a firm which has a zip code appearing in this reference may not actually be in an LSA.  In addition, a zip code may identify a businesses' headquarters offices which are located in an LSA, while the actual point of production or plant facility may or may not be in an LSA.  Therefore, this list should be used as a starting point in locating eligible LSA firms.  Businesses which have been identified by use of this list should be contacted to verify their LSA status.

* Continuity of Import and Export Trade Statistics After Implementation of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System:  Cross Reference Tables: TSUSA to HTS/HTS to TSUSA.  Annex I and II (PB89-117188/XDD) (See NTIS)
In 1980, the US began development of a new import tariff schedule based on the then emerging Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding system (HS).  A definitive version named the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) was published in December 1987.  The HTS is expected to be implemented on January 1, 1989, replacing the Tariff Schedules of the United States, Annotated (TSUSA).  The HTS uses the HS as its core structure and then further delineates product detail.  USITC Publication 2051, "Continuity of Import and Export Trade Statistics After Implementation of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding system" provides the international trade community with two different sets of information which may be of use in maintaining the continuity of import and export data by "bridging" the old systems with the new HS-based ones.  Publication 2051 was issued in two parts.  The first part was published in January 1988 and consisted of a short narrative section explaining the basic purpose of the report and two annexes (Annex I and II).  Annex I is a cross-reference table between 8-digit HTS subheadings and 7-digit TSUSA numbers.

    The Consumer Complaint System, and its related correspondence control systems, are designed to track and manage information about consumer correspondence received by the Commission.  The system permits users to capture pertinent information from the consumer letters, including alleged statute and rule violations, unsatisfactory products, or questionable practices by the companies named in the correspondence.  The system also is used to produce, automatically, high quality letters that respond to the issues raised by the consumers and provide information outlining the rights and responsibilities of both the consumer and business.  The system has the capability of providing, through standard and specially designed reports, information that identifies emerging and changing trends in the concerns of the public.  That information is useful in directing law enforcement resources, investigating and proving alleged violations, and monitoring compliance with Commission orders.

The 1983 Survey of Consumer Finances, jointly sponsored by the Federal Reserve Board, the Department of Health and Human Services, and five other federal agencies, collected a comprehensive inventory of the assets and liabilities of a base sample of 3,824 randomly selected US households.  To increase the representation of wealthy families in the survey, the base sample was augmented with 438 high-income families drawn from tax files.  A multistage probability design was used to select a representative sample of all families in the contiguous 48 states in the United States, exclusive of those on military bases and those that have been institutionalized.  Participating families were drawn from 74 sample points in 37 states and the District of Columbia.  The high-income supplement was drawn from tax files in a manner designed to preserve the privacy of tax information and to shield the identity of sample participants from the government.  Interviews for the 1983 survey were carried out by the Survey Research Center from February through July 1983.  Please see the Federal Reserve Bulletin issues for September 1984, December 1984, and March 1986 for additional information concerning this survey.

A number of standard demographic characteristics were also recorded.  The original sample consisted of a random selection of 2500 residential telephone numbers.  A total of 1946 completed interviews were obtained.

The tape contains aggregate data on money stock measures and liquid assets (M1, M2, M3) as well as components of the money stock measures and related items.  The historical data on money stock reflect revisions to incorporate annual seasonal adjustment and benchmark changes.  Monthly data are shown for the period 1959 through 1985.  Weekly data are for the period 1975 through 1984 and are based on weeks ended on Monday to correspond with the reporting cycle under contemporaneous reserve requirements.  No data prior to 1975 have been constructed on the week ended Monday basis.  Benchmark Revisions:  Deposits have been benchmarked to recent Call Reports.  In addition, new data sources have been used in estimating RP's and term Eurodollars.  Seasonal Revisions:  Seasonal factors have been revised based on the X-11 ARIMA procedure adopted in 1982.  Nontransactions M2 again has been seasonally adjusted as a whole - instead of being built up for seasonally adjusted savings and small time deposits - in order to reduce distortions caused by portfolio shifts arising from financial changes in recent years, especially shifts to MMDAs in 1983.  A similar procedure has been used to seasonally adjust the non-M2 portion of M3.

This includes the Financial Report for Bank Holding Companies (BHC Level).  Description of Contents for FR-Y9 Reports:  Financial data including information on assets, liabilities, and income for large bank holding companies was reported beginning with the December 31, 1975 reporting period.  Data is available on an annual basis from 1975 through 1977.  Beginning with the December 31, 1978 reporting period, data was collected annually for BHCs greater than $100 million in total consolidated assets, and semiannually for BHCs greater than $300 million in total consolidated assets.  Prior to the December 31, 1978 report the reporting panel was based on different size criteria.  As a result of these varying size criteria the panel of reporters is not consistent over time.  Beginning with the 86/06 reporting period, all BHCs are required to report some financial data.  Bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $150 million or more report data at both the consolidated and parent only level on a quarterly basis.  Those organizations with consolidated assets of less than $150 million report parent only data semi-annually.  Large bank holding companies (total consolidated assets greater than 1 billion) and those bank holding companies that have significant holdings of nonbank subsidiaries are required to file a combined financial statement (FR Y-11Q) for those subsidiaries on a quarterly basis.  The data is used primarily by staff in the Board's Division of Bank Supervision and Regulation and at the Federal Reserve District Banks to monitor the financial condition of large BHC and to supplement the supervision and examination process.  Other individual documents are also available.

    Data in this category provide information regarding the key facilities of the water supply systems which serve populations in excess of 50,000 persons.  For every important facility of each water system, data are given showing its location, vulnerability to damage, capacity, and identification of units considered critical to the system.  These data are arranged by Federal, Regional, State, and water system in general.  The water system usually corresponds to a city of metropolitan area, however, this is not true in every case.  Only those water system facilities which are subject to blast damage and are essential to system operation are included in the input data.  Thus, most ground storage reservoirs and underground piping have been eliminated because of their relative invulnerability to blast.  The data records contain:  (a) capacity of supply storage (in millions of gallons); (b) rate of flow of supply facilities (in hundred thousand gallons per day); (c) capacity of pumping station, booster station, pressure control stations (in hundred thousand gallons per day); (d) capacity of treatment plants (in hundred thousand gallons per day); (e) capacity of reservoirs, standpipes, storage tanks (in hundred thousand gallons capacity); and (f) capacity of pumping plants, booster stations, pressure control stations (in ten thousand gallons per day).

    This file covers all manufacturing establishments included in the 1983 Annual Survey of Manufacturers (ASM) and is sequenced to allow summary analyses at the two-, three-, and four-digit Standard Industrial classification (SIC) level.  Input records consist, for the most part, of individually selected establishment statistics records and can be made available only in the case of nuclear attack upon the United States.  The 1983 ASM was conducted by the Bureau of the Census using a stratified sample of manufacturing establishments in which all large plants (generally those with 250 or more employees) were included.  In order that summaries based on this file may be used for peacetime emergency preparedness studies and exercises while insuring the protection of individual company operations against disclosure, the data fields of each resource record have been "adjusted" through the use of randomly selected multipliers.  This "adjusted" file then becomes category MEI.  Nine measure fields are provided as follows:  (a) net value of shipments in thousands of dollars; (b) value of contract work in thousands of dollars; (c) net value added, adjusted, in thousands of dollars; (d) raw materials inventoried, in thousands of dollars; (e) work in process inventories in thousands of dollars; (f) finished goods inventory, in thousands of dollars; (g) total employment (unscaled); (h) electric energy purchased, in thousands of KWH; and (i) electric energy generated, in thousands of KWH.  Geographic coding permits county, State and Metropolitan Statistical Area aggregation and retrieval.

 A significant body of information is currently available to characterize the burden of possibly hazardous organic chemicals (HOCs) in ambient environments.  However, these data have not been accessible in an organized format, and no attempt had been made to study their significance or to integrate them into a useful and cohesive document.  In this study, ambient data, primarily from the years 1970 through 1980, from 241 references covering 151 chemicals were collected and collated into a computer-accessible data base.  Data acquisition has been limited primarily to a few geographical regions, and most sampling programs have been performed in the warmer months and during daylight hours.  Specific recommendations are made for future studies regarding data reporting.  A strategy for an effective national monitoring program was presented.

The collection contains: EPA Reports, Books, Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) policy and guidance directives, periodicals, relevant Federal Register Notices, and a listing of commercial data bases with hazardous waste information that are available through the EPA library network.  Hard copies of these documents and the data base are available through the EPA library network.  Hard copies of these documents and the data base are available in the Headquarters and Regional libraries, the National Enforcement Investigations Center, and the EPA laboratory libraries in Cincinnati, Edison, RTP, Ada, and Las Vegas.  A list of the documents is available in all other EPA laboratory libraries.  The data base provides automated search and retrieval capabilities by the following access points: keyword/subject heading, abstract, title, author, sponsoring organization/office, project managers name, contract number and more.  The data base is organized into three areas: periodicals, commercial data bases, and monographs (books, non-EPA Reports; EPA Reports; OSWER policy and guidance directives.)

* Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) (available on diskette) (PB88-215884/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), an online data base of chemical-specific risk information was made available outside EPA.  IRIS provides information on how chemicals affect human health and is a primary source of EPA risk assessment information on chemicals of environmental concern.  The principal section of IRIS is the chemical files.  The chemical files contain: oral and inhalation reference doses for noncarcinogens; oral and inhalation carcinogen assessments; summarized Drinking Water Health Advisories; summaries of selected EPA regulations; supplementary data (for example, acute toxicity information and physical-chemical properties).  The two primary types of health assessment information in IRIS are reference doses and carcinogen assessments.  Reference doses are estimated human chemical exposures over a lifetime which ar just below the expected threshold for adverse health effects.  Because exposure assessment pertains to exposure at a particular place, IRIS cannot provide situational information on exposure assessment to characterize the risk of chemical exposure.  This risk characterization can be used to decide what must be done to protect human health.  Oral reference doses (RfD) are provided for most of the chemicals in IRIS and carcinogen slope factors are provided for some.  Inhalation reference doses are not yet available in IRIS.  Inhalation reference doses will be added after the Agency produces a methodology for developing these RfDs.  For more information on IRIS call IRIS User Support at [phone] or FTS 684-7254.

* National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) Utility Reference File, 1980: Electric Utility Data Base (PB87-182879/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The focus of emission inventory activities within the National Acid Precipitation Program (NAPAP) is to estimate emissions of pollutants of concern to the acid deposition phenomenon.  Electric utilities emit a large share of total acid deposition precursor emissions.  The purpose of the study was to produce a 1980 utility data base that met the needs of NAPAP task groups for utility data.  Special emphasis was placed on meeting data needs of atmospheric modelers, emissions forecasters, and policy analysts.  The product of the analysis, the NAPAP Utility Reference File, now serves as the source of emissions data for the 1980 NAPAP emission inventory.  It also serves as the source of operating and economic data for utility simulation models.  Because both fossil and non-fossil units are included, the total number of units is more than 11,000.  Utility No(x) and SO(2) emission estimates made using NAPAP Utility Reference file data for 1980.  Six data files are included on the tape; four NAPAP update files and both the existing and announced Unit Inventory files.  These are derivative files of the NAPAP Reference Utility Files (NURF).  These files contain 1980-based electric utility related unit-level data.  The NAPAP update files include corrected and added data on all electric utility generating units, fuel specific emission data, stack parameter data, and announced or coal-converting units.  The existing Unit Inventory contains unit-specific data on larger generating units and aggregated information on smaller ones: the announced Unit Inventory contains data on those units coming online or planned for coal conversion data after 1980.

* Regional Air Pollution Study (RAPS) 1976 Hourly Area Source Emissions (CDC Format), January 1-21, 1976 (PB84-203512/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The St. Louis Regional Air Pollution Study (RAPS), provided a comprehensive documentation of regional air quality, meteorology and pollutant emissions.  RAPS involved an average data collection rate in excess of one million observations per day over a 3 year period (1974-1977).  The overall objective of the Regional Air Pollution Study (RAPS) was to create a comprehensive research data set to be used in the development, evaluation and validation of Air Quality Simulation Models.  The RAPS 1976 hourly area source missions data are contained on a series of six IBM binary or eighteen CDC binary tapes.  Hourly emissions of the criteria pollutants (1) total suspended particulate, (2) sulfur dioxide, (3) nitrogen oxide, (4) total hydrocarbons (5) carbon monoxide, as well as fugitive dust and the breakdown of total hydrocarbon into moles of nonreactive hydrocarbon, paraffins, olefins, aromatics and aldehydes, are reported for 1989 RAPS grids varying in size from 2 square kilometer to 100 square kilometers.  The gridded area covers Air Quality Control Region (AQCR) 70 in entirety.  The reported hourly data combines several major categories of area source emissions: river vessels, fugitive dust, highways, railroads, stationary residential and commercial, off-highway mobile, stationary industrial sources and airports.  The stationary industrial source category contains the minor point sources emitting less than 0.01% of a given pollutant.  The complimentary hourly point source data is available on another series of tapes.  State-of-the-art emission inventory methodologies in 1976 were used to provide much of the temporal and spatial resolution required for use in Air Quality Simulation Models.  The first file on each tape contains file formats and record layouts.  The second file on each tape contains grid descriptions; thus each tape may be accessed independently.

    Acute Oral Toxicity Data for rats (from RTECS); wild birds (US FWS) and wild mice (US FWS) have been compiled on dBIII and sorted according to carbon number in chemical formula, CAS number and chemical name.  Purpose is for searches from PMN substance chemical structure to ECTOX chemical analogs for EEB ECOTOX hazard assessments.  Data is from literature.  Literature citations (publications) very difficult and time consuming to search; dB III sort routine reduces analog searches to minutes.  Almost 20,000 records compiled.  A diskette copy of the data base and search programs can be obtained by EPA staff upon request.  The copy can be installed on any IBM PC-compatible computer, although an IBM AT level microcomputer is recommended for best performance.

* World Data Bank II (WDBII) (PB87-184768/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The World Data Bank II is a digital representation of the world divided into four geographic areas, contained on magnetic tapes.  Each tape contains three files of unique line segments defined by individually-digitized points.  The four specific areas are: North America (Volume 1); South America (Volume 2); Europe/Africa (Volume 3); and Asia (Volume 4).  The three files contained in each volume are (a) coastlines, islands, and lakes (CIL); (b) rivers (RIV); and (c) international boundaries (BDY).  In addition, Volume 1 contains a fourth file of internal boundaries (PBY) to further delineate the individual states in the USA and the provinces in Canada.  World Data Bank II was digitized at scales ranging from 1:1 million to 1:4 million.  Nominal scale is 1:3 million.  The data file was updated in January 1987 and contains some changes, f.ex., many rivers and boundaries have been realized as have the coast lines of the U.K.and lower Scandinavia.  A number of lakes and islands have been added.  About 1,000 lakes were moved from the coast, island and lake file to the river file, so that rivers would not be broken up and so that there were not many small lakes when no rivers were plotted.

    The Injury Cost Model is an analytical tool designed to measure the benefits of injury reduction in monetary terms.  It evaluates individual actions but also aids in grasping the magnitude of the overall problem of consumer-product related injuries and in examining the relative importance of diverse types of injuries associated with the use of different products and groups of products.  The model is structured to measure 12 types of costs separately, one component at a time, and then to add them together to establish the total cost of an injury.  A variety of techniques are used to estimate the cost components including regression analysis, samples means from large data bases, and direct analytic solution.

    The Survey of Aging Veterans was designed to provide the Veterans Administration with information needed to plan for the demands of United States veterans for medical and pension benefits over the next decade and beyond.  The goal of the study was to permit estimates of future demands and future support needed for the rapidly expanding older veteran population.  The survey yields data on the current social, economic, and health status of noninstitutionalized veterans ages 65 and older, their patterns of utilization of Veterans Administration facilities and benefits, and future expectations regarding use of Veterans Administration programs and services.  The survey also profiles the social, economic, and health status of the veteran cohorts ages 55 to 64 who will become eligible for Veterans Administration benefits over the next decade.

    FEE and new FEE Basis Systems together comprise a centralized ADP system which processes payments to private physicians, medical suppliers and pharmacists for products and services rendered to authorized veterans.  Statistics are kept on payments to or on behalf of veterans by various categories (e.g. service connected, non-service connected) and on how much vendors earn.  Logic in both the Austin and Decentralized Hospital Computer Program software cuts down on duplicate payments.  It also provides for the disbursement of payments to veterans for medically-related travel expenses.  It also provides demographic information useful to Medical District Initiated Program Planning (MEDIPP).  CHAMPVA payments will be processed through FEE, although the Denver system will maintain the statistics.  During fiscal year 1998 enhancements will enable all VA Medical Center's to report required FEE data into a single system.

    The Department of Veterans Affairs administers five government life insurance programs which provide approximately $28 billion in coverage to approximately 3.6 million policyholders.  In addition there are 170,000 beneficiaries of deceased veterans who are receiving monthly annuity checks in lieu of a lump sum payment of the policy proceeds.  Unlike the other benefit programs, the insurance programs are generally self-supporting, except for the administrative expenses which are paid from GOE appropriations.  In 1986 the programs disbursed approximately $2 billion, collected $863 million in premiums, and earned approximately $1.2 billion in interest income on the programs' $13 billion in trust fund investments.  To administer the 3.6 million individual life insurance policies, the Veterans Benefit Administration has undertaken a major redesign of its Insurance Automated Data Processing system, which was designed in the early 1960's.

    The system has as its objective provision of comprehensive health insurance coverage for eligible dependents of 100% disabled or deceased veterans in specific categories.  For the past fifteen (15) years the payment of CHAMPVA claims has been handled by the Department of Defense (DOD) through a Memorandum of Understanding.  The Department of Defense further contracted with separate non-government organizations to process the CHAMPVA claims along with the DOD CHAMPUS claims.  Basic eligibility data processing for this arrangement was provided by the DOD DEERS group.  In addition to paying for the authorized claims, the VA pays to DOD an administrative fee to cover the cost of administering and processing the CHAMPVA claims.  The VA has proposed to take over all processing and handling of the CHAMPVA claims and as soon as possible abolish the Memorandum of Understanding with DOD concerning CHAMPVA.

    This file includes industry investment data and associated estimates of gross and net capital stock in current constant dollars for the period 1947-1971. The industry classification is the three digit SIC level for manufacturing and 1958 BEA interindustry study classification for the non-manufacturing sectors.  The capital estimates were made using the perpetual inventory method.  The net stock estimates are based upon assumed depreciation function which accelerates over the life of the investment item.  Investment life parameters were taken from Bulletin F, US Department of the Treasury, adjusted to make the stock estimates equal the average book values reported to Census for 1962-64 for manufacturing sectors.  For manufacturing sectors, the live parameters were adjusted using information from regulatory agencies and other sources.  Separate estimates were prepared for stocks owned by the Federal Government and operated by private contractors.  Public sector stock later sold to the private sector are given separately for manufacturing sectors and are included in the non-manufacturing estimates.c

    A file is available on the revision of the 1947 and 1958 national tables to derive separate input-output detail for eight modes of transportation:  railroads, overseas water transportation, domestic water transportation, trucking and warehousing, airlines and aviation services, pipelines, intercity bus and local passenger transportation, and transportation services not elsewhere classified.  The 1947 revisions are to be incorporated in the OBE version of the table which is being aggregated and redefined as necessary to be consistent with the classification and definitions of the 1958 table.  The work was intended to provide a basis for analyzing the time trends in transportation requirements by industry sectors in the input-output model by separate modes of transportation over the period 1947, 1958, and 1963 (data for the latter year to be supplied from the forthcoming input-output table for 1963).  The study was performed by Jack Faucett Associates, Inc., under contract with The Office of the Secretary of Transportation of the US Department of Transportation, assisted by several members of the staff of the Harvard Economic Research Project.

Twelve field test runs were performed to measure friction snubber forces using a device developed by Wyle Laboratories, Colorado Springs.  Reel 1 contains test runs 001 and 002.  Four devices were installed on a Type 1 truck (the Barber S-2) which was placed under the B-end of an empty open hopper car.  Forty-eight channels of data were acquired on friction snubber force, car speed, automatic location detection, acceleration, and displacement at critical points on the truck and car body.  The first test run was made over branchline class 2 track on the Blue Diamond Spur near Las Vegas, Nevada.  The test zone included both tangent and curved jointed rail with an uphill grade of approximately 1.8%.  The test run starts at 20 mph at milepost 5 and continues until milepost 7, where the speed starts decreasing down to 2 mph at the end of the test at milepost 8.2.  The second test run was made over mainline class 4 track with a downhill grade of approximately 0.8%.  The test run starts at 50 mph at milepost 322 and continues until milepost 324.5, where the speed starts decreasing down to 5 mph at the end of the test at milepost 326.8.  The significant test parameters associated with these two tests are:  Car Type - 100-ton open hopper; Car Orientation - B-end forward; Car Tare Weight - 63,600 pounds; Tare Weight 149,300 pounds; Type of Lading - empty; Truck Center -40 feet, 6 inches; No. of Loco's - 1; No. of Cars Fore - 2; No. of Cars Aft - 2; Truck type - Barber 70-ton; Wheel Base - 68 inches; Springs Group Out - 7 D5; Spring Group In - 4 D5; Stat Spring Comp - 11 inches; Center Plate Diameter - 14 inches; Center Plate Lub - Moly Disulfide; Side Bear B-End - Stucki Double; Side Bear Clear - 0.23 inches; Snubber Type - load varying; Snubber Springs - 2 Barber B432.

* Industry Labor Turnover - National:  1930 to Date (Updated Monthly) (PB82-948400/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The Labor Turnover program produces data through a cooperative Federal-State venture.  Each month State employment security agencies collect data on labor turnover actions from a sample of establishments drawn from a list of those subject to State unemployment insurance programs.  Labor turnover refers to the gross movement of wage and salary workers into and out of employed status with respect to individual establishments.  Series for accessions and separations express these actions as a rate per 100 employees.  Separate rate are computed for component items of these series:  new hires and recalls, quits and layoffs.  Almost 1,600 published monthly series are available for 248 manufacturing industries and for 12 mining and communication industries.  Rates are available for manufacturing from 1930 and for telephone and telegraph from 1943.  For industry groups and individual industries in the manufacturing and mining divisions, all series begin in 1958.  Seasonally adjusted series for manufacturing, commencing in 1930 complete the published series.

The CPS is a nation-wide monthly sample of households and is designed to represent the civilian non=institutional population, 16 years and older.  These data are compiled and aggregated by personal and labor force characteristics.  Presently, there are approximately 25,000 labor force series available each month.  Major employment status series - civilian labor force, employed, unemployed, and the unemployment rate - are defined by race, age, sex, industrial and occupational classification, class of worker and other characteristics.  Also available are selected series for total and civilian non-institutional population and the status of those not in the labor force.

* National Labor Surplus Area (LSA) Zip Code File, January 1985 (PB85-157360/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The labor surplus area (LSA) program gives preference or priority to businesses located in areas with high unemployment in the award of Federal contracts.  The Labor Surplus Area Zip Code Reference file makes it possible to use the zip code in a firm's address as a way of determining LSA eligibility.  The US Department of Labor (DOL) supplied the list of LSAs used to prepare this file.  This list consists of areas classified as LSA's by DOL.  The automated source for zip code was the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 55 (FIPS PUB 55) dated February 2, 1982.  Its title is Codes for Named Populated Places and Related Entities of the States of the United States.  Data obtained from the FIPS PUB 55 is subject to the limitations stated in that document.  In addition, there was also a need for a manual source for zip codes, and the United States Postal Service Zip Code Directory for 1983 was used for that purpose.  This reference is only as accurate as the sources from which it was drawn.  Properly used, it can be a helpful tool in making LSA set-aside and subcontracting decisions.  Users are cautioned not to rely solely on the zip code in determining a firm's eligibility.  Zip codes and labor surplus areas do not always share the same boundaries.  For example, a zip code can include parts of two counties, one of which is classified as a LSA and one of which is not.  Therefore, it is possible hat a firm which has a zip code appearing in this reference may not actually be in an LSA.  In addition, a zip code may identify a businesses' headquarters offices which are located in an LSA, while the actual point of production or plant facility may or may not be in an LSA.  Therefore, this list should be used as a starting point in locating eligible LSA firms.  Businesses which have been identified by use of this list should be contacted to verify their LSA status.

* Producer Price Index:  1947 to Date (Updated Monthly) (PB82-948600/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The Producer Price Index (PPI) is a measure of price changes for goods sold in primary markets in the United States.  The universe for the PPI covers manufactured and processed goods and the output of industries classified as manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, gas and electricity, public utilities and goods competitive with those made in the producing sector, such as waste and scrap materials.  To the extent possible, the prices used in constructing the PPI are those that apply to the first significant commercial transaction in the United States.  The classification system follows commodity lines.  Products are grouped by similarity of end-use or material composition.  The PPI classification does not match any other standard classification.  BLS collects over 10,000 price quotations each month covering 2,700 commodities and commodity groups, most beginning in 1974 or earlier.  these data are obtained from reports submitted by individual producers supplemented with information appearing in trade publications or obtained through programs of other government agencies.

    The SOC provides a statistical classification system for occupations that should make statistics compiled by different agencies much more comparable, as the Standard Industrial Classification does for industries.  This 548-page Manual was developed to fill the need for a standard classification to be used in Federal and other programs in which occupational data were collected.  The SOC, with over 600 occupational groups, in four levels, is not expected to meet all the needs of all agencies but rather it is intended to be used as the framework which all surveys should use to provide comparability at some level with other occupational statistics.  The system includes all occupations in which work is performed for pay or profit including family members in family-operated businesses.  The SOC can be related to Dictionary of Occupational Titles, which was developed primarily for job placement and job analysis.

* Unemployment and Labor Force - State and Area:  1974 to Date (Updated Monthly) (PB82-948300/XDD) (See NTIS)
    Unemployment estimates for States and local areas are developed by State employment security agencies to measure local labor market conditions under a Federal-State cooperative program.  These estimates are derived from a variety of sources including unemployment insurance claims and ratios reflecting historical relationships between covered unemployment and covered employment, and between entrants into the labor force and the experienced unemployed and experienced labor force.  Monthly Unemployment and Labor Force series are available for approximately 5,600 geographic areas, including cities over 25,000 population, countries, SMSA's, States, and special administrative areas.  For each area, the following estimates are presented:  total civilian labor force, total number of people employed, total number of people unemployed, and unemployment rate.  These series begin in 1975 for State-wide data, 1979 for administrative areas, and 1975 for all other sub-State areas.

* Consumer Price Index:  1913 to Date (Updated Monthly) (PB82-948500/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a statistical measure of change, over time, of the prices of goods and services in major expenditure groups - such as food, housing, apparel, transportation, and health and recreation - typically purchased by urban consumers.  Essentially, it measures the purchasing power of consumers' dollars by comparing what a sample market basket of goods and services costs with what the same sample market basket cost at an earlier reference date.  This reference date is designated as the base period.  The revised CPI introduced by the BLS in 1978 includes indexes for two populations:  urban wage earners and clerical workers; and all urban consumers.  The urban wage earners and clerical workers index represents the buying habits of about 40 percent of the noninstitutional, civilian population.  The all urban consumers index covers about 80 percent of the population by including the following groups:  the self-employed; professional, managerial, and technical workers; short-term workers; the unemployed; retirees; and other not in the labor force.  US average indexes for both populations are available monthly for 357 consumer items and groups of items.  Indexes for both populations are available for 28 urban places for 64 items.  Regional indexes for both populations are available for four regions with about 100 items.  Five city-size indexes for both populations are available with 89 items and groups per class.

* Export and Import Price Indexes:  1970 to Date (Updated Quarterly) (PB82-948900/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The export price indexes measure price changes for products produced in the US and sold to residents of other countries.  The import price indexes measure changes in the prices paid by US residents for goods produced in other countries and imported into the US.  The products covered are concentrated in machinery and equipment, chemicals, crude materials, and some intermediate products.  Plans are to extend coverage to all major categories of US imports and exports in the next few years.  Price data are obtained directly from exporters and importers residing in the US and represent transaction pries in the third month of each calendar quarter for the products which are reported.  Export and import product samples yield quarterly price indexes publishable at the 4- and 5-digit level and higher level aggregates of the Standard International Trade Classification System, a product classification scheme developed by the United Nations.  Export and/or import price indexes, with a combined total of about 100 commodities, are available on a quarterly basis beginning in 1974.  Index series for June of each year covering the period before 1974 are available for most series.  Also available are over-the-quarter percent change series.

    BLS receives reports (IM-145) from the Bureau of the Census containing the value and quantity of imported commodities classified by the 7-digit Tariff Schedules of the United States Anisor Statis StatisStatisatis StatisStatisnotated (TSUSA).  These reports of customs values and quantities of imports are summarized to quarterly and annual measures on a TSUSA basis.  Beginning with statistics for 1978, the timing of the statistical month for recording imports was changed from the date of entry (DOE) - the date the documents were filed - to the date of importation (DOI) - the date the shipment actually entered the US.  Therefore, caution should be used in comparing current data with data for 1977 and prior years.

* Imports - Industrial Commodity Classes (1972 SIC):  1972 to Date (Updated Quarterly) (PB83-948700/XDD) (See NTIS)
    BLS receives reports (IM-145) from the Bureau of the Census containing the value and quantity of imported commodities classified by the Tariff Schedules of the United States Annotated (TSUSA).  These reports are summarized by customs value to quarterly and annual commodity measures on a 4-digit 1972 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) basis.  Value-based ratios of imports to new supply (US product shipments plus imports) are calculated annually for 4-digit SIC-based commodity import groups.  Beginning with statistics for 1978, the timing of the statistical month for recording imports was changed from the date of entry (DOE) - filing date of documents - to the date of importation (DOI) - date the shipment actually entered the United States.  Therefore, caution should be exercised in relating current data with data for 1977 and prior years.  The import industrial commodity classes survey, based on the 1972 SIC, has 414 quarterly and annual import value series on a 4-digit SIC basis, beginning in 1975.

    These surveys were part of a series of pretests conducted during the early 1970s to reveal problems associated with doing a nationwide study on victimization.  They were done to determine the most effective reference period to use when questioning respondents in order to gain the fullest and most reliable information, to measure the degree to which respondents move incidents occurring outside the reference period into that period when questioned, and to explore the possibility of identifying incidents by a few broad general questions as opposed to a series of more specific probing questions.

    In 1983 the National Prisoners Statistics program on admissions and releases (NPS) and the Uniform Parole Reports (UPR) were combined into one reporting system, the National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP).  The NCRP evolved from the need to improve and consolidate data on corrections at the national level.  Its objective is to provide a consistent and comprehensive description of prisoners entering and leaving the custody of supervision of state and federal authorities.  Thirty-four states reported data in 1984, an increase from the 30 that reported in 1983.  In addition to the states reporting, data from the Federal Prison System were added in 1984.  Data refer only to those prisoners admitted to prison, released from prison, or released from parole in 1984.

    The National Crime Surveys were designed by the Bureau of Justice Statistics to obtain detailed information about crime and its victims and consequences.  The data were collected by the US Bureau of the Census from 1972-1975 in 26 different cities.  Interviews were conducted with household members in each household sampled and detailed information about each household or personal victimization was recorded.  The data include type of crime, description of offender, severity of crime, injuries, or losses, and demographic characteristics of the household.  For each year, the data are organized by city into 39 separate data sets.  Each data set is hierarchically structured in three levels.  There are 43 variables for an average of 6,028 households, 38 variables for an average of 9,039 persons, and 199 variables for an average of 3,128 incidents per city per year.

This subset was created in order to provide users with a file which is easier to work with but which preserves the characteristics of the Cities Sample data.  In creating this person-level file, a full sample of victims and a ten percent sample of non-victims for up to four incidents was employed.  Thus, a maximum of four incidents per victim have been retained in the subset file; the remainder of the incidents were dropped from the file.  In the entire Cities sample, approximately 97% of the respondents in each quarter report four or fewer incidents.  These data are in a rectangular, or flattened, file so that for each incident retrieved for a respondent all of the variables in the incident record are repeated as many times as there are incidents.

    The National Crime Surveys were designed by the Bureau of Justice Statistics to obtain detailed information about crime, its victims, and consequences.  The data were collected by the United States Bureau of the Census using a national sample of households drawn with a stratified multistage cluster procedure.  Rotating subsamples were re-interviewed at six month intervals from 1973 to the present.  Interviews were conducted with each household member 12 years of age and older and detailed information about each household and personal victimization was recorded.  The data include type of crime, description of offender, severity of crime, injuries or losses, and demographic characteristics of household members and neighborhood.  The data are organized by collection quarter into 18 separate data sets.  Each data set is hierarchically structured into three levels.  There are 103 variables for an average of 35,000 households per quarter, 102 variables for an average of 65,000 persons per quarter, and 310 variables for an average of 8,000 incidents per quarter.

This subset is a person-level file that provides users with a file which is easier to handle but which preserves the characteristics of the National Sample data.  In generating this person-level file, a full sample of victims and a ten percent sample of non-victims for up to four incidents was employed.  Thus, a maximum of four incidents per victim has been retained in the subset file; the remainder of the incidents were dropped from the file.  In the complete National Sample file, the majority of victims report only one incident, and approximately 98% of the victims have had four or fewer incidents; there is, however, one respondent who has up to 21 reported incidents.  These data are in a rectangular, or flattened, file so that for each incident, retrieved for a respondent, all of the variables for incidents are repeated for as many incidents as occurred.  For respondents with fewer than four incidents, the incident record variables contain missing data when incidents did not occur.  There is one person-level subset file for each interview quarter of the complete National Sample, 1973-1980.  The person-level file is appropriate for the analysis of victims or personal victimization.  The data contain 935 variables.

    The Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts require the US Geological Survey and the US Bureau of Mines to survey certain area on Federal lands to determine their mineral resource potential.  The act provides that areas under consideration for wilderness designation be studied for suitability for incorporation into the wilderness system.  Results must be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress.  This report provides background data for a mineral survey of some national forest lands on western Chicagof and Yakobi Islands, southeastern Alaska, that are being considered for wilderness designation.  The area studied is within the Tongass National Forest, about 25 miles (40 km) northeast of the town of Sitka.  To assist with the evaluation of the mineral resources of the study area, a reconnaissance geochemical sampling program was conducted during 1978 and 1979.  This magnetic computer tape contains the analytic data for, and locations of, 2230 bedrock geochemical samples collected during this study.

* Oil-Yield Resources for Oil-Shale Sequences in Core from the Piceance Creek Basin, Colorado, that Average 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 Gallons per Ton (PB82-134883/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The Oil Shale Data Analysis Program developed by the US Geological Survey (Pitman and others, 1972) was designed primarily for the computation of resource estimates from Fischer assay and saline mineral data.  Recently, the program was revised by the addition of an algorithm that will compute more systematic and accurate resource values than were previously reported (Watts and VanTrump, 1976).  The data on the tape were generated from the algorithm, and consist of tables of oil-shale sequences that maintain specific average oil yields for oil-shale cores in the Piceance Creek Basin, Colorado.  Each file corresponds to one well core, and contains a 60 line/page formatted printout of these tables.  The tables consist of thickness value, and resource for oil-shale sequences that maintain an average oil yield of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 gallons per ton.  Excluded from averages are sequences of lean oil shale greater than 10 feet thick whose minimum oil yield is generally 15 gallons per ton or less.  The Fischer assay data used to generate these tables are on magnetic tape available through NTIS report PB-230 607/AS and (Pitman, 1981).  In addition to resource evaluation, these data should be useful for delineating minable zones of oil shale that maintain a certain thickness, grade, and resource.

* Puerto Rico Seismic Program. Seismological Data Report, July 1, 1975-December 31, 1977 (PB-296 549/9/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The purpose of this report is to compile and make available preliminary data acquired from the Puerto Rico Seismographic Network in order to facilitate current studies of earthquake occurrence.  Record interpretation, data processing, and collation of hypocenter data and related event parameters were performed by the US Geological Survey, Golden, Colorado.  Hypocenter solution data are given for all solved earthquakes and blasts, and hypocenter data for teleseisms and unsolved earthquakes are summarized.  Hypocenter solutions for local earthquakes are designated either "fixed depth solution" or "free depth solution" for all computations except those designated "probable blast," the dept is allowed to go free from the starting depth if the data are of sufficiently good quality; if not, the depth remains fixed at the starting value (15 km), the nominal depth for the specific source area, or the depth is fixed at the value yielding the best solution.  Teleseisms are designated "teleseismic solution."

* Geochemical Data in the Eastern Part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, 1972- 73 (PB-243 454/6/XDD) (See NTIS)
    A study in the Michigan part of the Army Map Service Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, US, Ontario, Canada, 2 degrees quadrangle evaluated geochemical analyses of soil samples from a glaciated region as an aid to finding target areas that have potential for ores of metals.  Most of the samples are soil from the upper 30 cm (12 in) of unconsolidated debris overlying bedrock, but some samples of bedrock, stream sediments, beach sands, peat, and mulch were analyzed.  Bedrock overburden ranges from none in areas of bedrock outcrops to as much as 133 m (436 ft) and is composed of clayey silt to fine sand of lacustrine origin clayey till to boulder till of glacier origin, sand to boulders of fluioglacial origin and recently formed peat and muck.  Analytical results indicate that soil samples from overburden of unknown thickness and composition in a glaciated region likely will not indicate target areas if overburden is more than 1 1/2 - 2 m (5-7 ft) thick.  This is especially true if overburden is clayey silt or clayey till.

    This survey provides data tables for use in estimating the size of waterfowl populations.  It uses a master file of aerial survey data collected each year in July.  It provides an index to the number of broods produced and the number of adult birds that are still on nesting territories.  Data on age class and number of young per brood are recorded to determine progress and success of the nesting season.  Information from this survey is most reliable for the most abundant and widely distributed species such as the mallard; it is less so for species of low abundance or for those species whose nesting range is partly outside the survey area.  Information is public, and questions will be answered for members of the general public.  Search requests are accepted through state agencies and University Land Grant Programs.

    Sponsored by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Annual Housing Survey (AHS) collects data every other year on the Nation's people and homes.  AHS interviews ask about age, sex, income, highrises, houses, mobile homes, vacant homes, etc.  Depending on the kind of home, the AHS queries homeowners about repairs and mortgages, recent movers about the home they left and why they moved, workers about their commute.  To help analyze changes over time, the national survey tapes from 1974-83 can be purchased either separately or merged, with the 9 years of data on each home linked together.  All tape prices include machine readable list of variable names and format statements.  The most current version of the data released by the Census Bureau and HUD is used to prepare orders, the files may therefore be updated from time to time.  The AHS Data Project, however, will not replace, free of charge, orders filled prior to the update.  Furthermore, neither the AHS Data Project nor Abt Associates certifies the accuracy of the data obtained from the Census Bureau.  Note:  Lower Density Tapes (800 or 1600 bpi) - per tape, $50.

* Puerto Rico Fertility and Family Planning Assessment, 1982 (PB85-209591/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The Puerto Rico Fertility and Family Planning Assessment (PRFFPA) was a multi-purpose island-wide social, demographic, and maternal/child health study of women 15-49 years of age living in Puerto Rico in 1982.  The PRFFPA is a data set designed for both social/demographic researchers and public health program administrators.  The PRFFPA is one of the few large-scale studies that has collected retrospective event-history data from reproductive age women.  Event-history data were collected on fertility, marriage, migration, education, and employment, and contraceptive use since 1978.  The data set also includes more detailed fertility and family planning information than has been previously available for Puerto Rico.  The new data in the PRFFPA include information on the planning status of each pregnancy event, women's intentions with regard to future births, prenatal care, birth weight, and contraceptive use by method and source at the health region level.  The tape contains two data files: (1) a Respondent File containing the data from the individual respondent questionnaires for the 3,175 women with completed interviews, and (2) a Household File containing the data for each of the 4,500 households that were in the sample.

    The National Cooperative Gallstone Study was a controlled clinical trial of the efficacy and safety of chenodiol for dissolution of cholesterol gallstones.  The tape contains four SAS data sets.  SAS (the Statistical Analysis System) is a software package provided by the SAS Institute, Inc. (Cary, NC) which includes a flexible data management facility and a variety of statistical procedures for the analysis of data.  The four data sets are named ANALYSIS, COVAR, F311, and RADIOL.  Although these data sets can be read using an IBM utility, it is recommended that the data sets be read using the statistical analysis system itself.  The advantage of a SAS file is that SAS maintains a directory of each variable on the file according to the assigned variable name, and variables may thus be referenced and documented by name rather than physical location in the data file.  The Statistical Analysis System is described by Barr, et al, SAS User's Guide, Cary, NC:  SAS Institute, Inc.; 1979.

    The National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) provides data on the utilization of non-Federal short-stay hospitals.  The NHDS is a continuous survey based on a sample of medical records of patients discharged from a national sample of these hospitals.  The survey obtains information on the patients' demographic characteristics (sex, date of birth, age, race, marital status), dates of admission and discharge, discharge status, diagnoses, procedures performed, expected source of payment, and hospital characteristics of bedsize, ownership, and region of the country.  The medical information is coded using the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM).  In 1981 about 226,000 medical records were sampled from the 428 hospitals participating in the survey.  This sample represents approximately 0.6 percent of the estimated 38 million discharges in 1981.

* National Natality Surveys, 1964-66, 1967-69, and 1972
     All of the surveys in this group are called "followback" surveys because they follow back one or more informants identified on vital records.  There are three National Natality Surveys (NNS's) which cover births to married women in the years 1964-66, 1967-69, and 1972.  The 1964-66 NNS includes such topics as pregnancy history, birth expectations, family composition, employment status, health insurance coverage, and selected socioeconomic variables.  In the 1967-69 NNS, several new variables were introduced, including additional items relative to employment of the mother, religious preference, prenatal and postnatal care, and cigarette smoking.  In 1968 and 1969 a variable was added on whether or not the mother had wanted to become pregnant with the sample child.  The 1972 NNS is similar in content to the 1964-66 NNS and 1967-69 NNS but does not include items on employment status, religious preference, or cigarette smoking.  However, the 1972 NNS includes new data on maternal and infant health available from questionnaires sent to physicians and hospitals.  NCHS Contact:  Natality Statistics Branch, [phone].

* National Natality Survey and National Fetal Mortality Survey
     In the 1980 National Natality Survey and 1980 National Fetal Mortality Survey (NNS/NFMS), four groups associated with the sampled deliveries-married mothers, hospitals, attendants at delivery, and other medical providers of radiation during pregnancy-responded to questionnaires.  The medical data were collected for married and unmarried mothers in the NNS/NFMS.  The 1980 NNS and NFMS are only available on one combined tape, and cannot be purchased separately.  A list of over 100 papers or reports utilizing the data is available from the Natality Statistics Branch.  These findings include electronic fetal monitoring in relation to cesarean section delivery, trends in maternal and infant health factors associated with low infant birth weight, radiation procedures performed during pregnancy, infant health consequences of childbearing by teenagers and older mothers, social and clinical correlates of postpartum sterilization, and maternal smoking and drinking behavior before and during pregnancy.  Certain additional infant mortality information obtained from the National Death Index is not on the public use tape, but is available through the Natality Statistics Branch.

* National Nursing Home Survey, 1969, 1973-74, and 1977
     The National Nursing Home Survey (NNHS) is a continuing series of national sample surveys of nursing homes, their residents, and their staff.  To date, three nursing home surveys have been conducted, the first in 1973-74, the second in 1977, and the third in 1985.  These three surveys were preceded by a series of surveys between 1963 and 1969 which were called the "resident places" surveys.  While each of these past surveys emphasized different topics, they all provided some common basic information about nursing homes, their residents, and their staff.  The two most recent surveys, 1985 and 1977, were similar in scope in that they both included nursing care homes, personal care homes (with and without nursing), and domiciliary care homes.  These surveys represent a broadening in scope over that of the 1973-74 survey which excluded facilities providing only personal care or domiciliary are.  However, because personal and domiciliary care homes constitute such a small proportion of the 1977 and 1985 surveys, no special adjustments need to be made when comparing the three surveys.  Besides providing national estimates of nursing homes, the 1977 NNHS was supplemented with additional nursing homes to provide reliable estimates for selected States.  The States for which estimates are available (California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas) cover one-third of the nursing home population.  Data from the three previous surveys of nursing homes, conducted during May through December 1977, August 1973 through April 1974, and June through August 1969, are also available.  The data were sampled using a stratified two-stage probability design.  The first stage was a selection of facilities; the second was a selection of residents and employees of the sample facilities.  In the 1985 survey, only registered nurses were sampled.  The sampling frame for residents was the total number of residents on the register of the facility on the evening prior to the day of the survey.  The sampling frame for employees was the list of all staff members including those employed by contract.  Only staff members involved in direct patient care (administrative, medical, therapeutic, and nursing staff) were sampled.  Survey data were collected using a combination of personal interview and self-enumerated forms.  Additional information about both current and discharged residents was obtained in a telephone interview with a relative.  The 1985 and 1977 NNHS differed from previous surveys by the inclusion of an additional sample of discharges from the nursing home during the preceding year.  The sample of discharges (both alive and dead) was included in the NNHS to provide information on duration of stay in nursing homes and the characteristics of persons spending a relatively short time in the facility.

* National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, Drug Mentions, 1980-81, and 1985
     The "drug tape" is a collection of data concerning only those office visits where one or more medications were ordered, administered, or provided.  Data are arranged by drug record, one for each drug mentioned or entered on the encounter forms.  A single office visit in 1985 could have up to five drugs mentioned on the encounter form, and thus have up to five separate records on the drug tape.  On the other hand, if there were no drugs mentioned on the encounter form for a particular visit there will be no record on the drug tape for that office visit.  Each drug record is a complete description of the office visit containing all the items in the following summary, including the statistical weight for inflating the drug mention sample to reflect (drug) annual utilization in private office-based practice in the United States.  All data on the tape are in EBCDIC code.  Each data tape package contains one tape volume and the necessary documentation.  NCHS Contact:  Ray Gagnon, [phone].

* National Family Planning Reporting System
    The National Center for Health Statistics maintains a computer file of the 1980 sample survey called the National Reporting System for Family Planning Services (NRSFPS).  The NRSFPS covers all family planning visits to nonmilitary sites in the United States and some of its territories that offer medical family planning services.  Begun in 1972, the NRSFPS collected data on visits to family planning service sites in the United States and some of its territories.  From 1972 through June 1977, the survey was conducted as a complete enumeration, collecting information for every family planning visit at every participating site.  From July 1, 1977, through 1980, however, the system was conducted as a sample survey.  The data tape of the NRSFPS includes medical family planning visits occurring in nonmilitary clinics.

* National Health Interview Survey, 1969-86
    The National Health Interview Survey is a continuing nationwide survey of the US civilian non-institutionalized population conducted in households.  Information is obtained on the number of restricted-activity days, bed days, work- or school-loss days, and all physician visits occurring during the 2-week period prior to the week of the interview.  Data are also obtained on the acute and chronic conditions that were responsible for these days or visits.  Respondents are asked about long-term limitation of activity and the chronic conditions related to this disability.  All conditions are coded according to the International Classification of Diseases, using the limited diagnostic detail available from a household respondent.  Data are obtained on all hospital episodes during the prior 12 months, including length of stay and whether or not surgery was performed.

* First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1971-75
     The first NHANES program (NHANES I) was conducted from 1971-75 on a sample of the US population aged 1-74 years.  (Unlike the previous NHES cycles, NHANES includes a very wide age range in each program.) Four different kinds of data were collected to make this nutritional assessment:  (1) dietary intake information, (2) hematological and biochemical tests, (3) body measurements, and (4) clinical assessments.  Some limited information on general health status, health care needs, and treatment was also obtained.  The information included examination findings and medical history on eye conditions, skin conditions, and dental health.  Further data on health status and medical care needs were obtained through more detailed examinations and history for a subsample of adults aged 25-74 years.  Particular consideration was given to cardiovascular, respiratory, arthritic, and auditory conditions.

* NHANES I Epidemiologic Followup Study, 1982-84
     The NHANES I Epidemiologic Followup Study 1982-84 (NHEFS) was jointly initiated by the National Center for Health Statistics and the National Institute on Aging in collaboration with other National Institutes of Health and Public Health Service agencies.  The primary purpose of the followup study is to investigate the relationships between physiological, nutritional, behavioral, and demographic characteristics collected at the NHANES I interview (1971-75) and subsequent morbidity or mortality from specific diseases and conditions.  The followup study was conducted between the years 1982 and 1984.  The study population included the 14,407 persons aged 25-74 years at the time of the NHANES I survey.  Tracing was successfully completed on 93 percent of the cohort.  Personal interviews including weight, pulse, and blood pressure, measurements were conducted with traced, surviving subjects.  Interviews with proxy respondents were conducted if the subject was deceased or incapacitated.  Hospital and nursing home records were collected for all subjects and death certificates were obtained for decedents.  NCHS Contact:  Christine S. Cox, [phone].

* Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1976-80
     In NHANES II, examinations were conducted from February 1976 through February 1980.  Because much of the content of NHANES II was planned to be identical to that of NHANES I, data from this later survey provide the first look at change in the health and nutrition status of the population over time.  Additional tests and procedures were also included to provide data on diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, hypertension, certain allergies, disk degeneration, pulmonary function, and hearing and speech problems.

* National Hospital Discharge Survey, 1970-86
     The National Hospital Discharge Survey is a continuous nationwide survey of inpatient utilization of short-stay hospitals.  Survey data are abstracted from the face sheets of sampled medical records of inpatients discharged from a national sample of non-Federal short-stay hospitals.  Medical record data include age, sex, race, marital status, expected source of payment (1977 on), discharge status, admission and discharge dates, and length of stay for discharged patients.  Hospital characteristic include region of the country, bedsize, and type of ownership.  Diagnostic data include up to five diagnoses per patient from 1970-78, and up to seven diagnoses after 1978.  Data on procedures include a maximum of three procedures per patient from 1970-78 and up to four procedures after 1978.  From 1970 to 1978 diagnoses and procedures were coded according to the Eighth Revision International Classification of Diseases, Adapted for Use in the United States (ICDA), with certain modifications.  Beginning in 1979, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) was used to code diagnoses and procedures.  NCHS Contact:  Robert Pokras, [phone].

* ICD-9-CM Adjunct Materials - Codes and Abbreviated Titles (PB82-186057/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The ICD-9-CM sex-specific codes with abbreviated titles magnetic tape provides the abbreviated titles for each sex-specific code in the published Tabular Lists of ICD-9-CM, Volume 1, Diseases and Volume 3, Procedures.  Sex-specific means that they are to be used only for females or only for males.  Use of this tape will allow simple edits to prevent use of erroneous data, e.g., females having male-specific diagnoses or procedures, or vice versa.  Abbreviated titles contain up to 24 alphabetic characters in the form of shortened words.  A particular shortened word may refer to more than one full nomenclature word, e.g., def = defect, deficiency, deformity.  Conversely, one nomenclature word may be referred to by similar shortened words containing a variable number of characters, e.g., lac, lacerat, lacer = laceration.  Individual abbreviations must be interpreted only in the context of the titles in which they appear.  This tape also contains the procedure classes as defined by the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set.  Valid disease codes may be 3, 4, or 5 digits in length.  Valid procedure codes may be 3 or 4 digits in length.  Footnote references are used (1) to identify titles that should not be used since the code is further divided and (2) to identify inapplicable codes where application of fifth digits to a series of categories results in illogical titles.

* ICD-9-CM Adjunct Materials - Diagnosis Conversion Table ICD-9-CM to ICDA-8 (PB82-179284/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The ICD-9-CM to ICDA-8 Diagnosis Table magnetic tape provides for the conversion of diagnostic information recorded in ICD-9-CM rubrics to the equivalent rubrics in ICDA-8.  The greater specificity of ICD-9-CM does not permit a reverse conversion.  The Conversion Table lists only "valid" codes in both classifications.  The codes are sequenced according to the ICD-9-CM code.  Valid diagnosis codes for ICD-9-CM may be 3, 4, or 5 digits in length.  Valid diagnosis codes for ICDA-8 may be 3 or 4 digits in length.  The majority of ICD-9-CM codes will convert to a single ICDA-8 code.  In some cases, two ICDA-8 codes are required for accurate conversion from ICD-9-CM because the ICD-9-CM code contains more information than is present in the equivalent ICDA_8 code - sometimes an exact conversion is not possible and the choice of the most likely equivalent must be made.  This tape also includes four appendices which address the problem areas and give the results of the arbitration process employed in creation of the tables.

There are footnote references for these areas in ICD-9 where provision is made for optional use of fifth digits.  (These fifth digits are mandatory in ICD-9-CM).  An additional footnote is used with ICD-9-CM code E 849.  This code is unique to ICD-9-CM; it does not appear in ICD-9.  All valid ICD-9-CM codes are listed in the Conversion Tables.  There were no codes that did not convert.

    The Diabetic Retinopathy Study (DRS) was a multicenter clinical trail to evaluate the efficacy of photocoagulation, (argon laser and xenon arc) in the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.  This randomized, controlled study involved 1,758 patients enrolled at 15 medical centers.  Photocoagulation with either argon laser of xenon arc, as used in the study, was found to be effective in reducing the risk of severe visual loss and in inhibiting the progression of retinopathy.  These effects were apparent in all stages of diabetic retinopathy studied:  proliferative, severe nonproliferative, and background.  also found were some deleterious effects of treatment, namely small losses of visual acuity and constriction of the peripheral visual field.  The accompanying tape contains eight data sets produced by the DRS Coordinating Center.  The first four data sets contain, in order, information from the (1) eye examinations, (2) medical examinations, (3) fundus photographs, and (4) treatment specifications.  The second four data sets contain Fortran language programs to produce printouts for each patient - there is one program for each of the four information files.

    ADAMHA, ASPE, and HCFA staff recently completed collaborative work to resolve questions raised concerning the grouping of Medicare cases in MDC 20 (alcohol and drug abuse services).  The methodology used to collect the data for the project, having the hospital xerox and mail in select portions of the medical record, proved to be highly successful.  The data provided the basis for the analysis done by ASPE and replicated by HCFA, and was instrumental in restructuring the MDC 20 DRGs and removing the exemption from the Prospective Payment System (PPS) for alcohol and drug abuse providers.  The tape includes data collected and abstracted from the medical records of participating providers, MEDPAR data for FY 1984, Provider of Service data for 1985, and select data from the American Hospital Association (AHA) for 1985.

    The US Department of Health and Human Services initiated this survey to demonstrate and evaluate the cost savings and effectiveness of channeling community-based long-term care services to the frail elderly through a case management approach.  The goal of case management is to coordinate and direct community, medical, and informal long-term care services to the frail elderly as an alternative to institutionalization.  The four main areas of evaluation are:  (1) the use of hospitals, nursing homes, and other formal medical services, (2) public and private expenditures on formal community services including case-management, housing, and income transfers, (3) informal care by family and friends, and (4) individual outcomes, including quality of life, physical functioning, unmet service needs, and mortality of the elderly sample members.

    Interline is an interactive program designed to simulate routing practices on the US rail system.  Because the rail industry is divided into a large number of independent competing companies, Interline divides the US rail network into 95 separate subnetworks to better simulate the routing practices of an individual company.  An important element of the data base is a file indicating where traffic may move from one rail line to another.  This information is important because transfers between railroads involve additional cost and delay.  The data base assigns penalties to these transfer points to replicate the tendency to keep traffic on a single railroad's lines when possible.

    The data for the Ethnic Minority IQ file was collected primarily from individual student records in schools and boards of education in communities across the country.  Some of the data items collected were sex, date of birth, ethnicity of student and of father and mother, student test data, and father and mother's birthplace and occupation.  Among general problems associated with collecting thedata were (1) determining of the ethnicity of the students where such data were not available in the school records, (2) selecting among IQ scores where several were available, and (3) determining the occupational category of the student's parents from their job descriptions, where the latter were available.  These problems were resolved and are discussed in a paper made available with the data file.

* AMRL Anthropometric Data Bank Library, Volume IV, 1950 Survey of USAF Flying Personnel (AD-A056 157/1/XDD) (See NTIS)
    An anthropometric study of flying personnel was conducted in 1950 at 14 Air Force bases in MA, MI, CO, WA, CA, TX, and LA.  The original statistical analyses were the initial activity of the Anthropology Research Project.  The results, reported in TR-52-321, were carried out prior to the availability of modern computer facilities; since publication of that report, the data have been modernized.  Millimeter figures for most variables originally recorded but not punched were incorporated into the data.  This tape includes data for 4000 subjects and 161 variables, variables 1-132 are body size values, 133 is age, 134-146 are somatotype ratings (those listed as somatotype are ratings done by Dupertuis using Sheldons method).  A statistical comparison of the body typing methods of Hooton and Sheldon is provided in SADC TR 56-366 (AD-097 205).  The contents of this tape are also described along with Volumes I-III and Volume V of the AMRL Anthropometric Data Bank Library in the report The AMRL Anthropometric Data Bank Library: Volume 1-V, AMRL-TR-77-1, October 1977.

    The Planetary Image Videodisc is an analog-encoded optical disc containing more than 100,000 black and white images of Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter taken during the Mariner, Viking, and Voyager planetary missions.  An equivalent number of 8- x 10-in. photographs would require nearly 300 cubic feet of storage space (14 cabinets containing 666 binders).  More than a year of effort went into organizing, labelling, and photographing the individual images on 35-mm film.  The film was transferred to videotape, then a master videodisc was produced, and copies for distribution were made.  The disc represents the first full-scale use of videodisc technology for storage and retrieval of an image archive and a significant step toward our ultimate goal of widespread dissemination of space science data to both the scientific and educational communities.  The disc can be played on Laser Disc Players made by Sony, Discovision, Pioneer, and Magnavox.

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced revised definitions of the nation's metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) effective June 30, 1983.  Based on demographic data derived from the 1980 decennial census, a comprehensive review was undertaken by the Federal Committee on MSAs, which advises OMB on MSA matters.  The previous term "Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA)" has been shortened to "Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)".  Under the new standards, an area qualifies for recognition as an MSA in one of two ways: if there is a city of at least 50,000 population, or an urbanized area of at least 50,000 with a total metropolitan population of at least 100,000.  If an area has more than 1 million population and meets certain other specified requirements, it now will bed termed a 'Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area' (CMSA), consisting of major components recognized as 'Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas' (PMSAs).  A total of 257 MSAs are recognized.  In addition, there are 23 CMSAs, consisting of 78 PMSAs.  This tape contains computer files documenting titles, components and Federal Information Processing standards (FIPS) codes for Metropolitan Statistical Areas and related statistical areas.

    The Pacific Northwest Laboratory, Battelle Memorial Institute, Richland, Washington integrated regional wind resource assessment data into a computerized data base in 1981-1982.  Through the application of various techniques, wind data from 975 selected stations were converted into resource assessment estimates of wind power class at exposed sites.  The major source of wind data that went into the resource assessments was NCDC's digital file TD-3280.  Analyses of each stations's data were performed on each period of record during which the anemometer height, anemometer location, and frequency of observation remained constant.  Data are variable records for each station during the period January 1, 1948 through December 31, 1978.  Copies are available on magnetic tape.

    This World Wide Consolidated Tropical Cyclone data file, which was derived from many data sources, contains storm data for 6 separate ocean basins.  The sources used different definitions, analysis techniques, and periods of record.  Conflicts occurred in comparing the same storm from two different sources; some duplicate tracks varied only slightly in movement while others varied by several degrees.  Judgments were made as to which intensity to code when the intensity varied between data sources.  A few duplicate storms will appear in the data because they varied enough between sources so that they could not be detected as one storm.  Some storms were never detected or reported during the earlier years.  The major parameters that make up this file for each ocean basin are constructed; sequential number of the storm, time, location, highest stage of storm, direction, and speed of movement, type of movement, maximum wind speed, and source of data.  Data are from January 1871 through December 1982 (updated periodically).  Copies are available on magnetic tape.  For more information, including cost, contact the office above.

    This tape contains data on the physical operating performance and market characteristics of light trucks for the model years 1955-1977.  Information was collected from published and unpublished sources with extrapolation and correlations being made when raw data was unavailable.  Vehicles are reported by model year and grouped by manufacturer, using production volume, model, body type, engine displacement, transmission and GVWR class attributes as criteria to select representative vehicle configurations.  Models which are essentially duplicated by more than one division of a manufacturer - i.e., Chevrolet C-10 and GMC C-1500 - are represented by attributes of only one of the duplicate models.  Production volume for both models is then combined.  Characteristics are documented for vehicles representative of total US sales of domestic and imported light trucks for the model years indicated.

    Tidal Zoning is a category of tide data that provides the tidal corrections for predicting height and time over large areas of US and Caribbean coastal and Continental Shelf waters.  Tidal corrections, in the form of time differences in minutes and tide height factors, determined by historical tidal characteristics and comparing observed tide data which has been related to the 19-year Metonic cycle.  These corrections when applied to the tide predictions for a control tide station determine the predicted time and height of tides over the area.  Computations based on tide behavior at tide station locations are prepared by the National Ocean Service on request and prices are quoted on a case by case basis.

    Federal Building
    Asheville, NC  28801-2969     [phone]
    Since 1931, each monthly average temperature within a climate division has been calculated by giving equal weight to each station reporting both temperature and precipitation within a division.  In the US, observers at cooperative stations often take one observation per day and the ending time of the climatological day at any station can vary from station to station as well as year-to-year.  Differences of the 24-hour period over which each observer reports his maximum and minimum temperatures as well as the average temperature [(max + min)/2] affects the calculated monthly mean temperature.  The major parameters that make up this file are sequential "time biased corrected" State Climatic Division monthly average temperatures, precipitation, and Palmer Drought Indices.  Data are from January 1931 through December 1985.  Copies are available on magnetic tape.  For more information, including cost, contact the office above.

Best tracks are constructed by the National Weather Service, National Hurricane Center during post-analysis and all available information including aircraft reconnaissance fixes, satellite imagery, land based radar fixes, ship reports, station reports, and ocean buoy reports, are considered.  Duplications and some discrepancies are found by the analyst and subjective interpretations are made and then smoothed to draw the "best tracks."  The tracks are then digitized into three record images for each storm; Title record, Data record, and Storm Classification record.  The major parameters that make up this file include; time, number of days the storm lasted, storm identification and position, and wind speed.  Data are from the: Eastern Pacific January 1949 through December 1980; Northwest Pacific January 2946 through December 1983; Northeast Pacific January 1949 through December 1985; North Atlantic January 1886 through December 1985 (updated periodically).

    Summarized data were extracted from surface synoptic weather observations exchanged on the Global Telecommunications System (GTS) that are received by the National Meteorological Center.  An automated decode of daily maximum and minimum temperatures and accumulated precipitation is performed according to the World Meteorological code manuals.  All data are summarized on a Greenwich Mean (GMT) time basis to current operational requirements related to the assessment of crop and energy production.  No attempt is made to convert reports to local time.  If the maximum or minimum temperatures are not reported, they are estimated from reported air temperatures in the regular synoptic reports when sufficient data exists.  Accumulated precipitation or extreme temperatures reported on a particular GMT date will be stored and summarized for that date even though they actually occurred on the previous GMT date.  The major parameters that make up this file include time, station location, station identification, 24 hour maximum and minimum temperatures, 24 hour precipitation, weather, monthly mean temperature, monthly extreme precipitation, snowfall and snow depth, and water equivalent of snow or ice.

    The grid points used in the SOWM are based on an icosahedralgnomic projection.  The icosahedron is oriented around the globe so as to minimize the number of faces required to cover the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.  Therefore, the poles of the projection do not correspond to the poles on the globe.  Also, the direction that corresponds with North on each face will not coincide with North on the globe.  Local North on the faces of the projection is perpendicular to one of the sides of each face.  Each face of the projection contains 325 grid points.

    The World Data Center-A for Glaciology [Snow and Ice] (WDC), University of Colorado, Boulder has completed development of a data set containing Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) data covering both polar regions.  This data product was extracted from the complete orbital data set.  The Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) is one of several sensor packages on NIMBUS 7.  This satellite was launched 23 October 1978; the SMMR failed in August 1987.  The SMMR package consists of a ten-channel microwave radiometer producing polarized antenna temperatures at 6.6, 10.7, 18.0, 21.0, and 37.0 GHz for both horizontal and vertical polarizations.  Geophysical parameters are calculated by algorithms using brightness temperature from the different frequencies.  These parameters include sea ice concentration and multi-year ice fraction.  The data set consists of individual cryospheric parameters for regions north of 30 degrees North and south of 50 degrees South latitudes.  The data are available in orbital and mapped format.  The temporal coverage for each format varies:  daily orbital data; 4-day integrated mapped data (2 data days per 3-4 calendar days); and monthly averages of sea ice concentration only.  Currently only two years of data, October 1978 - November 1980, are available in this format.  The data output is on magnetic tape.

    The National Meteorological Center uses binary packed data set organization when storing gridded data files.  Different grid sizes are available (octagonal mercator and polar sterographic) for both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.  This binary format is used for storage of arrays of data, of typically gridded fields.  In this format, fullword (32 bit 360/195) floating numbers are scaled and stored as halfword (16 bit) integers.  The first 12 fullwords (48 bytes or 384 bits) of this format are the label portion, which services two purposes:  1) it uniquely identifies the data field so that it can be retrieved from the data set where it is stored, and 2) it contains the count and scaling information so that the data, which is stored in the remainder of the format, may be unpacked and converted back to a field of floating numbers.  Data are from January 1, 1973 through the present (updated weekly).  Copies are available on magnetic tape.  For more information, including cost, contact the office above.

    NSRDS contains data bases of evaluated physical and chemical properties of substances.  The system supports NBS' responsibility to promote numerical data in the physical sciences.  The evaluations are carried out through a national network of 22 NSRDS Centers and special projects conducted by universities, government laboratories and industry.  Each center is responsible for a well-defined technical scope and for compiling a comprehensive indexed bibliographic file with analyses of the world literature within its scope.  The Centers assess the accuracy of the data reported in the literature, prepare compilations and recommend best values.  The resulting bibliographic and numeric physical, chemical and property data bases are then made available through publications, magnetic tapes and online systems.  The Center's activities are aggregated into three application-oriented program areas:  1) Energy and Environmental Data, which includes data from fields such as chemical kinetics, spectroscopy, and radiation physics and chemistry which have application to energy-related R&D and environmental modeling; 2) Industrial Process Data, which covers primarily thermodynamic and transport properties of substances important to the chemical and related industries; and 3) Materials Properties Data, which includes structural, electrical, optical and mechanical properties of solid materials of broad interest.  Information about searches, printouts, publications and tapes is available from NSRDS' Gaithersburg Office.  Searches are also available from the 22 Centers listed below.

    Normals for National Weather Service Offices and Principal Climatological Offices are computed by simply averaging the values from the 1931-1960, 1941-1970, and 1951-1980 records, if no exposure changes occurred at the station.  Since it is not possible to maintain a multi-purpose network of meteorological stations without having some exposure changes, it is first necessary to identify periods of heterogeneity.  After the periods have been determined, adjustments are applied to correct the heterogeneities in the record.  This is done by comparing the record at the station for which the normal is desired to the record at a supplementary station with a homogenous record.  The difference method is used to adjust the monthly average maximum and minimum temperatures.  The normal is the weighted average of the various partial means of the adjusted record.  The major parameters that are included in this file are monthly and annual 30-year normals of temperature.  Data are from January 1931-December 1960; January 1941-December 1970; and January 1951-December 1980.  Copies are available on magnetic tape.

    Most of these data were originally collected by the Bureau of the Census and published as general industry statistics every five years in the Census of Manufactures or during intervening years in the Annual Survey of Manufactures.  The OBA industry profile data differ from the published Census data for those cases where industry definitions were changed in 1963, 1967, 1972, or 1977.  All industries in the OBA data base are defined using the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), except for 1987 data which currently is on a 1987 basis (this anomaly will be corrected in 1990).  Data for industries affected by one or more SIC revisions were reallocated to create new industry statistics which reflect the 1972 industry definitions as closely as possible.  The trade statistics are from Commerce's International Trade Administration which converted original Census trade data to an SIC product basis.
    The twelve general statistics are total number of wage and salary workers, total payroll, number of full and part-time production workers, production worker hours, cost of materials, value added, value of industry shipments, end-of-year inventories, new capital expenditures, value of exports, value of imports.

    The primary sources used to construct this file were TD-3220 Summary of the Month COOP Element File and TD-9658 Palmer Drought file.  The Palmer model was calibrated over the period 1931-1983, and its input consisted of monthly mean temperatures and total precipitation for each of the 344 state climatic divisions.  Prior to 1931, divisional averages of temperatures and estimates of total monthly precipitation were obtained by a series of regression equations relating statewide monthly temperature and precipitation to divisional values.  Historical Climatology Series 6-1 describes the procedures in detail.  Data prior to 1931 should be treated as estimates within each climatic division.  Large-scale patterns should be fairly well represented during this time period, but details within a state will be smoothed by the regression estimates.  Data are from 1931-1980 monthly normals (updated decennially); 1931-1983 monthly averages (updated annually); and 1895-1983 monthly drought indices (updated annually).

    The file provides computerized representations of the Metropolitan Map Series (MMS) and includes streets; address ranges; and zip, place and other geographic codes.  GBF/DIME-Files are used to assign census geographic codes to addresses (geocoding), and the digitized versions can be used for computer mapping.  Undigitized versions were released for all covered SMSA's, but they have been superseded by digitized versions.  The files are digitized by determining x, y coordinate values for each node point (usually street intersections) and inserting them into the files.  Coordinates are expressed in terms of latitude and longitude as well as the State plane coordinate system.  The files are issued by SMSA and vary in size between 3,000 and 226,000 records.  Each record identifies a segment of a feature on a map by its node points, address ranges, and associated geographic codes (block, census tract, zip, place, minor civil division or census county division, county, and State).  Features represented are streets and non-street map features, such as railroads, streams, and political boundaries.  Node points identify the intersections or terminations of these features.  The geographic areas covered are urbanized core of 278 standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's) for which files were developed or updated for the 1980 census as of late 1978.  Availability:  One tape reel at 1600 or 6250 bpi per SMSA, with the exception of the Chicago, IL SMSA; Dallas-Fort Worth, TX SMSA; Detroit, MI SMSA; Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA SMSA; New York, NY-NJ SMSA; Philadelphia, PA-NJ SMSA; and San Francisco-Oakland, CA SMSA - these require 2 tape reels at 1600 bpi or 1 tape reel at 6250 bpi each.

Thom allows the properly adjusted mean temperature normals to be converted to degree day normals with uniform consistency.  In some cases, this procedure will yield degree day values that are unexpected.  These cases are not statistically significant and occur when the standard deviations are computed from a mixed distribution, such as the transition months.  Data are from January 1941-December 1970; January 1951-December 1980.  Copies are available on magnetic tape.  For more information, including cost, contact the office above.

    BEA maintains a system of indicators to track business cycles.  The system features the composite indexes of leading, coincident, and lagging indicators.  The composite indexes were revised as of the release of January 1989 data in March 1989.  The revision incorporated changes in components, changes in methodology for computing the indexes, and updated statistical factors and historical revisions in data.  The data base includes series classified as cyclical indicators (because they conform well to broad fluctuations in economic activity), as well as other series useful in interpreting the economic situation and outlook.  Each month a preliminary value of the composite indexes are recalculated to incorporate historical revisions in component data.  A recorded telephone message at [phone] provides current data for the composite indexes (and the leading index components) immediately upon their release.  The message is updated weekly, usually on Monday, to include recently available component data that will be incorporated into the next release.

* Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (NFCS) 1977-78, Food Codes (Rel.1) Linked to 1985 Nutrient Data (Rel. 2) (PB87-142451/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The Release 1- and 2-Linked Data Base was developed as a supplement to Release No. 1 of the Nutrient Data Base for the USDA Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (NFCS) 1977-78.  Data for the food codes of 1977-78 NFCS are present for food energy and the 28 food components listed in the format description below.  The data base contains the 1977-78 food codes assigned to the 1985 nutrient values based on the nutrient data base developed for use in the Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals, Release 2.  The nutrient values were derived by matching the food items in the 1977-78 NFCS to the identical or most similar 1985 CSFII food items and linking the appropriate 7-digit food codes.  The purpose of Release 1- and 2-Linked Data Base is to allow use of the 1977-78 NFCS food code system with nutrient values appropriate for 1985.  Because the nutrient values are appropriate for 1985, reanalysis of dietary intake data collected before 1985 using the data base must be carefully interpreted.  Since 1977-78, new foods have been introduced on the market and the nutrient value of foods has changed as a result of changes in enrichment, fortification, reformulation, etc.  An administrative report on the effect of updated nutrient composition data on nutrient levels of reported dietary intakes from 1977-78 NFCS will be available from HNIS in 1987.

* Food Consumption Files Used in the Tolerance Assessment System (TAS) (PB87-142352/XDD) (See NTIS)
    The Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) of the US Environmental Protection Agency has the responsibility for regulation of the application of pesticides to raw agricultural commodities (RACs).  The decision as to whether or not to permit the use of a particular chemical is based, in part, upon exposure analyses that combine information about predicted residues in food with food consumption data to produce an estimate of exposure.  The Tolerance Assessment System (TAS) is an automated system designed by Research Triangle Institute (RTI) to support OPP's decision-making process.  The accompanying tape files represent the food consumption data files employed in the TAS exposure analyses.  The Nationwide Food Consumption Survey of 1977-78, conducted by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) was selected as the primary source of food consumption information.  These data, which constituted a probability sample of US households in the 48 contiguous states and which involved 3-day food consumption records for some 30,770 individuals, were used to compute daily food-form consumption estimates (adjusted for body weight) for a total of 87,668 person-days.  Various aggregations and/or averages of these data were performed to create the seven analysis data files used in the TAS exposure analyses.

* Annual Statistical Report of REA-Electric Distribution Borrowers (1972) (PB-224 076/0/XDD) (See NTIS)
    An annual report contains financial and statistical information about the operations of REA electric borrowers individually and as a group.  The report also presents separate summary data on cooperative borrowers.  Data in the report are on a calendar year basis, since most borrowers close their books on December 31.  About 94% of the borrowers are private business corporations.  Their detailed financial statements and operating reports generally are not matters of public record.  If more details than given in the report are desired, requests should be submitted directly to individual borrowers.  Additional data on borrowers which are not cooperatives are included in Federal Power Commission annual reports.  The revenue and expense statistics for each borrower show the year's financial operations.  The trend of a borrower's operations can be observed by comparing data in this report with that in previous annual reports.  Statistics relating to principal and interest payments to REA are cumulative from the time the borrower obtained an REA loan.  The calculations of interest and principal due the government reflect the following:  The payment schedule originally established for each borrower; changes in the original repayment and interest schedules through (a) reduction in interest rate and extension of amortization periods, pursuant to the 1944 amendments to the Rural Electrification Act; and (b) any extensions in the time of payment of interest or principal that may have been approved pursuant to Section 12 of the Act; and notes paid in full ahead of schedule, are shown as due and paid in the full amount.  All data on operations of borrowers' systems are based on reports submitted by borrowers and are subject to possible revision as the result of future audits and adjustments.
