As of January 1, 1997 all Standard Industrial Classification System (SIC) data used by the Forest Service (FS) must be reported using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). In an effort to make the transition as easy as possible, a conversion program was developed at the Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) for the timber-based SIC industries (Major Groups 24, 25 and 26). This program converts 2 and 4-digit SIC industry data from the 1992 Census of Manufactures and the 1993 through 1995 Annual Surveys of Manufacture to their respective NAICS industries, and also estimates entire NAICS industries based on their included SIC industries.

The conversion program is available in either Lotus 123r4.01 or Corel Quattro Pro 6.03 for Windows 3.1, and may be downloaded below. Please note that the program files are zipped Pkware, Inc. files.

To learn more about the program, or how the industry data were estimated, please see the introduction at the beginning of the program file, or send an email message to the authors. Additional information on the North American Industrial Classification System is available at the NAICS Homepage.
