1 Beginning in 1994, data for laser equipment, instrumentation, and components have been eliminated from this survey. Only laser sources are being collected.
2 Product class 36997 changed to product class 36999 for 1992. Product classes 36998, 39992, and 39447 are no longer collected on this survey.

*COMMUNICATION AND OTHER ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
PURPOSE
To provide detailed data on quantity and total value of shipments of communication and electronic equipment. The United StatesCode, Title 13, authorizes this survey and provides for
mandatory responses.
COVERAGE
Companies with 20 or more employees that manufacture communication equipment, including telephone, telegraph, and otherelectronic systems in the U.S. (most but not all are in SIC 3661,
3663, 3669, and 3699). In 1993, shipments of covered equipmenttotaled over $43 billion.
CONTENT
Product data are collected for over 100 types of equipment. Data at the 7- digit SIC level include quantity and value of shipments.For 1992, the reporting format was changed to reflect
the industry's changed product mix towards data, satellite, and cellularcommunications.
FREQUENCY
Annually; reported data are for activities taking place during the previous calendar year. Data on selected electronic equipment andassociated products have been collected since
1961.
METHODS
A mail-out/mail-back survey of 1,186 manufacturers. Companies are identified from the latest census of manufactures, StandardStatistical Establishment List, and private sources. Firms
are contacted using form MA36P. Data may be revised if firms laterprovide corrected data. Annual data are compared with data from the latest annual survey of manufactures to reconcile
anydifferences between the two series. No estimates are derived for the small firms excluded from the survey.
