                  Comprehensive Revision of the National Income and Product Accounts

 With this release, the 11th comprehensive revision of the national income and product accounts (NIPA's)
 is nears its completion.  Estimates of real DPI and real personal consumption expenditures have been revised
 beginning with 1959 to incorporate a correction to real services furnished without payment by
 financial intermediaries that was released on March 30, 2000.  The availability of revised estimates for
 earlier periods and of additional information about the revision is described in a box on page 5.

Wages and salaries

 Private wage and salary disbursements increased $10.7 billion in February, compared with an
increase of $30.6 billion in January.  Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $4.4 billion,
compared with an increase of $13.0 billion; manufacturing payrolls increased $3.8 billion, compared
with an increase of $7.4 billion.  Distributive industries' payrolls decreased $2.2 billion, in contrast to an
increase of $4.5 billion.  Service industries' payrolls increased $8.3 billion, compared with an increase of
$13.2 billion.

 Government wage and salary disbursements increased $2.1 billion in February, compared with an
increase of $10.3 billion in January.  Pay raises for federal civilian and military personnel added $6.9
billion to government payrolls in January.

Other personal income

 Proprietors' income increased $5.1 billion in February, compared with an increase of $1.6 billion in
January.  Farm proprietors' income increased $1.0 billion, compared with an increase of $0.6 billion.
Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $4.2 billion, compared with an increase of $0.9 billion.

 Transfer payments increased $5.1 billion in February, compared with an increase of $9.2 billion in
January.  The January increase in transfer payments reflected 2.4-percent cost-of-living adjustments,
which had added $10.7 billion to social security benefits and to several other federal transfer payment
programs.  The January increase had been reduced by lump-sum social security benefits payments, which
had added $3.7 billion to December transfer payments; these benefit payments resulted from a
recalculation of the earnings base underlying the benefits for recent retirees.

 Personal interest income increased $5.2 billion in February, compared with an increase of $5.4
billion in January.  Personal dividend income increased $2.2 billion, compared with an increase of $2.3
billion.  Rental income of persons increased $1.0 billion, compared with an increase of $1.1 billion.

 Personal contributions for social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income --
increased $0.7 billion in February, compared with an increase of $4.8 billion in January.  The January
increase reflected the effect of an increase in the social security taxable wage base for employees and the
self-employed (from $72,600 to $76,200), which had added $2.5 billion to January.

Personal taxes and disposable personal income

 Personal tax and nontax payments increased $10.4 billion in February, in contrast to a decrease of
$2.6 billion in January.  In January, federal income tax payments had been reduced by $5.4 billion,
reflecting the provisions of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 and the indexation provisions of current tax
law.

 Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal tax and nontax payments --
increased $22.1 billion, or 0.3 percent, in February, compared with an increase of $61.4 billion, or 0.9
percent, in January.

Personal outlays and personal saving

 Personal outlays -- PCE, interest paid by persons, and personal transfer payments to the rest of the
world (net) -- increased $63.9 billion in February, compared with an increase of $37.0 billion in January.
PCE increased $62.4 billion, compared with an increase of $35.9 billion.

 Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was $55.5 billion in February, compared with $97.4
billion in January.  Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was 0.8 percent in
February, compared with 1.4 percent in January.

Real DPI and real PCE

 Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- decreased 0.1 percent in February, in contrast
to an increase of 0.6 percent in January.

 Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.5 percent in February, compared
with an increase of 0.3 percent in January.  Purchases of durable goods increased 1.7 percent, compared
with an increase of 2.6 percent.  Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted for most of the
February increase and about half of the January increase.  Purchases of nondurable goods increased 0.6
percent in February, in contrast to a decrease of 1.0 percent in January.  Purchases of services increased
0.3 percent, compared with an increase of 0.5 percent.

Revisions

 Current-dollar estimates have been revised for October through January.  Estimates of real DPI and
real personal consumption expenditures have been revised beginning with 1959 to incorporate
corrections to real services furnished without payment by financial intermediaries.  Table 6 shows
published and revised real DPI, real PCE, and the PCE implicit price deflators.  Changes in personal
income, current-dollar and chained (1996) dollar DPI, and current-dollar and chained (1996) dollar PCE
for December and January -- revised and as published in last month's release -- are shown below.

           Availability of Estimates and Related Information

 On March 30, 2000, the regular "selected NIPA tables" were posted on BEA's Web site at
 and on STAT-USA's Web site at .  On April 3, 2000, the
selected NIPA tables beginning with 1959 will be posted.  On April 5, 2000, the historical personal
income and outlays tables beginning with 1959 will be posted.  The selected NIPA tables for 1929-58
and most annual-only tables beginning with 1929 will be posted later in April.

 Lists of specific series and of specific lines and columns of the NIPA tables affected by the
corrections to the estimates beginning with 1959 have been posted on BEA's Web site and will be
published in the April issue of the Survey of Current Business.

 The April Survey will include an article that discusses the revised estimates for 1929-98, tables
for GDP, personal income, and other major aggregates beginning with 1929, and most of the NIPA
tables (including annual-only tables), beginning with 1997.

 The April Survey will also present an article on the estimates of fixed assets and consumer
durable goods, including summary estimates for 1925-98 and detailed estimates for 1988-98.
Additional estimates will be posted on BEA's and STAT-USA's Web sites in late April.

 The following issues of the Survey contain information about the comprehensive revision:
