Box: Revised News Release Schedule for NIPA Estimates

In response to user requests for an earlier release date for the comprehensive, or benchmark, revision of the NIPA's, BEA will release revised NIPA estimates for 1959–92 on November 21, 1995. Revised estimates for 1993 through the second quarter of 1995 will be released on December 15. These release dates necessitate the following changes to the previously announced release dates for NIPA estimates:

• Gross Domestic Product and Corporate Profits, Third Quarter 1995 (Preliminary). Previously scheduled for December 1, this release will be delayed until December 15 and will be combined with the release of the revised estimates for 1993 through the second quarter of 1995.
• Gross Domestic Product and Corporate Profits, Third Quarter 1995 (Final). Previously scheduled for December 22, this release will be combined with the regular release of the advance estimate of GDP for the fourth quarter of 1995 in late January of 1996.
• Personal Income and Outlays, October 1995 and November 1995. Previously scheduled for December 4 and December 26, respectively, these releases will be combined into a single release on December 21.
