For929 58,theaverageannualgrowthrate real GDP was unrevised at 3.4 percent. The largestrevision to an annualgrowth rate real GDP was +0.5 percentage point for 947, reflecting arevision to Federal gross, which, in turn, reflected arevision to the change in inventories the Commodity Credit Corporation. Other revisions to annual growth rates real GDP were 0.4 percentage point or less in absolute value primarily reflected revisions to the change in inventories to Federal. The revisions to the change in inventories reflected the new methodology for construction inventories that eliminated the double-count construction work-in-progress unsold finished structures. 3 For 939 47, revisions to real Federal nondefense reflected the use additional detailed information on prices CommodityCredit Corporation inventorychanges. Beginning with 959, the revisions to real GDP reflected acorrection to real furnished without payment by financial intermediaries. This correction affected real GDP prices, but it did not affect current-dollar GDP.The average annualgrowth rate real GDP over 959 98was unrevised at 3.4 percent. For specific years, the revisions were more notable. The largest revision to the annual growth rate GDP was +0.4 percentage point for 976; the growth rate for 993 was revised up 0.3 percentage point.

These estimates incorporate the March 2000 release corrections revisions to the 959 98 NIPA estimates that were released in October 999. Later this year, the data will be available on acd ROM.

Revised percent change less the previously published percent change. NOTE. Users are cautioned that particularly for components for which relative prices are changing rapidly, the use chained-dollar estimates to calculate component shares or component contributions to real growth may be misleading, even just a few years from the base year. For accurate estimates the contributions to percent changes in real GDP, use NIPA table 8.2.
