                     Reliability of Cold Storage Estimates                      
                                                                                
Survey Procedures:  Questionnaires are mailed about the 24th of each month to 
all operators on the list of approximately 1,400 public and private cold 
storage warehouses.  In addition, apple data are obtained from special 
surveys and other sources (State Departments of Agriculture, U.S. Apple 
Association, etc.).  All survey data represent stocks as of the end of the 
month.
                                                                                
Data are collected from warehouses artificially cooled to a temperature of 50 
degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and whose food products are normally stored for 
30 days or more.  All food items in these facilities are reported regardless 
of the number of days stored at the time of the report.  Also included are 
specialized storage facilities meeting the 30 day requirement, such as fruit 
houses, dairy manufacturing plants, frozen fruit, fruit juice, and vegetable 
processors, and poultry and meat packing plants.  Excluded are stocks in 
space maintained by wholesalers, jobbers, distributors, chain stores, locker 
plants containing individual lockers, meat packer branch houses, and frozen 
food processors whose entire inventories are turned over more than once a 
month.
                                                                                
Estimating Procedures:  Data for reporting firms are added to estimates for 
non-reporting firms to obtain regional and National totals.  Estimates for 
non-reporting firms are obtained by multiplying the previous month's figure 
by a percent change from the previous month.  The percent change is 
calculated for each item from totals of the current and previous month summed 
from firms that reported both months.
                                                                                
Revision Policy:  Data are revised the following month based on late reports 
or corrected data.  Final figures are published in the annual summary in 
February of the following year.
                                                                                
Reliability:  Reports are received from 900 firms each month which represent 
about 70 percent of the total capacity.  Firms that are not on the list or 
firms who have never reported are not represented in the data.  Monthly data 
can vary due to different firms reporting month to month.  Survey data are 
also subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions and mistakes in 
reporting and in processing the data.  While these errors cannot be measured 
directly, they are minimized by carefully reviewing all reported data for 
consistency and reasonableness.
