13、Announcing the Standard for COUNTIES AND EQUIVALENT ENTITIES AND ASSOCIATED AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES, ITS POSSESSIONS, Jationa FeLaral Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS) are issued by the Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) after approval by the Secretary- of Commer
14、ce pursuant to Section 111 (d) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 as amended by the Computer Security Act of 1987, Public Law 100-235. 1.

15、rd. Federal General Data Standard, Representations and Codes. 3. Explanation. a. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 6-4 provides the names and codes that represent the counties and other entities treated as equivalent legal and/or statistical subdivi- sions of the 50 States, the District
16、 of Columbia, and the possessions and freely associated areas of the United States. Counties are considered to be the “first-order subdivisions“ of each State and statistically equivalent entity, regardless of their local designations (county, parish, borough, etc.). Thus, the following entities are
17、 considered to be equivalent to counties for legal and/or statistical purposes: The parishes of Louisiana; the boroughs and census areas of Alaska; the District of Columbia; the independent cities of Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia; that part of Yellowstone National Park in Montana; and var
18、ious entities in the possessions and associated areas. b. FIPS 6-4 contains minor editorial changes from the text of FIPS 6-3. It also incorporates technical changes that the NIST issued as Change Notices to FIPS 6-3. FIPS 6-4 supersedes FIPS 6-3 in its entirety. e 4. Approving Authority. The Secret
19、ary of Commerce. 5. Maintenance Agency. US. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Geography Division. Questions concerning the list of entities and their assigned codes are to be addressed to the Main- tenance Agency: Office of the Chief, Geography Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington,

Users of this standard who need to be notified of changes that occur prior to the next publi- cation of the standard must complete the Change Request Form provided in this publication and send it to: Standards Processing Coordinator-(ADP), National Computer Systems Laboratory, National In
21、stitute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899.

The objectives of this standard are to improve the utilization of data resources of the Federal Government and to avoid unnecessary duplication and incompatibilities in the collec- tion, processing, and disseminat
26、ion of data. 8. Applicability, This standard is prescribed for the collection, processing, and interchange of coded data by Federal agencies, and whenever requirements for such data are imposed by a Federal agency on industry, State or local governments, or the public. Use within agency data systems
27、 is encouraged when such use contributes to operational benefits, efficiency, and/or economy. 9. Specifications.

34、OCLATED AREAS 1. Name of Standard. Counties and Equivalent Entities of the United States, Its Possessions, and Associated Areas. 2. Category of Standard. Federal General Data Standard, Representations and Codes. 3. Explanation. This standard provides the names and codes that represent the counties a
35、nd other entities treated as the equivalents of counties for legal and/or statistical purposes in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the possessions (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands of the United States) and freely associated areas (Fe
36、derated States of Micronesia and Marshall Islands) of the United States. Palau is the last remaining component of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI); for presentation purposes, Palau, rather than the TTPI, is treated as the State-equivalent entity. The term “counties“ refers to the “f
37、irst-order subdivisions“ of each State and statistically equiva- lent entity, regardless of the local terminology (county, parish, borough, etc.). First-order subdivi- sions of the States include the parishes of Louisiana; the boroughs and census areas of Alaska; the independent cities of Maryland,
38、Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia; and the portion of Yellowstone National Park in Montana. In the possessions, entities regarded as first-order subdivisions are as follows: American Samoa: districts and islands (the areas legally designated as “counties“ in American Samoa are second-order subdivisions
39、); Northern Mariana Islands: municipalities; Palau: states; Puerto Rico: municipios; Virgin Islands: islands (comprising the three major islands). The District of Columbia and Guam have no first-order subdivisions, and therefore these same areas serve as the first-order subdivisions. First-order sub
40、divisions of Federated States of Micronesia are states; of Marshall Islands, municipalities. 4. Specifications. The succeeding pages of this standard provide a list, by State, of the names and codes of the counties and equivalent entities. The States and the District of Columbia are listed in alphab
41、etical sequence; the possessions are listed alphabetically in Appendix A, and the associated areas in Appendix B. Within each State and statistically equivalent entity, the counties or equiva- lent entities are listed in alphabetical sequence except for independent cities, which comprise a separate
42、alphabetical and numeric (code) sequence following the list of counties in their respective States. This list of first-order subdivisions provides complete coverage of the United States and its possessions and associated areas. 5. Qualifications. County codes are assigned uniquely within each State
43、and equivalent entity. In other words, counties in different States will have the same code; for example, code 001 is assigned to both Autauga County, Alabama and Apache County, Arizona. Accordingly, in data systems concerned with the identification of counties in more than one State, the county cod
44、e must 3 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-be used in conjunction with Federal Information Processing Standard 5, Codes for the Identifica- tion of the States, the District of Columbia and the Outlying Areas of the United States, and As
45、sociated Areas. Autauga County, Alabama would be represented as ALO01 and Apache County, Arizona would be represented as AZO01 when the State alphabetic codes are used; and as O1001 and 04001, respectively, when the State numeric codes are used. The form of representation (State alphabetic or numeri
46、c code) is to be identified in format descriptions for those data systems that use the representations described in this standard. a. 6, Special Information. a.
