INCITS 38-2009 2 3.2 Initial sequencing of names for state code assignment For each state and state equiv
23、alent in the United States, the names of the states and state equivalents shall be arranged in alphabetical order. For Puerto Rico and the Insular Areas of the United States, codes assigned in past standards shall continue to be applied (except for Baker Island) without respect to alphabetization in
24、 a separate range exclusive of the range used in the United States. 3.3 Initial assignment procedure For each state and state equivalent, state codes shall be assigned in an ascending numerical sequence to the state and state equivalent names as specified in 3.2. One and one only state code shall be
25、 assigned to each state or state equivalent, except for a single code assigned to the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands containing alternative codes for each individual island or island group. 3.4 Assignment interval and values for state codes In the initial assignment of state codes in Table 1, there sha
26、ll be a minimum arithmetic interval of one between successive assignments. The lowest numbered assignment shall be for the United States as a whole and it shall be assigned the code 00. Alabama, the first state alphabetically, shall be given a code of 01, Wyoming, the last state alphabetically, shal
27、l be assigned the code 56. The District of Columbia shall be integrated into the list of states and shall be given a code of 11. Exceptions to this rule shall be that no state is assigned any of the following codes at this time: 03, 07, 14, 43, or 52. These codes are reserved for future use. The ass
28、ignment of state equivalent codes in Tables 2 and 3 shall adhere to the historic designation of these codes. Table 4 shall have a minimum arithmetic interval of one between successive assignments. 3.5 New entries Subsequent to the initial assignments, new entries shall be assigned state codes so tha
29、t, to the greatest extent possible, the alphabetic order within each sequence is maintained. 3.6 Alphabetic codes For each state and state equivalent, the two-character alphabetic postal codes assigned by the United States Postal Service are identified (where assigned) for each area of reference. 4.

This file is publicly available at: http:/ww
32、w.census.gov/geo/www/ansi/ansi.html.
