  Special Note: In February 2008, the Federal Reserve Board revised the seasonal factors for light vehicle unit sales (domestic and foreign autos, domestic and foreign light trucks) to account for a January 2007 selling day that was misallocated to December 2006. The revision mainly affects sales for those months (it would lower the seasonally adjusted annual rate for January 2007 and raise it for December 2006), but it also affects other months slightly. BEA is incorporating the revised seasonal factors beginning with estimates for October 2007. The revised seasonal factors for earlier periods will be incorporated in the next annual revision of the NIPAs, which is scheduled for release in July 2008.
