{{Short description|FIPS standards to identify U.S. national subdivisions}}
'''FIPS state codes''' are a U.S. [[Federal Information Processing Standard]] (FIPS) code [http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip5-2.htm (FIPS 5-2)] for [[geocode|geographic coding]] of human settlements in the [[United States]]. They are used in [[Geographic information system|Geographic Information System]]s (GIS), and are also used in this encyclopedia. The current standard is FIPS 55-3. Each two-digit code uniquely identifies a state, territory, or commonwealth within or of the [[United States|U.S.]]. These codes are used by the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], by the [[United States Department of Agriculture|Department of Agriculture]] to form milk-processing plant numbers, some [[cash registers]] during check approval, and in the [[Emergency Alert System]], and were assigned by [[NIST]]. Additional numbers used with the EAS for [[territorial waters]] of the U.S. were assigned by the [[Federal Communications Commission|FCC]], but are not part of the FIPS standard. Two-''letter'' [[state codes]] are used as [[U.S. postal abbreviations|postal abbreviations]] by the [[United States Postal Service]] with the exception of UM which it does not use. The various minor outlying islands have a second two digit code besides the one used for them as a group.

'''FIPS state codes''' were numeric and two-letter alphabetic [[codes]] defined in U.S. [[Federal Information Processing Standard]] Publication ("FIPS PUB") 5-2 to identify U.S. states and certain other associated areas. The standard superseded FIPS PUB 5-1 on May 28, 1987, and was superseded on September 2, 2008, by [[ANSI]] standard [[INCITS]] 38:2009.<ref name="fips52" />
Please note that FIPS codes are ''not'' the same thing as [[ZIP Code]]s, however the two-letter abbreviations for U.S. states ''are'' the same as the Postal Service state abbreviations. Currently, actual "states" of the United States are (with the exception of number 11, District of Columbia), those entries with a FIPS code of 01 to 56.
 
The codes are used in [[Geographic Names Information System]], overseen by the [[U.S. Board on Geographic Names]]. The codes were assigned by [[NIST]] and each uniquely identified a state, the District of Columbia, or an outlying area of the [[United States|U.S.]] These codes were used by the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], the [[United States Department of Agriculture|Department of Agriculture]] to form milk-processing plant numbers, some [[cash register]]s during check approval, and in the [[Emergency Alert System]] (EAS).
The column "Counties in this state" provides a link to a list of the counties (boroughs and census areas in Alaska; parishes in Louisiana) for that state. The listing of counties for areas other than states are listed below on this page.
 
The [[Federal Communications Commission|FCC]] assigned additional numeric codes used with the EAS for [[territorial waters]] of the U.S., but these were not part of the FIPS standard.
 
The FIPS state alpha code for each U.S. states and the District of Columbia are identical to the [[U.S. postal abbreviations|postal abbreviations]] by the [[United States Postal Service]]. From September 3, 1987, the same was true of the alpha code for each of the outlying areas, with the exception of U.S. Minor Outlying Islands (UM) as the USPS routes mail for these islands indirectly.

Each of the various minor outlying islands that fell within alpha code UM had an individual numeric code, but no individual alpha code.

On September 2, 2008, FIPS 5-2 was one of ten standards withdrawn by [[NIST]] as a Federal Information Processing Standard.<ref name=fr>{{cite journal |author=National Institute of Standards and Technology |author-link=National Institute of Standards and Technology |url=https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/09/02/E8-20138/announcing-approval-of-the-withdrawal-of-ten-federal-information-processing-standards-fips |title=Announcing Approval of the Withdrawal of Ten Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) |journal=[[Federal Register]] |volume=73 |page=51276 |date=September 2, 2008 }} {{FedReg|73|51276}}</ref>
 
== FIPS state codes ==
 
The following table enumerates the FIPS state alpha and numeric codes for the states, the District of Columbia, the outlying areas of the United States, the freely associated states, and trust territory, and FIPS state numeric codes for the individual minor outlying island territories.
 
Only actual U.S. states and the District of Columbia had FIPS state numeric codes in the range 01 through 56.
 
FIPS PUB 5-1 (published on June 15, 1970, and superseded by FIPS PUB 5-2 on May 28, 1987) stated that certain numeric codes "are reserved for possible future use in identifying American Samoa (03), Canal Zone (07), Guam (14), Puerto Rico (43), and Virgin Islands (52)", but these codes were omitted from FIPS PUB 5-2 without comment. These areas are marked with a <nowiki>*</nowiki> and highlighted in red in the table below.<ref>{{cite web |title=States and Outlying Areas of the United States (FIPS PUB 5-1)

For states, the "Status" column in the table below includes a link to a list of the counties (boroughs and census areas in Alaska; parishes in Louisiana) for that state including the county codes as defined in [[FIPS PUB 6-4]]. The listings of counties for other areas are set out at the end of this article.

== County codes ==
Codes 03, 07, 14, 43, and 52 in the above table were formerly used for the certain territories, but some users found it difficult to separate them out from the States as a result so they were reassigned codes higher up in the system. Currently, actual "states" of the United States are (with the exception of number 11, District of Columbia), those entries with a FIPS code of 01 through 56.
