Line 1: {{Merge\|FIPS place code}} A two-digit [[Federal Information Processing Standard]] (FIPS) code [http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip5-2.htm (FIPS 5-2)] 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''' 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. 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 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 all areas having fewer than three counties are listed on this page rather than on separate pages. {\| colspan="3" Line 633 ⟶ 635: {\| style="width: 100%; text-align: left;" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" \|- !
