ok, I though it could very by year, depending on what day of the week the month starts on.
Now being able to look at it I see the in 2006 July started on Saturday, So the June NPD that year was likely only 4 weeks while July would be 5 and 2007 July Started on Sunday so I wouldn't imagine it being a 4 week month either. 2001 it also started Sunday so another likely 5 week month, while 2002 on a Monday would probably have been 4. Last year I also believe was a 4 week month.

It may vary sometimes, but if it does I imagine it's not common. The most likely reason the third month of each quarter is a 5-week month is that it gives each quarter an equal 13 weeks apiece (4+4+5=13), which is the standard duration of a quarter, with the year being 52 weeks (+1 day, 2 on leap years) long.

I'll have to look into it further. Though I don't see how they could be consistent year to year. Without ending months early and I don't recall ever seeing that
