  "definition": "1. Six-digit code(s) that represents the product(s)/activity(s)/service(s) at a facility or supplier as listed in the Federal Register and defined in “North American Industrial Classification System Manual 2007,” available from the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Technical Information Service, Alexandria, VA 22312, phone (703) 605-6000 or (800) 553-6847. http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/.\n\n2. A six-digit code that identifies NAICS industries and has replaced the U.S. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. The system was developed to give special attention to developing production-oriented classifications for (a) new and emerging industries, (b) service industries in general, and (c) industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies. The first two-digits represent the industry sector, in which there exist 20 broad sectors. The third digit represents the industry subsector, the fourth digit represents the industry group, the fifth digit represents the industry, and the sixth digit specifies the country (i.e., U.S., Canada, or Mexico). See the U.S. Census website for more information. Search Considerations: NAICS codes are not required in ICIS-NPDES. Therefore, searching on this field will only return results for facilities that have NAICS codes in ICIS-NPDES. NAICS codes are required in TRI.",
