Also known as SIC Codes, a method of grouping industries with similar products or services and assigning codes to these groups.\n\n4. A code number system used to identify various types of industries. A particular industry may have more than one SIC code if it conducts several types of commercial or manufacturing activities onsite. An online version of the 1987 SIC Manual <www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.html> is available courtesy of the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA).\n\n5. Code that describes the primary activity of the facility. The two-digit code defines a major business sector, the four-digit code contains two additional numbers that denote a facility's specialty within the major sector. See the U.S. Department of Labor website (https://www.osha.gov/data/sic-search) for more information. Search Considerations: For SIC code searches, the Loading Tool identifies matching facilities based on their permit SIC code in ICIS-NPDES. If the permit SIC code is blank, the Loading Tool uses the primary facility SIC code. Note that SIC codes are not required to be reported in ICIS-NPDES. Searching on SIC code will only return records for facilities that have either a primary permit or facility SIC code in ICIS-NPDES that matches the specified SIC code for the search. These data are from ICIS-NPDES."
