North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Codes

NAICS is an acronym for North American Industry Classification System. These codes are now used with the four digit Standard Industrial Classfication (SCC) code to describe in general terms the use of the facility. EPA requires the states to supply this information to them with the state's air emission inventory.

For most companies, we have an NAICS code that you will see when you complete your Air Reporting System (ARS) reporting. You may change the NAICS code if they are incorrect in ARS . You may choose between Editing, Deleting, or Adding another NAICS code. To delete the NAICS code click on the green 'Delete' button. To change one NAICS to another NAICS, click on the green 'Edit' button. Choose a new NAICS from the drop down box. Then click on green 'Save' button. To add another NAICS, click on the green 'Add' button, choose an NAICS from the drop down box, choose whether this is a primary NAICS, and then click on the green 'Save' button.
