I received this from the U.S. Superintendent of Documents which
may be appropriate for WCA members. It is the new NAICS listing

NEW INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM NOW AVAILABLE
Washington, DC - A new North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS), which replaces the US Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) system has been published and is now
available from the Superintendent of Documents. This system will
allow business marketers to classify customers and prospects by industry type
The NAICS classification system includes 350 new industries
including the growing service sector and technological
industries. The book also contains definitions for each industry,
tables showing correspondence between 1997 NAICS and 1987 SICs
codes and vise versa, alphabetic list of more than 18,000
businesses and their corresponding NAICS codes, and a special
section on what small businesses need to know about NAICS.
With this official NAICS System, government and business analysts
can make direct comparisons of industrial production statistics
collected and published in the three North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) countries -- the US, Canada and Mexico. NAICS
provides for increased comparability with the International
Standard Industrial Classification System (ISIC, Revision 3),
developed and maintained by the United Nations.
The 1997 North American Industry Classification System is
available for $28.50 (paper), stock number 041-001-00509-9 and
for $32.50 (cloth), stock number 041-001-00508-1.

PM Eastern time weekdays, fax 202-512-2250, 24 hours a day),
mail, and through any of the 24 US Government Bookstores
