The aluminum industry is segmented into Standard
Industrial Classifications (SICs) based on the type of processing route used and the final
products generated. In 1997, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reclassified all
U.S. industries under a new code - the North American Industry Classification System, or
NAICS [OMB 1997]. These new classifications will be used in the
next Census of Manufactures conducted by the Department of Commerce, as well as by other
Federal agencies that collect data from industry. However, most industry data are
currently only available according to SIC codes.
