         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 510_IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MINIMUM WAGE PROVISIONS OF THE 1989 
 
                 Subpart C_Classification of Industries
 
Sec. 510.21  SIC codes.

    (a) The Conference Report specifically cites Puerto Rico's annual 
Census of Manufacturing Industries as a source of average hourly wage 
data by industry. Industries in that census are organized by Standard 
Industrial Classification (SIC), the statistical classification system 
used for a variety of governmental and statistical purposes. With 
respect to non-manufacturing industries, or other industries not 
included in the Census of Manufacturing, the Conference Report stated 
that data ``should be at a level of specificity comparable to the four 
digit Standard Industry Code (SIC) code level.''
    (b) The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes listed in 
appendix A and B herein are designated in accordance with the Standard 
Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual, 1987, published by the Executive 
Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget. This 
incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal 
Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. Copies 
may be obtained from the National Technical Information Service, 5285 
Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. Copies may be inspected at all 
federal depository libraries in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; at the 
district office of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor,

activity. The classification structure classifies industries by:
    (1) Two-digit major group,
    (2) Three digit industry group, or
    (3) Four-digit industry code, according to the level of industrial 
detail which may be required.

Each operating establishment is assigned an industry code on the basis 
of its primary activity, which is determined by its principal product or 
group of products produced or distributed, or services rendered.
