Number
of
Small
Businesses
in
Chlor­
Alkali
and
Vinyl
Chloride
Industries
On
29
July
2004,
ERG­
Lexington
received
a
spreadsheet
that
contained
a
listing
of
the
chlor­
alkali
and
vinyl
chloride
industry
facilities
that
ERG­
Chantilly
identified
in
the
detailed
review
of
the
OCPSF.
The
spreadsheet
included
the
SIC
code
for
nearly
all
facilities.

ERG­
Lexington
cross­
walked
the
SIC
codes
to
the
corresponding
NAICS
codes
now
used
by
the
Small
Business
Administration
in
setting
size
standards.
The
attached
table
includes
the
NAICS
code
for
a
facility
and
the
SBA
size
standard
for
that
code
(
all
of
which
are
based
on
the
number
of
employees).
ERG­
Lexington
identified
the
corporate
parent
to
which
the
size
standard
would
apply
and
located
that
information
for
all
companies
on
the
list.
The
information
is
presented
in
Table
1.
The
sources
for
the
information
for
each
company
are
listed
in
Table
2.

The
set
of
OCPSF
facilities
of
interest
for
the
304(
m)
review
contains
six
facilities
that
belong
to
four
small
businesses:

#
Ashta
Chemicals
Inc.

#
Kuehne
Chemical
Company,
Inc.

#
Pioneer
Companies
#
Veisicol
Chemical
Corporation.

All
other
facilities
belong
to
large
businesses.
