You can list “national” for codes that fall under 7(c)(iv)(a) and 7(c)(iv)(c).

[REDACTED] you can list “national” for codes that fall under 7(c)(iv)(a) and 7(c)(iv)(c).

Subject: Technical Reporting Question Regarding Item 7(c)

On page IX of the revised instructions, it states “Note that except in the case of those NAICS industries in the Sectors and Subsectors mentioned in Item 7(c)(iv), the person filing notification may respond with the word "national" if business is conducted in all 50 states.”

I understand the information required to be provided for Item 7(c)(iv)(b), but do we also need to list the specific states for NAICS overlaps that fall under 7(c)(iv)(a) and 7(c)(iv)(c), or are we permitted to list “National” for NAICS overlaps that fall under 7(c)(iv)(a) and 7(c)(iv)(c).

Please advise.

Thanks,

[REDACTED]
