According to the article, it is by the NSF and not by the commerce department.
Psychology sits in a really weird (and interesting!) place between the social sciences and "hard" sciences. I thus find either classification reasonable, as unhelpful as that may be.
It is institution-dependent, and a bit odd. I believe the American Psychological Association have advocated for this.
