This sounds like what you want:

SELECT small.fips, small.name, sum(big.value) as big_sum
FROM small
INNER JOIN big on small.fips = big.fips
WHERE pollutant = 'co'
AND (scc LIKE '21%' OR scc LIKE '2301%' OR scc LIKE '2801000000%')
GROUP BY small.fips, small.name

However, I'm not sure I understand this part:

Can you clarify?
