Description
A facility identifier assigned by the local regulator supporting cross-linking of CERS and local data system records. Because CUPAs do not consistently apply the original regulatory definition of this field (2 AN county 3 AN jurisdiction 6 AN facility number), CERS accepts any alphanumeric string up to 13 characters. The original regulator goals of this field are fulfilled through the CERS ID and CERS System Field "FacilityRegulatorKey" (20.0084).
