Use the FacilityIdentification component to identify the facility site for which data are submitted. In this component, a facility site is identified by an identifier such as the EIS facility site identifier or its Agency facility site identifier, determined by the program system code associated with the identifier. Valid facility site identifiers must be submitted for each facility site in order to establish or update a record in the EIS.
EIS facility site identifiers. The EIS facility site identifier is the preferred method for identifying a facility site in the EIS. An EIS facility site identifier has been automatically assigned by the EIS to all facility sites in the facility inventory.
Use of S/L/T identifiers. You may also choose to report your facility site using your Agency identifiers instead. Each Agency will have a primary program system code that coincides with their Agency identifiers. Only one program system code may be reported in your submission. The identifier associated with the primary program system code for the agency that has primary responsibility for the facility site will be displayed as the Agency identifier in the EIS.
If you intend to change facility site identifiers for an existing facility site, or to indicate that a facility site identifier will no longer be used, you may either (1) submit this information using the FacilityIdentification component in your batch report or (2) update the identifier(s) using the EIS Gateway. For example, if you assign a new FacilitySiteIdentifier to a facility, report the new identifier in the FacilityIdentification component including the associated ProgramSystemCode and the previous (replaced) identifier in a second FacilityIdentification component with the EndDate element provided.
Alternative identifiers. A facility site may be known by additional identifiers within your local system(s). These alternative identifiers may be submitted for a facility site but must be associated with your primary program system code. The same facility site may have multiple alternative identifiers, but the facility site must have an active identifier associated with the primary program system code as well as the submitted alternative identifiers.
Alternative identifiers will also be used to "report" alternative identifiers from other EPA systems, such as TRI or FRS. These identifiers are the responsibility of EPA and should not be reported by S/L/T submitters.
Identifier for the facility with the defined Program System Code.
