IDELEMENTCODES/CRITERIALENGTHTYPEINFORMATION DESCRIPTIONCERS MINIMALLY REQUIRED FIELDS
1Facility ID Number13ANA 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).False
1aCERS IDCal/EPA assigned, 8- or 9-digit ID assigned to a specific facility that never has leading zeroes (begins at 10000001). Cal/EPA does not anticipate using 9- digit CERS IDs until the year 2020 or beyond.9NA CERS ID is a Cal/EPA-assigned, 8- or 9-digit ID to uniquely identify a facility in CERS. The CERS ID should remain unchanged across different owners/operators of a facility.False

206Trade SecretY = Yes N = No1ANIndicates if information in this section is declared a trade secret. If business is not subject to EPCRA, trade secret information is bound by State requirements, as defined in HSC Section 25511. If business is subject to EPCRA, trade secret information is bound by Federal requirements, as defined in 40 CFR and business must submit a "Substantiation to Accompany Claims of Trade Secrecy" form (40 CFR 350.27) to U.S. EPA.False
207Common Name (Inventory) 500ANCommon name or trade name of hazardous material or mixture containing a hazardous material.True
208EHSY = Yes N = No1ANIndicates if hazardous material is an Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS), as defined in 40 CFR Part 355, Appendix A. If the material is a mixture containing an EHS, do not complete this field; report on the individual hazardous components in the appropriate section below.True
209CAS #Chemical Abstract Service number15ANChemical Abstract Service (CAS) number for the hazardous material. For mixtures, enter the CAS # of the mixture if it has been assigned a number distinct from its components. If the mixture has no CAS #, do not complete this field; report the CAS #s of the individual hazardous components in the appropriate section below.False
