To establish facility typesOn the Facility Type form, establish facility types at your enterprise, such as refinery, terminal, manufacturing unit, etc., for applicability analyses based on type of facility. Assign properties and compliance categories associated with requirements to the facility. Use the Facility Type Compliance Scenario form to determine which requirements apply.
For additional instruction on facility types, click the following links or use the scroll bar to scan the page.

Click Data
Entry > Facility Type Compliance > Facility Types in
the Navigation Tree.
The Facility Types list appears.
Click the New
button.
The Facility Type form is displayed.
Select an Enterprise
Entity from the list.
If an entity is not listed, click the Ellipsis
button and add it.
Enter the Facility Type.
Expand the General section when necessary and enter a Facility Type Name and Description.
Add information in the Properties, SCC Codes, Compliance Categories, and References sections.
Click the Save button on the form.
Repeat steps 2 through 7 to add other facility types.
In the Properties section on the Facility Type form, define properties about a facility type for use in applicability analyses, reports, or recordkeeping. Properties are fixed characteristics of the facility, which may include the waste storage capacity, adsorbent replacement criteria, type of operation, or number of vents. Properties validated on the Process Unit Properties form are available for selection on the Facility Type form.
For each property, enter the facility type's value. If the result is a number, enter the value and select the appropriate unit of measure. The unit of measure list will only contain units of the same unit type as the property's base unit (e.g., Temperature, Density, or Length) and for which there is conversion information. For example, if the property is Average Wind Speed, the Unit Type is Velocity, and the base unit of measure is ft/sec; you will only be able to change the unit to mph, km/hr, m/s, or another unit that has conversion information to ft/sec.
The unit properties and the values assigned can be viewed in the Facility Type Properties section on the Compliance Scenario form to help you determine if a particular requirement applies to the facility.
To define properties
for a process unit
Locate your facility type on the Facility Types list, click the link to open the Facility Type form, and expand the Properties section when necessary.
Click Add a Property to display the Properties form.
Select a Property from the list.
Enter a Text Value or a Numeric Value for the property
Associate
a Unit of measure with a numeric
value entry by selecting it from the list.
If the unit of measure is not listed, click the Ellipsis

Click
OK.
The property is added as a line item in the Properties
section. Edit existing properties using the buttons adjacent to the
line item.
Repeat steps 2 through 6 to add another property.

In the SCC Codes section on the Facility Type form, assign SCC codes to facility types. SCC codes allow you to group sources based on type and industry for reporting and accounting. Before beginning, make sure a list of codes has been validated on the SCC Codes form.
To add SCC codes
Locate your facility type on the Facility Types list, click the link to open the Facility Type form, and expand the SCC Codes section when necessary.
Select the applicable Available
SCC Codes and click Add to assign the codes to the facility
type.
If an SCC code is not listed, click Edit
SCC Code List and add it. To unassign an SCC code, select the
code and click Remove.
Click the Save button on the form.
In the Compliance Categories section on the Facility Types form, associate facility types with logical groups of regulations and policies, called compliance categories. The Compliance Manager module uses the association to determine which regulations and policies potentially apply to a facility type for an applicability analysis. Compliance categories can encompass equipment type, process, or another factor. Your regulatory experts should guide you when you assign process units to compliance categories to ensure that the categories are used consistently.
To assign compliance
categories
Locate your facility type on the Facility Types list, click the link to open the Facility Type form.
Expand the Compliance Categories section when necessary, and do the following:
Click Add Compliance Categories. The Compliance Category list opens.
Select the applicable Compliance Categories.
Scroll to the bottom of the list and click Add Selected Items.
Click the Save button on the form.
In the Reference section on the Facility Type form, document any supporting information about the type of facility. For example, you might document authorization references such as a pre-construction authorization reference number.
To identify
references
Locate your facility type on the Facility Types list, click the link to open the Facility Type form, and expand the Reference section when necessary.
Click Add Reference and type a Reference name
Enter a reference Description.
Click OK.
The reference is displayed as a line item. Edit existing reference
information by using the buttons adjacent to the line item.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 to add other references.
Click the Save button on the form.
