Description
CoC code for the facility whose data are described in the record.

Rationale
The Reporting Facility identification number or FIN is used to identify a reporting facility in the central registry database and is useful for monitoring data submission, ensuring the accuracy of data and identifying areas for special studies.

Codes (in addition to CoC assigned codes)

0000000000	Case not reported by a facility
0099999999	Case reported, but facility number is unknown

A listing of valid FINs can be found at http://www.facs.org/cancer/coc/fin.html.

Note:When this special code is being used, the length in 9s should correspond to the length indicated by the code in FIN coding system [35]. The 9s must be right justified in the field, and the remaining spaces should be filled with leading zeroes to a total length of 10.
