City of Pompano Beach

A city address is usually permitted by the city, not the county — but not always, and some authorities keep building and hand electrical to someone else. Getting this wrong costs the whole submittal, because every requirement below belongs to whoever actually holds jurisdiction. Check the overlays in the same pass: an HOA, a historic district, a windstorm certification or a system-size cap can reshape the design, and all of them are cheaper to find now than after the array is laid out.

• Is this authority the AHJ for residential solar at this address? Yes — the City of Pompano Beach Building Department (Department of Development Services, Building Inspections Division) is the AHJ for residential solar at any address inside city limits. 95% · published permit checklist (city data feed)
• What does this authority permit itself, and what does it delegate? Both — the City's own Building Department reviews and inspects Building AND Electrical trades directly for residential PV (each trade uses its own permit application). Fire plan review and Zoning Compliance are also performed by the City's own Fire Prevention and Planning & Zoning divisions (not delegated to Broward County), coordinated through the Building Department. The only delegation option is the applicant's own choice to use a state-licensed Private Provider (FS 553.791) for Building/Electrical/Mechanical/Plumbing plan review and/or inspection — the City still issues the permit and CO. 88% · published permit checklist (city data feed) + department page
• Is a permit required for a residential rooftop PV system? Yes, a permit is required for residential rooftop PV. 95% · published permit checklist (city data feed)
• Is there a separate electrical permit, or is it combined? Separate — Building and Electrical are applied for as separate trade permits (the Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application used by the City requires the applicant to 'Select One Trade: Building / Electrical / Plumbing / Mechanical / Other' on each application), though both are typically submitted together under one ePlan project for a PV job. The fee schedule confirms this by charging the Photovoltaic Systems fee 'per trade'. 85% · permit application form + fee schedule
• Is a HOA or architectural approval required first? No — an HOA/architectural-review body cannot be used to block or effectively prohibit a residential solar installation. Florida Statute 163.04(2): 'A property owner may not be denied permission to install solar collectors ... by any entity granted the power ... in any deed restriction, covenant, declaration, or similar binding agreement.' An HOA/ARC may only control the specific rooftop location/orientation within limits set by the statute. Separately, the City's own solar checklist requires only a Zoning Compliance Application (a City administrative review) — it does not list an HOA-approval submittal as a prerequisite. 82% · Florida Statutes (state law) + city checklist (absence)
• Is a wind or windstorm certification required? No separate wind/windstorm certification instrument exists (Florida has no TDI-style windstorm certificate). Wind resistance for rooftop PV in this HVHZ jurisdiction is instead demonstrated through the same FSEC-approval-or-engineered-plans route required of every system, plus the 'Attachment & Structural Details ... for wind loads' item — i.e., product approval / PE stamp does this job. 65% · published permit checklist (absence) + general FL product-approval framework
• Is a Specific Use Permit or Council approval ever required? No — review for a standard residential rooftop PV system is administrative (a Zoning Compliance Application reviewed by Planning & Zoning staff); the City's solar checklist contains no Special/Specific Use Permit or City Commission approval item. 75% · published permit checklist (absence)
• Is there a system-size cap on residential generation? No AHJ-imposed generation-size cap: the City's own fee schedule scales fees upward per kW above 10 kW with no stated ceiling. The practical constraint on a residential system's size comes from the utility, not the City: FPL's net-metering rule requires 'your renewable system must be estimated to produce less than 115% of your annual kWh consumption,' and FPL's residential net-metering tier tops out at 100 kW AC before moving to the Tier 3 (100 kW-2,000 kW) commercial-scale process. 78% · utility's own current program page + city fee schedule

Several authorities require the electrical permit to be pulled by a licensed electrician, or require the contractor to be registered with them BEFORE applying. Registration is not same-day. This is second on the list rather than fourth because it is the step most likely to stop the job before the drawings matter.

• Who is allowed to pull the electrical permit? Either — a contractor properly registered with the City (State-certified electrical/solar contractor, or a Broward County Certificate of Competency holder / Local Business Tax Receipt holder per HB 735) may pull the electrical permit, OR the homeowner may self-permit as an owner-builder under Florida Statute 489.103(7) using the City's Owner-Builder Statement/Affidavit. 85% · department page + published affidavit form
• Must the contractor be registered with this authority before applying? Yes — contractors must register with the City (submit license and insurance information online) before a permit under their name can be issued; this is a standing requirement, separate from any per-project registration. 88% · department page
• Is a homeowner permitted to self-install and self-permit? Yes — a homeowner may self-install and self-permit as an owner-builder, subject to the Florida Statute 489.103(7) exemption (one/two-family residence or farm outbuilding, for the owner's own use/occupancy, not for sale/lease within 1 year), using the City's own Owner-Builder Statement/Affidavit. 85% · published affidavit form

Almost everywhere wants a site plan, a one-line or three-line electrical diagram, equipment cut sheets with listings, and a structural attachment detail. Build it against the published checklist rather than the last jurisdiction you worked in — the checklist is what the reviewer marks against.

• What documents make up a complete submittal? Per the City's own 'Solar Systems (Photovoltaic)' checklist: Building Permit Application (mounting), Electrical Permit Application (PV system), a Fire Plan Review Application (required for ALL property types for solar, not just multi-family/commercial as with other permit types), a Zoning Compliance Application, a Special Inspector Form (if threshold conditions apply); plus technical submittals — FSEC (Florida Solar Energy Center) system approval report OR signed-and-sealed engineered drawings; a scaled Roof Plan showing panel locations; Attachment & Structural Details for wind loads/site conditions; Photovoltaic System Documents (electrical diagrams — array configuration, wiring, overcurrent protection, inverter, disconnects, grounding, interconnection); a standby-load summary if battery backup is included; Electrical Calculations (conductor sizing, conduit fill, ambient derating); and manufacturer specification sheets/installation manuals for all components. 92% · published permit checklist (city data feed)
• How many copies, and in what format? Electronic only, in PDF format, uploaded through the City's ePlan (Avolve/ProjectDox) portal after an application number is first created in Click2Gov. No copy count applies electronically; in-person paper submittals at the Building Department counter are accepted but are then scanned into the electronic system and incur scanning fees. 80% · department page (application & review process)
• Is a site plan required, and what must it show? For solar specifically the City requires a scaled Roof Plan 'showing location of solar panel installation' rather than a full property site plan (a full site plan applies to other permit types, e.g. ground-mount/new construction, via the separate Zoning Compliance Application which reviews setbacks, height and lot coverage). 82% · published permit checklist (city data feed)
• Is a one-line / three-line diagram required? Yes — a one-line-style electrical diagram is required: 'Photovoltaic System Documents: Electrical diagrams showing array configuration, wiring, overcurrent protection, inverter, disconnects, grounding, and interconnection details.' 90% · published permit checklist (city data feed)
• Are string and conductor calculations required? Yes — 'Electrical Calculations: Provide calculations for conductor sizing, conduit fill, and ambient temperature derating.' 90% · published permit checklist (city data feed)
• Is a structural PE stamp required, and at what threshold? Required for every system, not tied to a size threshold: the applicant must provide EITHER a Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) system approval report OR signed-and-sealed engineered drawings, PLUS separate 'Attachment & Structural Details' addressing wind loads and site conditions (consistent with Broward's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone product-approval regime). 80% · published permit checklist (city data feed)
• Is an electrical PE stamp required, and at what threshold? Not separately specified. The checklist's FSEC-report-or-engineered-plans requirement is stated once, covering the system as a whole, rather than splitting a distinct electrical PE-stamp trigger from the structural one; the 'Photovoltaic System Documents' and 'Electrical Calculations' items do not themselves carry a stamp requirement. 55% · published permit checklist (city data feed)

Most authorities now take the whole application through a portal, and several states cap or constrain what a residential solar permit may cost. Check whether plan check is billed separately before you quote the job.

• Which permit portal does this authority use? Two linked systems: Click2Gov (branded 'Click2GovBP' — Building Permits On-Line Services) is used to create the application number, pay permit/inspection fees, and schedule/track inspections; ePlan (Avolve Cloud / ProjectDox, hosted at pompanobeach-fl-us.avolvecloud.com) is used to upload plans and documents and to conduct concurrent electronic plan review across all disciplines. 90% · portal landing pages + department process page
• Can the whole application be completed online? Yes — application-number creation, document upload, concurrent plan review, corrections, fee payment and permit issuance can all be completed online (Click2Gov + ePlan); an in-person paper option also remains available at the Building Department counter on the 3rd floor of City Hall. 88% · department page (application & review process)
• What does a residential solar permit cost? $260 per trade for systems up to 10 kW (so a typical residential PV job needing both a Building and an Electrical permit runs about $520 in permit fees before ancillary charges); for systems over 10 kW, $260 plus $10 per kW over 10 kW, per trade. (If the applicant elects the Private Provider inspections-only or plan-review+inspections route, the City's own rate drops to $195/trade or $130/trade respectively, plus $7.50 or $5 per kW over 10.) 90% · published fee schedule
• How is the fee calculated? Tiered/per-kW — a flat per-trade base fee up to 10 kW, then a per-kW add-on above 10 kW, charged separately for each trade (Building and Electrical). 88% · published fee schedule
• Is there a separate plan-check fee? No stand-alone plan-check fee is charged for the initial review — it is bundled into the $260/trade permit fee. Extra plan-review work beyond the norm is billed separately: 're-review of plans' or 'extensive review post permit issuance (more than 15 min.)' at $100/hour per reviewer. 78% · published fee schedule

Interconnection is a separate process from the permit and usually the longer pole. Where the utility does not depend on the permit being issued, running both at once is the single biggest saving available on a residential job.

• How long is an issued permit valid before it expires? At least 1 year from issuance (statewide floor): under Florida Statute 553.79(1)(c), 'A building permit issued by a local government for a single-family dwelling expires 1 year after the issuance of the permit or on the effective date of the next edition of the Florida Building Code, whichever is later.' This binds Pompano Beach as a 'local government' under the statute. I could not independently confirm whether the City's own Code of Ordinances repeats, extends, or shortens this figure for building permits generally — the City's code is hosted on American Legal (codelibrary.amlegal.com), which returned a Cloudflare bot-challenge page to automated retrieval and could not be read this session. 65% · Florida Statutes (state law)
• Which utility handles interconnection here? Florida Power & Light Company (FPL). 90% · city page (utility identified by name)
• Where does the utility sit in the sequence? Parallel — FPL requires its own interconnection pre-approval application to be filed, and approved, before the customer installs the renewable system; this can happen before or during the City's permitting process (it doesn't wait on permit issuance). However, FPL will not install the bi-directional meter or grant permission to operate ('PTO') until the customer uploads proof that the City's electrical AND mechanical/building inspections have been signed off and the permit approved — so the very last step in the FPL sequence does depend on the City's final inspection. 85% · utility's own current program page

The NEC edition a jurisdiction enforces is often a cycle behind the newest one published, and local amendments sit on top of it. Rapid shutdown, conductor sizing and labelling all change between editions, so the edition in force is the first thing to establish, not the last.

• Which NEC edition is in force? 2020 85% · Broward County BORA Formal Interpretations index (Wayback capture, 13 Jun 2025)
• Which building code edition is in force? Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023). 95% · city-published permit application form
• Which fire code edition is in force? Florida Fire Prevention Code, 8th Edition — matching the current FBC 8th Edition (2023) cycle, with Broward County Amendments. 68% · county-wide adopting code (Municode), binding on the City
• Are there local amendments to any of the above? Yes — Broward County's Board of Rules and Appeals (BORA) amends the Florida Building Code county-wide, and those amendments bind every Broward building official including Pompano Beach's. Confirmed examples specific to solar: BORA Formal Interpretation FI-31 exempts rooftop-mounted photovoltaic panels and solar thermal installations from the FBC §1522.3/1522.3.1 rooftop-clearance rule; BORA Board Policy 09-02 (1) requires a single master permit per solar installation with subsidiary trade permits tied to it, (2) restricts who may pull that master permit by license type, and (3) sets the required inspection sequence (Building/Structural/Roofing + Electrical Rough & Final for Solar Electric). 85% · county-wide Formal Interpretation + Board Policy (binding on the City)
• What is the installation judged against? The approved plans, plus the Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023) (with Broward County BORA amendments) and Florida's electrical code (NEC, believed 2020 edition) as adopted. Unlike some other Florida/California jurisdictions, Pompano Beach does not offer an over-the-counter no-plan-review solar permit — every PV submittal goes through the City's concurrent Building/Electrical/Fire/Zoning plan review in ePlan before issuance, so the installation is judged first at plan review against the submitted engineering (FSEC report or PE-stamped drawings) and then at inspection against those approved plans and the applicable codes. 75% · department page (process) + city checklist

Ridge setbacks and roof access pathways are fire-service requirements and they constrain the array layout. They are the most common cause of a redesign after the fire department comments on a plan set.

• What ridge setback and access pathways are required? No ridge-setback/fire-access-pathway requirement applies to rooftop PV in Broward County: BORA Formal Interpretation FI-31 states that FBC §§1522.3 and 1522.3.1 (the rooftop clearance/access requirements that would otherwise impose setbacks) 'are not intended to be applied to rooftop-mounted photovoltaic panels and solar thermal installations.' This binds Pompano Beach's building official county-wide. 85% · county-wide Formal Interpretation (binding on the City)

Which rapid-shutdown rule applies follows directly from the NEC edition in force, and the initiation device has to be at a location the fire service can reach and identify. This is inspected, and it is labelled.

• Is rapid shutdown required, and to which NEC edition? Rapid shutdown is required under NEC Article 690.12 as adopted through the Florida Building Code's electrical provisions (believed NEC 2020 edition under the current FBC 8th Edition/2023 cycle — see Q29 caveat on the edition year). Pompano Beach imposes no separate local rapid-shutdown rule of its own; its checklist requires the electrical one-line diagram to show 'disconnects' generally but does not name rapid shutdown by name. 60% · inferred from NEC edition + absence in city checklist

The NEC sets a baseline for permanent markings at the service equipment and the disconnecting means. On top of that, an authority may specify its own wording, and the utility may specify more again. Where any of them writes its own text, a generic off-the-shelf label set will not pass — this is the detail most often fixed on a return visit.

• Which placards does this authority require at the service equipment? No City-specific placard list beyond what NEC labeling requirements already demand (disconnect markings, PV power-source conduit marking, rapid-shutdown label) is published by Pompano Beach. The utility (FPL) separately requires: a sign at the meter noting the location of the AC disconnect switch (where the disconnect is not grouped with the meter), a warning sign at that disconnect stating both sides may be energized, and — for any battery-storage installation — a placard permanently affixed to the meter enclosure reading 'Battery storage utilized in this facility.' 75% · utility's own current program page (city itself publishes no placard spec)
• Does the authority specify placard wording of its own? No — Pompano Beach does not publish placard wording of its own for PV. The one placard wording that IS specified in this jurisdiction comes from FPL (the utility), not the City: 'Battery storage utilized in this facility' for battery installations. 75% · utility's own current program page (city publishes none)
• Does it specify letter height, colour or material? No City-specific letter height, colour or material requirement was found. FPL's guidelines page (fetched today) does not itself specify a lettering size/material standard for the disconnect or battery signage — it says only that a sign/placard is required, leaving format to the installer/FPL's case-by-case approval ('Please contact FPL for approval of ... the verbiage or the location of the sign prior to final design'). 55% · utility's own current program page (absence of a spec)
• Is a site plan / facility map placard required, and what must it show? Not specifically required by the City beyond the general NEC service/PV-disconnect plaque requirement; FPL requires a location sign/map at the meter whenever the AC disconnect switch is not physically grouped with the meter, 'to enable FPL personnel to easily locate the disconnect switch in the event of an emergency.' 65% · utility's own current program page
• Does the UTILITY specify placards beyond the AHJ's? Yes — beyond the general NEC labeling that any AHJ would enforce, FPL (the utility) imposes its own signage requirements: a location sign at the meter when the AC disconnect isn't grouped with the meter, a warning sign at the disconnect stating both sides may be energized, and the mandatory battery placard 'Battery storage utilized in this facility' permanently affixed to the meter enclosure for any behind-the-meter battery storage. 85% · utility's own current program page
• Where must the labels be placed? At the PV/AC disconnect(s) generically (per NEC, enforced at electrical inspection); at the meter for FPL's own location sign when the AC disconnect is not grouped with the meter; on the meter enclosure itself for the required battery-storage placard. 70% · utility's own current program page + inference from city checklist

Where the AC disconnect must sit relative to the meter is usually the utility's rule, not the building department's. Battery storage frequently carries its own permit, its own inspection and its own fire conditions.

• Where must the AC disconnect be, relative to the meter? Depends on system tier at the utility (FPL), not on a City rule: FPL requires a manual disconnect switch (visible load-break type) ONLY for Tier 2 (10-100 kW AC) and Tier 3 (100 kW-2,000 kW AC) systems, 'mounted separate from, but adjacent to, the FPL meter socket,' lockable with a single FPL padlock, and readily accessible to FPL at all times. For Tier 1 (10 kW AC or less — most residential rooftop PV, the great majority of jobs), FPL's own published tier-by-tier steps do not include a manual-disconnect requirement (interconnection instead relies on the required utility-interactive/UL-listed inverter's automatic anti-islanding function). 85% · utility's own current program page
• Must equipment be on a specific approved list? Not a Pompano-specific approved-equipment list, but a functional equivalent applies: every PV submittal must include either an FSEC (Florida Solar Energy Center) system approval report, which is itself a state equipment/system certification, OR fully engineered (PE-stamped) drawings for a site-specific, non-listed configuration. For the HVHZ wind-resistance side specifically, racking/attachment must be substantiated by product approval or engineering rather than by the statewide (non-HVHZ) Florida Product Approval alone, though the City's checklist does not use the words 'Miami-Dade NOA' — it simply requires the FSEC-or-engineered-plans package. 62% · published permit checklist (city data feed)
• Are batteries permitted, and under what conditions? Yes, batteries are permitted as an add-on to a PV permit (there is no separate 'battery' or 'ESS' permit type in the City's 66-item permit-type list). The City requires a standby-load summary ('power ratings and estimated energy consumption') as part of the same Solar Systems submittal. Separately, FPL (utility) requires battery-storage equipment to be NRTL-certified to UL 1741, and requires a placard permanently affixed to the meter enclosure reading 'Battery storage utilized in this facility.' 85% · published permit checklist (city data feed) + utility program page
• Is there a separate ESS permit or inspection? No — there is no stand-alone ESS/battery permit type; battery backup is folded into the same 'Solar Systems (Photovoltaic)' permit and checklist as the PV system itself. 82% · published permit checklist (absence, city data feed)
• Is a specific mounting system or attachment spacing required? No specific rail/attachment spacing table is published; instead the City requires project-specific substantiation: 'Attachment & Structural Details: Provide attachment, flashing, and structural design details for wind loads and site conditions,' backed by the FSEC-approval-or-engineered-plans requirement — i.e., the racking/attachment method must be justified by product approval or a PE stamp for the specific roof and wind exposure rather than meeting a single prescriptive City spacing rule. 78% · published permit checklist (city data feed)

Booking is a portal, a phone call or an email depending on the authority, and the notice required is rarely zero. Book before the work is finished rather than after — the lead time, not the work, is usually what sets the date.

• How is an inspection booked? Portal (primary) — 'You can schedule inspections and check inspection results through our Online Permitting Portal,' available online any time, seven days a week. 88% · department page
• How much notice is required? Effectively next-business-day: 'To receive an inspection on the next available business day, your request must be submitted by midnight. Requests submitted after midnight will be scheduled for the following inspection day.' Note inspections are only conducted Monday through Thursday (the City's own building-inspection work week), not Friday-Sunday. 85% · department page
• Are same-day or AM/PM windows offered? No stated AM/PM window selection or same-day option is published for the online portal; instead the City posts estimated arrival times for the day's already-scheduled inspections: 'Estimated inspection times are posted online by 8:00 a.m. on the day of inspection' via the 'Where is My Inspector?' tool. 75% · department page

Some authorities inspect their own solar work; some delegate it, and a few do not inspect the PV equipment itself at all. Who is coming determines what they will look at.

• Does this AHJ perform its own final solar inspection? Yes, by default — the City's own Building/Electrical inspectors perform the final solar inspections (per the inspection groups listed on the City's own solar checklist). This is Delegated only if the applicant elects the Private Provider program under Florida Statute 553.791, in which case the same approved Private Provider that performed plan review must perform ALL inspections for that permit instead of City staff (the City retains permit issuance, CO, and an audit/oversight role). 85% · published permit checklist (city data feed) + department page
• If delegated, to whom? To a state-licensed Private Provider: a Florida-licensed architect or engineer, a BCAIB-certified plans examiner/inspector, or an approved Duly Authorized Representative (DAR), registered in advance with the City, per Florida Statute 553.791. 85% · department page

A rough-in or mid-roof inspection, where one is required, has to happen before the work it covers is closed up. Missing a stage means opening something back up, and it is the most expensive kind of correction.

• Which inspections are required, and in what order? Per the City's own published inspection list for Solar Systems (Photovoltaic): Building Inspections — BLDG ATTACHMENT, then BLDG FINAL STRUCTURAL; Electrical Inspections — EL PHOTOVOLTAIC RAIL BOND, EL SERVICE ROUGH, then EL FINAL; Fire Inspections — FIRE DEPARTMENT FINAL; Zoning Inspections — ZONING FINAL. (Separately, Broward County BORA Board Policy 09-02 sets the county-wide baseline for 'Solar Electric': Building/Structural/Roofing at time of installation and final, plus Electrical rough and final.) 88% · published permit checklist (city data feed) + county-wide policy
• Is a rough-in or mid-roof inspection required? Yes — a rough electrical inspection is required before the electrical final: the City's own list includes 'EL SERVICE ROUGH' as a distinct inspection ahead of 'EL FINAL', plus a specific rail-bonding inspection ('EL PHOTOVOLTAIC RAIL BOND') for PV racking. 85% · published permit checklist (city data feed)

The approved plan set, the permit, and the equipment listings should be on site and reachable. Inspectors routinely verify that installed equipment matches what was approved, and that the labels are the ones the plan set promised.

• Is there a published inspection checklist? Yes — the City publishes, and actively maintains (lastUpdated 2026-07-30), a checklist for every permit type including 'Solar Systems (Photovoltaic)' that names the specific required inspections and their sequence group (Building / Electrical / Fire / Zoning). 88% · published permit checklist (city data feed)
• What must be on site at inspection? The approved plan set and the permit card: 'After issuance, the approved plan set and permit card are available for download in the Approved folder within the project in ePlan. The approved plans and permit card must be accessible on-site for all required inspections.' 88% · department page (application & review process)
• Does the inspector verify labels and listings? Not explicitly stated by the City in any published document; standard NEC Art. 110.3(B) listing-and-labeling compliance would ordinarily be checked at the EL FINAL inspection as a matter of code enforcement, but Pompano Beach does not publish a checklist item saying inspectors verify labels/listings specifically. 55% · published permit checklist (does not itemize inspection content)

Passing gives you a final or an equivalent sign-off. That is not the same as permission to operate: PTO comes from the utility, and who tells the utility the inspection passed varies. A system left switched off for weeks is usually waiting on this handover.

• What is issued on pass? A closed/'Final' inspection approval on the PV permit itself (the checklist's terminal inspection code is 'EL FINAL' for electrical and 'BLDG FINAL STRUCTURAL' for building) — not a new Certificate of Occupancy, since a residential PV retrofit does not create a new occupancy. (A CO/CC is issued for the underlying dwelling only where solar is part of new construction.) 70% · published permit checklist (city data feed) + fee schedule (by contrast)
• Who notifies the utility for PTO? Installer/customer — FPL's own process places the burden on the account holder (in practice usually handled by the installer on the customer's behalf) to 'upload a copy of the approved permit ... Review your completed application online and submit it to FPL' before FPL will proceed to install the bi-directional meter and grant permission to operate. The City does not notify FPL on the customer's behalf. 72% · utility's own current program page
• Is there a re-inspection fee? $60 for a first disapproval (with penalty), $250 for each additional disapproval (with penalty) — this is the City's general re-inspection fee schedule; I found no PV-specific re-inspection fee distinct from this general rate. 75% · published fee schedule (general, not solar-specific)
• How are corrections issued and cleared? During plan review (pre-issuance), corrections are issued and cleared entirely inside ePlan: 'Review comments are issued electronically in ePlan ... Revise the affected documents, upload revised plans through ePlan, respond directly to each review comment within ePlan. Plans will be re-reviewed upon resubmittal.' For a failed FIELD inspection after permit issuance, the City's published materials do not describe a specific correction-notice mechanism beyond the re-inspection fee schedule (Q59) and re-booking the next inspection through the same portal/phone process used to book the original one. 68% · department page (plan-review stage only; field-correction process not separately published)
