Abstract: Call a topological space

base-cover paracompact if

has an open base $\mathcal{B}$ such that every cover $\mathcal{C}\subset\mathcal{B}$ of

contains a locally finite subcover. A subspace of the Sorgenfrey line is base-cover paracompact if and only if it is $F_\sigma$ . The countable sequential fan is not base-cover paracompact. A paracompact space is locally compact if and only if its product with every compact space is base-cover paracompact.
