Klyuchi (Ключи) at N56.30978° E160.80458° is a small military base. It obviously has no genuine ICAO code. An official list* of 4-letter indexes shows its national code to be 'ьХПЛ'. According to standard transcription, and XP's naming rules, this suggests that the XP airport identifier should be 'XUHPL'. ['UH' is the ICAO region code for the Russian Far East.]
However XP currently uses a fake Airport ID, 'UHPY'. Can this be fixed?
In this case, the airport ID on the gateway should be changed to XUHPY to avoid future conflict with any real ICAO code.
In WED, please fill the meta-tags "Local code" with UHPY and "Local Authorithy" with a short but meaningfull name for the russian authorithy in charge, leave or make the "ICAO code", "IATA code" and "FAA code" fields empty and re-submit the airport.
