This page summarizes the PRL reporting process, what report submitters need to do and what they can expect to happen.

Overview

The reporting process has four phases:

...

If you do not use pesticide management software that stores the PRL data, download and install one of our software options.  For more information see Which Software Option Should I Use?

Warning

Your PRL report must conform to the layouts of the forms (25, 26, 26A, 27) that have been developed for the different types of pesticide businesses.  We may not accept reports which do not use one of these standard layouts.

Data Entry Guidelines

  • Do not use ditto marks or equivalent notation on any of the four form types.
  • Each required column should contain a single value (one EPA number, one street address etc).
  • Do not add extra columns to the files that you send us; that is columns that are not on one of the four form types.

See the Data Dictionary for complete descriptions of every data item on all four form types.

Report Submission

After you are finished entering your pesticide data, you need to prepare the report for submission.  Please keep the following in mind

  • Submit all your data for the entire year at one time.  Do not send us the data incrementally, such as by the month or week.
  • Send all the files that are part of your report in one submission.  For example, do not send a paper form 26A to the DEC in Albany and an electronic form 26 to the PRL Service Bureau.
  • Do not send multiple copies of your report using different submission methods.  We monitor all reporting channels (PRL software, web site upload, email and paper) and will get the report through any of them.
