See the Report Submission and Report Processing  sections of the process overview page for more information on how to prepare your files for submission and what to expect when and after you submit your files.

Submission Methods

Upload with Our PRL Reporting Software

Our PRL Reporting Software Options  A, B, and C all include the ability to upload your report files directly to our server.  If you are using Option A, B, or C, the Upload to NYSDEC function is the quickest and easiest way to submit your report.

Some users in tightly controlled enterprise environments might not be able to use the upload function. The web site website upload is a good alternative for those users.

When you are done, the software will display a list of the files uploaded and provide you with the submission number of your report.  We will also send you an email with the same information. 


Upload Through the Web Site

The PRL Web Upload site allows you to upload existing report files or to report that you made no applications. Pesticide sales businesses can upload their reports or report that no sales were made.  The upload pages include help text for each step.

You should receive an email response from prlsupport@nysprl.com acknowledging receipt of your submission.  This message is not an automated reply.  During peak reporting season (roughly mid-December through early February), the receipt email will generally be sent by the next business day; at other times of the year, it will be sent within a few days.

 

Conventional Mail

You may also mail a floppy disk(s), CD(s) or DVD(s) containing your report or send us a paper report.

For electronic reports each diskette, CD or DVD should include a label with the full name of the certified applicator and/or business of origin and a contact phone number.

FTP

PRL report files may be submitted using FTP.  Very few report submissions require FTP transmission. In almost all cases, one of the other submission methods will work as well and probably be more convenient for you. (We have not received any FTP submissions in the last several years.)
