• 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 using a single submission method.  For example, do not send a paper formemail Form 26A to the DEC in Albany and an electronic form and upload Form 26 to the PRL Service Bureau.
• Do not send multiple copies of your report unless we request a replacement report from you.
• Minimize the number of files of the same form type you submit.  Multiple files of the same type increase the chance that your report will fail validation.  That is because we use an error threshold based on the percentage of error records in the file.  A smaller file has a lower error threshold. 

See Report Submission Methods for information on the various options for sending us your report.  Please note that while we monitor all the reporting channels (PRL software upload, website upload, and email, CD/DVD, and paper) and will get the report through any of them, you will get a confirmation of receipt email from us more quickly if you use one of the upload methods.
