There are several ways to submit your electronic PRL reports to the Pesticide Reporting Service Bureau:
You may also mail your paper PRL report to the NYSDEC.
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.
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 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.
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.
If you are submitting applications or sales files created by PRL Reporting Software Options A or B, the files will be stored in the default report folder, unless you have changed the location. If you are having trouble locating your PRL Reporting Software report files, see this FAQ.
When you are done, the site 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.
If you upload a ZIP file, the Web Upload site will include the contents of the ZIP file in the list of uploaded files that it displays.
To submit your report by email, do the following:
Indicate the report year in the subject line.
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.
Along with your application or sales files, electronic reports must also include the identity file.
