How to Report Electronically for 2007

Windows Users:

There are three Options for electronically reporting your PRL information for 2007.

Option A does not require any special software, and is the option recommended for most users.

Option B is a spreadsheet-based application.

Options A and B will load PRL Annual Reports on your computer.

Option C does not provide a data entry interface. It is used to validate ASCII files created by third-party software.

Macintosh Users:

Mac-compatible versions of Spreadsheet eForms are available here.

These Annual Reports have features that allow for their easy use:

• The ability to store up to 20 EPA Reg. Numbers within the programs for easy access.
• A drop down list in the UNITS column of all form types that allows for easy selection.
• A “Change Year” button.
• A “Copy Row” function.
• The ability to “TAB” between fields.
• In Option A (PRL eForms) and Option B (Spreadsheet eForm), The Applicators / Technician Pesticide Annual Report (26E) has 4 extra record keeping columns to the right of the PRL column:
  • Dosage Rate
  • Method of Application
  • Target Organism
  • Place of Application
  
  This information is for your record keeping requirements under 6 NYCRR 325. If you already keep these records in your own format, you do not need to complete these columns.
