Overview

The information on this page only applies to version 6.1 of the Reporting Software Options and related documentation.  See this page for other versions of the documentation.  The version number of the PRL software you are using can be found on the Help menu under the About item.

The Option A PRL eForm program is an application designed to assist you in electronically recording Pesticide Reporting Law (PRL) information and reporting it to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. Each time you run the program you are asked to enter or verify some basic contact information. You can then view and fill out electronic forms similar to the four paper forms that were used to report pesticide usage and sales. 

New in version 6.1 Option A replaces the file validation capability that used to reside in Option C.  You can now check whether ASCII text files that you (or a third-party program) have created conform to the the NYSDEC guidelines using Option A. The required file formats are described in the Text File Specifications.

Option A runs under Microsoft Windows^®.

After downloading the Option A installation file, see the PRL Software Installation Guide to help install the software on your computer.
