Overview

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 that are similar to the four paper forms used to report pesticide usage and sale.

Option A runs under Microsoft Windows®.

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

 

Starting the Software

There are a couple of ways1 to open up the main window:

  • Double-click the "PRL Option A" shortcut on your computer’s desktop.
  • Click on the Windows Start button and navigate to Programs -> Pesticide Reporting -> PRL Option A.  Windows 8 users will have a  "PRL Option A" icon on their Start Screen.

A message box saying something like “Data directory created called 'C:\PRL2011'.” may appear. This is normal. The data directory is the location to which your data files will be written.  The registration form then opens.

Other Registration Form Functions

There are several buttons and menu items available on the registration form that can help you prepare and submit your PRL report.

 

Report Forms

The PRL report forms are where you will enter the data that you need to report to the NYSDEC. Each form is used to report a particular type of pesticide-related activity.

 

Footnotes:

1 - It is also possible to run the program by clicking on the executable file, PRL_eForms.exe.  The program is installed by default to C:\Program Files\NYSPRL, but you may have changed this setting to another folder during installation.
