| Issue | Explanation/Solution |
|---|---|
| Hyphens, which should separate the parts of the EPA number, are missing. | Report, for example, 3125-474, not 3125474 or 00312500474. |
| Numbers are omitted. | Report the complete EPA number, exactly as it appears on the product label. |
| EPA Establishment Number is reported instead of the EPA Registration Number. | EPA Establishment Numbers do not identify pesticide products. Numbers on the product label which contain a two or three-letter state or country abbreviation are not EPA Registration Numbers. |
| Leading zeroes are included. | Report 3125-474, not 003125-00474 or 00312500474. |
| Products that are not considered pesticides are reported. | Only report products that have an EPA Registration Number. Glue boards, mouse traps, fertilizers, adjuvants, surfactants and active ingredients are not pesticide products. See this FAQ for more information. |
| Multiple EPA Registration Numbers on one line of the report. | Each EPA Registration Number should be reported on a separate line. Pesticide Application Reports: This is true even if the application is a mixture of pesticide products. Report all products that were included in the mixture along with the pre-mix amount of each product used on separate lines. |
| Special Local Need (SLN) products are reported incorrectly. | If an SLN is applied or sold, you should report the SLN number, not the EPA Registration Number. |
| Commonly mistaken EPA number: 432-1452 (Tempo Ultra GC Insecticide) | The number should be 432-1452, not 4321452, 432.1452, 0000432-01452, or 5966204. |
| Commonly mistaken EPA number: 62719-486-34704 (Signature Dimension 0.10 Plus Fertilizer) | Number should be 62719-486-34704, not 67219-468-34704, 11800-CA-001, 6271948634704. |
