EPA RELEASES 1998 PESTICIDE PRODUCT LABEL
SYSTEM ON CD-ROM
EPA has released its 1998 version of the Pesticide Product Label System (PPLS) on CD-ROM. The system is a software product that allows users to search images of over 100,000 registered pesticide product labels by registration number, which includes a combination of the company’s name and a product number. The 1998 version of the PPLS contains 25 disks and provides scanned images of the original label along with most modifications to labels registered with EPA since 1971. Although the PPLS provides quick access to all labels, the label images represent the product at the time the labeling was accepted by the Agency. Since the status of the products may change over time, some additional analysis and cross-referencing may be needed to obtain an up-to-date profile of a pesticide label. To order the program, contact the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. (Eastern Time), Monday - Friday at 703-605-6060 or 1-800-553-NTIS (6847). The CD-ROM set, which includes three updates, costs $320 in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Outside these areas, the cost is $500. For technical support or assistance with label questions or problems, contact Yvonne Brown at 703-305-6473 or the Information Resources and Services Division at 703-305-5240 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday - Friday (Eastern Time).
