               Label  System   (PPLS)
February 1998


Enclosed is the 1998 Pesticide Product Label System (PPLS), a software product developed by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), witch contains
images of registered pesticide product labels submitted by pesticide registrants and accepted by
the OPP since 1971. The label images have been indexed by company, product and date. The
retrieval program allows the user to search by registration number, which is a combination of
company number and product number. Searches can be conducted based on partial numbers  if
the complete number is unknown.  Search results are displayed in full screen format and single or
multiple pages can be printed.  If you do not know the registration number, you may search the
EPA Pesticide Product Information  System through the Internet by using an online query
developed by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation.  The online query allows you to
search for product registration numbers by chemical, product name, and company. The address
for this site is:

             Http://www.cdpr.ca.qov/docs/epa/epamenu.htm

Some label amendments address only portions of the label and may not represent the complete
label.  Review of all updates for a single product may be necessary. The label images represent
the product at the time the labeling was accepted. The product may have been transferred to
another company or canceled since the date the label was accepted and such status information is
not reflected in this system. The quality of the images varies greatly as it  is dependent on the
quality of the  label submitted to and accepted by OPP.  Since the initial version of the PPLS is the
product of a conversion from images stored on microfiche, some oversized images are represented
as two separate documents and will require retrieval of both to obtain the  complete image.

Regulations governing the labeling  requirements of pesticide products are contained in Title 40,
Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1 (40 CFR Ch.1)

The 1998 PPLS replaces the 1997 PPLS in its entirety. The 1998 PPLS contains 25 disks - the
first disk is a set up disk, which contains the label index, and disks 1 -24 contain the label images.
You may discard the existing set of PPLS, since they are superseded by the enclosed set.  For
Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 users, an AUTORUN feature has been added to the FY 98

-------
PPLS Setup Disk that will automatically start the Setup program when the Disk is inserted into the
CDROM. For Windows 3.1 users, please follow these instructions to install PPLS (it is not
necessary to uninstall the existing program):

      1.    Load Windows.

      2.    Insert the PPLS "SETUP DISK" in the CD drive.

      3.    From Windows Program Manager, select "File Run..."

      4.    At the Command Line:, type "D:SETUP" (or the appropriate drive letter designation
            for your CD ROM) and press ENTER or Click on OK.

      5.    A dialogue box will appear showing you the destination directory were the program
            will  be installed "C:\PPLS".

      6.    Click [OK] to verify that destination is correct.

      7.    The install program is set for the CD drive to be D:, if your CD drive is different enter
            your drive destination.

      8.    Click [OK] to verify that destination is correct.

      9.    The installation program will then start to copy files from the setup disk.

      10.   A dialogue box will appear showing you the group name: " PPLS" and the group icon
            will  be created.

      11.   Click [OK].

      12.   A dialogue box will appear showing you a READ ME file to let you know what to do
            in case you ever need to change file path.

      13.   A dialogue box will appear letting you know that the  installation is complete.
