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You may discard the existing set of PPLS, since they are superseded by the enclosed set.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

CDROM. For Windows 3.1 users, please follow these instructions to install PPLS (it is not
necessary to uninstall the existing program):
