Transfers - Details about registered products,registrants, and active
ingredients.
Using EPA PPIS files. New, Transferred,
Subregistered pesticide product registrations, and much more. Complete
AIs, as Sole or Combination.
About my site postings
My primary objectives are: (1) Summary information for
new EPA federal, Sect. 3, registrations, and (2) summary information for
new transfers of registrations.
Secondarily I will post about features of registered products and registrants.
My postings use EPA's PPIS
(Pesticide Product
Information System) 18 text data files (updated weekly, usually),
imported into an Access database. Search results are converted to Excel
format files for posting here.
Date in report file name. Date formatted as YYYYMMDD. Date is that of EPA's PPIS files I used to prepare the report.
Should you want more information about registered products or applications for product registration, consider subscibing to
NPIRS or Knowtify. Or, learn to use EPA's text files and a database. FYI: I do not receive any compensation for these suggestions.
Alert. As of 14 October 2020 I will be posting for only these EPA assigned Product Types: Herbicide, Fungicide, Insecticide, Invertebraticide, Rodenticide.
Here is a list of EPA's 73 Product Types with my assignment for each Type. D = Delete/Don't use. Others ought be obvious. Disagree? Send me an emal.

Referencing Registrants
- On occasion I will do Counts using Aggregate Company Name, rather than Company Number.
- Label Sites. Unless noted otherwise I use my . Site SubCategory names
- Caution. EPA's PPIS files are never complete for all product information, nor are completely accurate for all product charactertics. Caveat lector!
PPIS. EPA Product Types. Registration Counts New 2025_03_31

- This file Count for Product Types has EPA's Code and Name for Types.
- The Delete column is for my use.

PPIS Basic Informatiom. My version New 2025_02_22
- Many of my Access database Queries, and yours?, depend on Company Number/Name and/or label stle EPA Reg. Nr. Company info is in the Address file.
- However, CoNr and Name are not in any other data file. Label style EPA Reg Nr is nowhere in PPIS.
- I have revised my Basic Information Access database table to take care of these deficiencies.
- This one row file Basic Info is an example. Extract from the 11 digit RegNr the CoNr and Product Number, then...
- Combine CoNr and Product Number as label style EPA Reg Nr.
PPIS. Importing Fixed Width/Fixed Length Files
- This tedious section just-in-case you are considering using PPIS.
- Fixed Width/Fixed Length (FW/FL) files are another variation of plain text (.txt).
- Open with any program that understands .txt format.
- FW/FL files are for use by a Database, or Spreadsheet program (yes, Excel). They look odd because...
- No column names in the first row, and data in each row is scrunched without column separation.
- I use Access 2007 database. Other databases or newer Access versions will look different, but there is ONE key idea.
- Up to you to define columns and assign names.
- I have an Access reusable Template database. Does Importing, and other stuff, with one or two clicks (1-5 seconds to do it).
- Starting import, what the file looks like. Example is PPIS product.txt (Basic Registration Information).
- Here is the Access preview. Scrunched rows.
- Access wants to know "Where do Columns begin and end?" PPIS give you the information.
- On the PPIS page follow the PPIS and Information and Report Samples link.
- Click on the PPIS introduction-file formats-data dictionary link. Multipage pdf file explanations.
- Here is the (partial) explanation page for product.txt. Scroll down.
- Ignore the Dec column. Regardless of EPA's data type, I import everthing as Text. Can be changed later.
- You need to use only that 1 starts the first column and where every column ends.
- Access asks "where are the columns?"
- Using PPIS instructions I put in line breaks. Only a few are shown here.
- I told Access at start of the import "Append/stuff the file contents into my empty All Products table."
- Here is the ready-to-use table
- Any questions? Contact me. Have fun with PPIS.
