WDL Pilot Purpose
EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is exploring a new initiative called “Web-Distributed Labeling” that would make the most current version of some pesticide labeling available to users via the Internet.
In an effort to ensure that chemical plant protection labeling is followed diligently, reducing the risk of improper application, the U.S. EPA is evaluating the efficacy of a Web-Distributed Label system designed to deliver product labeling that is specific to a user's individual use pattern.
This system is set up to deliver a condensed product label, with ALL the required FIFRA label sections, and ONLY the specific rate of application data as determined by the use pattern specified by a given user. Users of this system can search for and create their product label by searching with the following criteria:
EPA #, State, Crop, or alternatively by Product Name, Crop, Pest, and Application Method.
The product labeling generated from use of this WDL Pilot Program is:

WDL Pilot Feedback
By taking part in the WDL Pilot Program you will be among a variety of industry stakeholders who are evaluating the functionality, effectiveness and viability of such a system.
As part of your participation in this program you will be required to provide feedback about your user experience. After completing your Web-Distributed Labeling retrieval from this pilot program, you will be asked to complete a short survey in order to determine the efficacy of such a program. Your honest and thorough appraisal of the effectiveness, functionality, and usability of this pilot program will be critical in determining whether this program moves forward.
