Pesticide Sales and Use Reporting Database Group
From their page - "The Pesticide Sales and Use Reporting Database Group was assembled in response to the Pesticide Reporting Law of 1996. The law mandated that Cornell University work in conjunction with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to develop a database to store the reported pesticide data. The group is responsible for the processing, management and manipulation of all pesticide data beginning with the receipt of the electronic files from the data entry vendor and ending with the delivery of the pesticide reports to the Department."
