An application for product acceptance is comprised of the information requested in this document and the document for the product specific category. Only complete applications must be submitted, unless the application is submitted in support of a field trial.

Requests for product acceptance must be made by the actual product manufacturer, or its authorized representative, and must be made for production items only.
All applications or requests should be electronically submitted with all signatory pages copied in read only format. All electronic submittals may be emailed with a 5-8 Megabytes limit per email attachment, copied onto a CD/DVD, or downloadable through the internet via file transfer protocol (FTP). The electronic submittal must be complied into folders corresponding to the numbered sections shown below. More than one email per section may be used. Information or data sent must be clearly labeled with the subject identifying the section that the information attached belongs to. Email the information to: norberto.esteves@wdc.usda.gov .
