General

Q:  What is the purpose of the state data on kellysolutions.com?
A:  The data is posted to allow states, registrants, and consumers quick access to state registration and licensing information.  The data may be accessed free of charge to anyone that wishes to use it.  

Q:  How is this data a benefit to anyone?
A:  Previously, to obtain information about products, dealers, etc. from a state, a phone call or written request would be required.  In addition, the state could take several days or weeks to produce the desired data.  Kellysolutions.com now provides everyone with the opportunity to search for this data, free of charge, 24/7/365.  Results are found momentarily, and the user may search as often as desired.  

Q:  Is this process related to Document Submit or Erenewals?
A:  Yes.  Obtaining state data on kellysolutions.com is a prerequisite for a state to participate in either Document Submit or Erenewals.  Each state has the option of progressing to either of these additional programs, if desired.  However, they are not required.

Data Information

Q:  Where does the data on kellysolutions.com come from?
A:  Each participating state supplies Kelly Registration Systems with data directly from their own tracking programs on a scheduled basis.  KRS takes this data, combines it with EPA data, and converts it into a different format, which allows for user-friendly searches on specific categories,  including sites, pests, formulations, and active ingredients.

Q:  What information can I obtain from state data searches?
A:  There is a great variety of information available, depending on the category you wish to search. Categories include, but are not limited to, pesticides, feeds, seeds, dealers, applicators nursery and timber processors.  

Q:  I heard that I can get a copy of a product's MSDS or label from kellysolutions.com.  Is this correct?
A:  Yes, a product label or MSDS may be obtained from kellysolutions.com.  KRS provides each product with a link to the stamped accepted EPA label on file with the EPA.  In addition, states and registrants have the opportunity to provide MSDS's and in-commerce labels, which further enhance the benefit of the website for all parties involved. 

Q:  How up to date is the data?
A:  Most states send data on a weekly scheduled basis.  For all states, the data is as up to date as the files provided by the state.  In the lower left hand corner of each search feature the date of the last conversion update will be posted for your reference, so you may easily see how up to date the data is.  

Fees

Q:  What is the charge to use the state data on kellysolutions.com?
A:  There is no charge whatsoever to registrants or states to use any search on state data.

Q:  How can this service be free?  There has to be a catch.
A:  There is no catch.  The data is and will be 100% free of charge.  

Password Requirements/Security

Q:  Why do some state searches require a password?
A:  When a state first participates in providing data to kellysolutions.com, the state often likes to preview the data, page layouts, etc before releasing the data to the public.  Some states do not require a lengthy time to allow KRS to remove the password.  Others do.  Once the state does provide KRS with permission to remove the password, all users will then have full access.

State Participation

Q:  Not all states are participating.  Why is that?
A:  KRS has extended the offer for participation to all states.  Some states require a more lengthy process to submit data to KRS, due to legislation or internal reasons. 

Q:  Can I do anything to help 'speed up' those states that are not yet participating?
A:  You are welcome to call or write to the appropriate state departments, to express an interest in seeing their data on kellysolutions.com.

Contacting KRS

Q:  If I have further questions or concerns, where should I go?
A:  You are welcome to contact the Customer Service Department at Kelly Registration Systems.  We can be reached via phone at (800) 803-5777, Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time.
