PESTS MODULE USERS' GUIDE

I. INTRODUCTION

The PESTS module of COMMON is intended to provide an easy automated way to communicate pesticide use requests (Form 10-21A) from the park, through the Regional Office,- to the Washington Office. In addition, parks, and Regions can run the PESTS reports in COMMON'S Report Library (or prepare their own customised reports) to find out what other parks have similar pest problems, see what treatments other parks are using, or to get parkwide, Regionwide, or Servicewide summaries of pest control projects by pest,- or pesticide product.

A park wishing to receive approval for a given pesticide use project will use PESTS to enter the project information. Next, the Regional Office IPM Coordinator will review the project request, revise it if necessary, and enter a Regional approval name and date. Then, the Washington IPM Coordinator will review the project, make any necessary changes, and either approve or deny the request.

Pesticide use request (Form 10-21A) information is entered into the PROJINFO file in the PESTS module. In general, the PROJINFO data entry screens are modeled after the existing paper 10-21A form. There are three pages (screens) which should be completed for each project. Any additional explanatory remarks on a given project can be entered into the PROJTEXT file.

Security in PESTS is set up so that each par!; may only enter or update pesticide use project requests for their park. Each region may only enter, update, or approve projects for the parks in that region. In addition, after the region has reviewed and approved a given project, the park can no longer make any changes to that project. After WASO has reviewed and either approved or denied the project, neither the Region nor the pari; can make any further changes.

In addition to the PROJINFO and "ROJTEXT files, PESTS also includes several other data files which are maintained by the Washington Office. These files are used to support the PROJINFO and PROJTEXT files. They include a file on pest identification codes and their corresponding names (PESTCODE) ,° a file on EPA product Registration Numbers and corresponding product names (PRODUCTS); a file on the various active ingredients and corresponding concentrations found in each product (PRODAI); and a file on active ingredient codes and their corresponding names (AICODES).

Before beginning to enter a project into PESTS for the first time, you may wish to review the general COMMON User's Guide (copies should be available in each park and Regional Office) for information on how COMMON works, how to use the data entry screens, etc.

C. Pesticide Use Logs: The USELOG Data File

The USELOG file in PESTS is intended to provide an easy automated way to enter information on pesticides used in the park. This information will be the same type of information as entered in the pesticide use logs. Much of the information will be taken directly from the Pesticide Use Proposals as entered in the PROJINFO file of PESTS.

To begin entering data into the USELOG, at the COMMON main menu (an example of the screen is on page 2) select 4 ("Proceed Directly to Data File Selection") and press return. The screen which is shown on Page 4 will appear. Enter USELOG and press return. The next screen to appear will be the data entry screen as shown below.

III. DATA REPORTS

A. Standard Reports

There are currently four standard reports that can be derived from the PESTS module automatically through the report library. For guidance on how to use the report library please refer to the Common Data Base Users Manual (Part II.B. Using the Report Library, p.4) for assistance. The standard reports which are presently available from this source include the following:

1. Park Pest Control Projects Report (Standard Report Sl)-This report lists all pest control projects either for a specific park, for parks within a specific region, or for all parks servicewide. You enter the Park Alpha Organization code, the NPS Region code, or "ALL."

2. Pest Control Projects by Pest Report (Standard Report S2)-This report lists all pest control projects for a specified pest, either servicewide or for a specific region. The 6-letter pest identification code is the required entry field.

3. Pest Control by Ingredient Report (Standard Report S3)-This report lists all pest control projects servicewide which utilize a specified active ingredient in the pesticide project. The 6~letter active ingredient code is a required entry field.

4. Pesticide Use Log Report (Standard Report S4)-This report lists pesticide application information (application date, applicator name, product name, active ingredients, total amount of product used, area treated, amount of 100% active ingredient, and target pests) for a given park, or all projects in a given region. It can be used as the annual pesticide use log. You enter project ID number, park alpha code, or the NPS region code.

Remember, if you forget a Pest ID code, active ingredient code, park alpha code, etc., simply enter "H" to get into COMMON'S on-line Help System.

B. Customized Reports

If information is needed from the PESTS Module that is not available through any of the standardized (preprogrammed) reports (i.e. variations on the reports or different kinds of readouts entirely), the user may develop a customized (individualized) report to gain the desired information. Customized reports also allow a connection (link-up) between PESTS and other "modules" of COMMON. With these links different kinds of data can be brought together, in a variety of ways, to answer a wide range of questions relating to park issues. Thus, these reports are a mechanism to take full

advantage of the various modules residing in COMMON.

Reports, either standard (SI, S2, S3, or S4) or customized can be run beginning with the main menu. To get to the main menu from the 10-21A data entry screen, enter X. A copy of the main menu screen follows.
