As part of the Pet Spot-on Enhanced Reporting Pilot, `five registrants volunteered to submit quarterly pet spot-on product incident and sales data for 2016` using EPA's draft templates; EPA adjusted the templates based on public and participant comment. Following the pilot, `Manufacturers of all spot-on products with registrations are required to submit enhanced reporting`.\n\nThe two templates are the `Enhanced Incident Reporting Template (XLSX)` and the `Sales Reporting Template (XLSX)`.\n\nRelated: `epa_pet_collar_products` (EPA's plan to align collar reporting requirements with spot-on requirements).\n\nSource: `pdf-parsed/epa/pet-spot-incident-report-templates.txt` (US EPA, landed 2026-08-11).\n## Claims (verified C1 substrings of source_file)\n- `EPA’s templates help to standardize data in a format that can be readily analyzed in a meaningful way`\n- `In 2018, EPA concluded a Pilot program that tested standardized template formats`\n- `five registrants volunteered to submit quarterly pet spot-on product incident and sales data for 2016`\n- `Manufacturers of all spot-on products with registrations are required to submit enhanced reporting`\n- `Enhanced Incident Reporting Template (XLSX)`\n- `Sales Reporting Template (XLSX)`\n","sources":["US EPA pet pesticide pages — Use of Standardized Templates to Report Pet Spot-on Incidents: Conclusion of Pilot and Implementation Strategy (retrieved 2026-08-11)"],"source":{"authority":"US EPA pet pesticide pages","title":"Use of Standardized Templates to Report Pet Spot-on Incidents: Conclusion of Pilot and Implementation Strategy","url":"https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/use-standardized-templates-report-pet-spot-incidents-conclusion-pilot-and-implementation","retrieved":"2026-08-11","ref":"","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"US EPA — Use of Standardized Templates to Report Pet Spot-on Incidents: Conclusion of Pilot and Implementation Strategy","verification_file":"pdf-parsed/epa/pet-spot-incident-report-templates.txt"},"source_document":"US EPA — Use of Standardized Templates to Report Pet Spot-on Incidents: Conclusion of Pilot and Implementation Strategy","source_file":"pdf-parsed/epa/pet-spot-incident-report-templates.txt","trust":{"authority_tier":"ungraded","fidelity":"verbatim","license":"public_domain","display_grade":"pending"},"tokens_estimated":240,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
