4. ALSTAR Development Goals • To provide a secure standardized process for the submission of electronic documents including product labels from registrants to the state regulatory agencies • To create a process for regulatory agencies to easily manage a repository of state-specific approved or accepted labels • To design an application that is dynamic enough in nature to allow for growth as future goals are defined
