help ensure the safety of the American 

food supply, the education and 

protection from unreasonable risk of 

those who apply or are exposed to 

pesticides occupationally or through use 

of products, and general protection of 

the environment and special ecosystems 

from potential risks posed by pesticides. 

The Charter for the Environmental 

Protection Agency’s Pesticide Program 

Dialogue Committee (PPDC) was 

established under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92– 

463, in September 1995, and has been 

renewed every 2 years since that time. 

PPDC’s Charter was renewed October 

25, 2013, for another 2-year period. The 

purpose of PPDC is to provide advice 

and recommendations to the EPA 

Administrator on issues associated with 

pesticide regulatory development and 

reform initiatives, evolving public 

policy and program implementation 

issues, and science issues associated 

with evaluating and reducing risks from 

use of pesticides. It is determined that 

PPDC is in the public interest in 

connection with the performance of 

duties imposed on the Agency by law. 

The following sectors are represented on 

the current PPDC: Environmental/public 

interest and animal rights groups; farm 

worker organizations; pesticide industry 

and trade associations; pesticide user, 

grower, and commodity groups; Federal 

and State/local/tribal governments; the 

general public; academia; and public 

health organizations. 

Copies of the PPDC Charter are filed 

with appropriate committees of 

Congress and the Library of Congress 

and are available upon request.
