II. Background 

EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs 

(OPP) is entrusted with the 

responsibility to 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 EPA’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 30, 2009, 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 PPDC: Pesticide 

industry and trade associations; 

environmental/public interest, 

consumer, and animal rights groups; 

farm worker organizations; 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Settlement Agreement 

The proposed settlement agreement 

would resolve a lawsuit seeking to 

compel the Administrator to take 

various actions related to whether six 

areas: (1) Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, 

(2) Baltimore, (3) New York-Northern 

New Jersey-Long Island, (4) Springfield 

(Western Massachusetts), (5) Greater 

Connecticut, and (6) Boston-LawrenceWorcester, which are designated as 

nonattainment for ozone, attained the 1- 

hour ozone NAAQS by the applicable 

attainment date. 

The proposed settlement agreement 

provides various dates by which EPA 

must propose a determination and make 

a final determination as to whether each 

area previously listed has attained the 1- 

hour ozone standard by its 1-hour ozone 

attainment date. No later than 15 

business days following signature on 

each notice related to a proposed or 

final determination specified in the 

proposed settlement agreement, EPA is 

required to send the notice to the Office 

of the Federal Register for review and 

publication in the Federal Register. 

After EPA fulfills all of its obligations 

under the agreement Sierra Club and 

EPA agree to file a joint motion for 

dismissal, with prejudice. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will accept written 

comments relating to the proposed 

settlement agreement from persons who 

were not named as parties or 

intervenors to the litigation in question. 

EPA or the Department of Justice may 

withdraw or withhold consent to the 

proposed settlement agreement if the 

comments disclose facts or 

considerations that indicate that such 

consent is inappropriate, improper, 

inadequate, or inconsistent with the 

requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or 

the Department of Justice determines 

that consent to this settlement 

agreement should be withdrawn, the 

terms of the agreement will be affirmed. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed 

Settlement Agreement 

A. How can I get a copy of the 

settlement agreement? 

The official public docket for this 

action (identified by Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OGC–2011–0765) contains a 

copy of the proposed settlement 

agreement. The official public docket is 

available for public viewing at the 

Office of Environmental Information 

(OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket Center, 

EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, 

DC. The EPA Docket Center Public 

Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

excluding legal holidays. The telephone 

number for the Public Reading Room is 

(202) 566–1744, and the telephone 

number for the OEI Docket is (202) 566– 

1752. 

An electronic version of the public 

docket is available through http:// 

www.regulations.gov. You may use 

http://www.regulations.gov to submit or 

view public comments, access the index 

listing of the contents of the official 

public docket, and to access those 

documents in the public docket that are 

available electronically. Once in the 

system, key in the appropriate docket 

identification number then select 

‘‘search’’. 

It is important to note that EPA’s 

policy is that public comments, whether 

submitted electronically or in paper, 

will be made available for public 

viewing online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov without change, 

unless the comment contains 

copyrighted material, CBI, or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information 

claimed as CBI and other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute 

is not included in the official public 

docket or in the electronic public 

docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted 

material, including copyrighted material 

contained in a public comment, will not 

be placed in EPA’s electronic public 

docket but will be available only in 

printed, paper form in the official public 

docket. Although not all docket 

materials may be available 

electronically, you may still access any 

of the publicly available docket 

materials through the EPA Docket 

Center. 

B. How and to whom do I submit 

comments? 

You may submit comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an e-mail 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. This 

ensures that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the http://www.regulations.gov 

Web site to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, e-mail address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (e-mail) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system. If you send an e-mail comment 

directly to the Docket without going 

through http://www.regulations.gov, 

your e-mail address is automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the official 

public docket, and made available in 

EPA’s electronic public docket.

to: 

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• Follow directions—The agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives.
