The Charter for EPA’s 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 28, 2011, for another 2-year period. The purpose of PPDC is to provide advice

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.
