II. Background 

The Office of Pesticide Programs is 

entrusted with the responsibility to help 

ensure the safety of the American food 

supply, protection and education of 

those who apply or are exposed to 

pesticides occupationally or through use 

of products, and the general protection 

of the environment and special 

ecosystems from potential risks posed 

by pesticides. 

PPDC was established under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), Public Law 92–463, in 

September 1995 for a 2–year term and 

has been renewed every 2 years since 

that time. PPDC provides advice and 

recommendations to OPP on a broad 

range of pesticide regulatory, policy, 

and program implementation issues that 

are associated with evaluating and 

reducing risks from use of pesticides. 

EPA is seeking to renew the current 

PPDC Charter, which expires in 

November 2007, for another 2–year 

term. EPA intends to appoint members 

to 2–year terms. An important 

consideration in EPA’s selection of 

members will be to maintain balance 

and diversity of experience and 

expertise. EPA also intends to seek 

broad geographic representation from 

the following sectors: Pesticide industry 

and trade associations; environmental/ 

public interest and consumer groups; 

farm worker organizations; pesticide 

user, grower, and commodity groups; 

Federal/State/local and Tribal 

governments; academia; and public 

health organizations; individuals who 

work on urban pest management issues; 

and the general public. 

Copies of the PPDC charter are filed 

with appropriate committees of 

Congress, the Library of Congress, and 

are available upon request.
