The Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is entrusted with 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 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.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

The proposed consent decree would settle Plaintiff’s claims in a title V deadline suit under section 505(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act concerning seven administrative petitions to object to seven title V permits issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for seven coal-fired power plants located in Pennsylvania. The proposed consent decree would require EPA to sign its responses for two of Plaintiff’s petitions by July 31, 2014, or within 30 days of the entry of this Consent Decree, whichever is later. The proposed consent decree also includes terms that allow EPA to defer action on the other five petitions. Once EPA has signed its responses, EPA would be required to deliver notice of its responses to the Office of the Federal Register for publication within 10 business days of signature. In addition, the proposed consent decree would require EPA to transmit its determination to Sierra Club within 5 business days of signature and, if such determination contains an objection in whole or in part, to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection. Under the proposed consent decree, once EPA has met all of its obligations, and any claims by Plaintiffs for costs of litigation have been resolved pursuant to the process provided in the proposed consent decree, either party may move the Court to terminate the consent decree.

For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the proposed consent decree 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 consent decree 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 the consent decree should be withdrawn, the terms of the decree will be affirmed.
