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

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

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.
