II. Background 

The PPDC is a federal advisory 

committee chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public 

Law 92–463. EPA established the PPDC 

in September 1995, 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. 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. 

The PPDC usually meets face-to-face 

twice a year, generally in the spring and 

the fall. Additionally, members may be 

asked serve on work groups to develop 

recommendations to address specific 

policy issues. The average workload for 

members is approximately 4 to 6 hours 

per month. PPDC members may receive 

travel and per diem allowances where 

appropriate and according to applicable 

federal travel regulations.
