holidays. The telephone number for the 

Public Reading Room is (202) 566–1744, 

and the telephone number for the OPP 

Docket is (703) 305–5805. Please review 

the visitor instructions and additional 

information about the docket available 

at http://www.epa.gov/dockets. 

II. Background 

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 EPA’s PPDC was 

established under FACA, Public Law 

92–463 (5 U.S.C. Appendix), 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. 

III. How can I request to participate in 

this meeting? 

PPDC meetings are free, open to the 

public, and no advance registration 

required. Public comments may be 

made during the public comment 

session of each meeting or in writing to 

the person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

Technical Research Workshop 

Supporting EPA and NHTSA Phase 2 

Standards for MD/HD Greenhouse Gas 

and Fuel Efficiency 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of public workshop. 

SUMMARY: EPA and NHTSA are 

sponsoring a technical workshop on 

December 10 and 11, 2014, at Southwest 

Research Institute (SwRI) in San 

Antonio, Texas. SwRI researchers will 

present technical work completed under 

the direction of EPA and NHTSA to 

assist in developing Phase 2 mediumand heavy-duty GHG and fuel efficiency 

standards. 

DATES: The workshop will be held at 

Southwest Research Institute December 

10 and 11, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held 

at Southwest Research Institute, 6220 

Culebra Road, San Antonio, Texas 

78238, 210–684–5111. A complimentary 

shuttle will be provided to and from 

Courtyard by Marriott San Antonio 

SeaWorld/Westover Hills, 11605 State 

Hwy 151, San Antonio, TX 78251, (210)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA and 

NHTSA are sponsoring a technical 

workshop on December 10 and 11, 2014, 

at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) 

in San Antonio, Texas. SwRI researchers 

will present technical work completed 

under the direction of EPA and NHTSA 

to assist in developing Phase 2 mediumand heavy-duty GHG and fuel efficiency 

standards. 

This technical work includes testing 

conducted over-the-road and on heavyduty chassis dynamometers, powertrain 

test cells, and engine test cells. This 

work has been conducted to advance 

test procedure development and 

validate refinements that agencies have 

been considering for the greenhouse gas 

emissions model (GEM) used for heavyduty vehicle certification. Aerodynamic 

tractor testing via both coast-down and 

constant-speed test procedures will also 

be presented, in addition to results from 

recent heavy-duty engine and vehicle 

technology modeling. SwRI will also 

describe simulation studies to look at 

the potential fuel saving performance of 

numerous MD/HD engine and vehicle 

technologies. 

This workshop will not include 

discussion of policy considerations such 

as Phase 2 program stringency or 

program structure. Rather, this 

workshop is an opportunity for 

interested stakeholders and individuals 

to learn more about recent EPA and 

NHTSA sponsored technical research, to 

engage directly with the SwRI 

researchers who have been conducting 

this work, and to provide initial 

feedback on work conducted to date. 

All interested parties are welcome to 

attend. See http://epa.gov/otaq/climate/ 

regs-heavy-duty.htm for the agenda, 

schedule, and information regarding 

online registration. There is no 

registration fee.
