Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 93 / Tuesday, May 13, 2008 / Notices 27537 

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 November 

2, 2007, 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 PPDC: Pesticide industry and trade 

associations; environmental/public 

interest, consumer, and animal rights 

groups; farm worker organizations; 

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.
