Dear Mr. Keigwin:
On behalf of S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc., (SC Johnson) I am writing to convey my full and strong support for the nomination of Rachel M. Callies to serve on the EPA's Pesticide Program Dialogue Committee (PPDC). Rachel has forwarded her nomination to Dea Zimmerman, as required by EPA's March 22, 2017 Federal Register notice (EPA-HQ-OPP-2017-0042).
The PPDC is a unique forum that brings together a diverse group of stakeholders to provide advice and recommendations to the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) on a variety of issues related to the development and implementation of pesticide policy and regulation. As Manager of North American Product Registration for SC Johnson, Rachel leads the company's efforts to achieve and maintain compliance with U.S. and international registration requirements. She would bring to the PPDC a wealth of pesticide regulatory and policy experience, as well as keen insights into how consumers view and use pesticide products. I'm confident her knowledge and experience will be quite helpful to OPP in making sound regulatory decisions affecting consumer pesticides, especially those that deliver significant public health benefits.
Additionally, Rachel has solid experience collating global efficacy and chemistry standards for the development and submission of globally harmonized methods to both U.S. EPA and the OECD, providing her a unique view of the global regulatory landscape - an attribute I'm certain OPP will find of value as the agency further drives harmonization between U.S. and E.U. registration requirements.
Membership in the PPDC also exposes SC Johnson to the perspectives of other important stakeholders who share our interest in creating effective federal pesticide policy. We believe sound public policy results when there is constructive dialogue between those representing differing points of view, including EPA, the regulated community, public interest groups, academia, and state and local governments. Appointing Rachel to the PPDC will give us the opportunity to seek common ground among a variety of stakeholders who share our goal of protecting human health and the environment through balanced and effective pesticide regulation.
SC Johnson takes it responsibility as a registrant very seriously and we welcome the opportunity for greater engagement with OPP through a seat on the PPDC. Accordingly, I respectfully urge favorable consideration of Rachel Callies' nomination to serve on the PPDC.
Thank you for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Deb Fiddelke Senior Director, Global Government Relations
