used by consumers as tools, to assist
them in differentiating between similar
types of products based on distinct,
verifiable criteria. For example, a logo
from the National Organic Standards
Board could assist a grower seeking to
obtain or maintain organic certification
for his/her farm. Labels could provide
information about the comparative
safety of the product as well as about its
potential environmental impact,
allowing consumers to choose among
products based on their preferences.
Along with the recommendations from
the PPDC work group, EPA will
consider the potential risks associated
with including these types of statements
on pesticide labeling and the proper role
of government in this type of program
before deciding whether or not to revise
the current regulations.
In summary, the Agency is committed
to ensuring that pesticide labeling is
utilized as a tool to communicate
critical information to the user how to
use the product safely and effectively. In
order to ensure that protection of public
health and the environment remain the
top priorities for EPA, we are not
encouraging submissions of any label
claims that detract or distract from the
use and safety instructions or that could
be considered false or misleading. We
remain committed to programs and
initiatives designed to improve the
content, organization and enforceability
of pesticide labeling.

FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Docket No. 08–05]
City of Los Angeles, CA, Harbor
Department of the City of Los Angeles,
Board of Harbor Commissioners of the
City of Los Angeles, City of Long
Beach, California, Harbor Department
of the City of Long Beach, and the
Board of Harbor Commissioners of the
City of Long Beach—Possible
Violations of Sections 10(B)(10),
10(D)(1) and 10(D)(4) of the Shipping
Act of 1984; Order of Investigation and
Hearing
On November 20, 2006, the governing
boards of the Ports of Los Angeles and
Long Beach voted to approve the San
Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan
(‘‘CAAP’’). The CAAP is a broad effort
aimed at significantly reducing the
health risks posed by air pollution from
* Session Closed-Exempt pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(8) and (9).

port-related ships, trains, drayage
trucks, terminal equipment and harbor
craft by at least 45 percent in five years.
To that end, each port has adopted a
Clean Truck Program (‘‘CTP’’) as a
component of the CAAP to address air
pollution caused by the short haul
truckers that transport containers to and
from the ports, i.e., the harbor truck
drayage system. Each port’s CTP
becomes effective on October 1, 2008.
The Federal Maritime Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is responsible for
enforcing the requirements of the
Shipping Act of 1984, as amended by
the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1998
(‘‘Shipping Act’’). 46 U.S.C. 40101 et
seq. As the ports of Los Angeles and
Long Beach operate as marine terminal
operators (‘‘MTOs’’) under the Shipping
Act, their actions, to the extent they
impact international transportation, are
subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction
and, in particular, to the requirements of
section 10 of the Shipping Act.1
While the Commission appreciates
the significant environmental and
public health benefits of the San Pedro
Ports CAAP, it is concerned that certain
aspects of the ports’ CTPs may violate
the Shipping Act. Accordingly, the
Commission has determined to initiate
an Investigation and Hearing of the
Ports’ Clean Truck Programs under
section 11 of the Shipping Act with
respect to possible violations under
section 10 of the Shipping Act.
San Pedro Bay Ports
The Port of Los Angeles (‘‘POLA’’),
referred to as the Los Angeles Harbor
Department, is a self-supporting
department of the City of Los Angeles,
California. POLA is under the control of
a five-member Board of Harbor
Commissioners appointed by the mayor
of Los Angeles and approved by the City
Council, and is administered by an
executive director.2 POLA is the largest
container port in the United States.
POLA’s annual loaded container volume
for 2007 was 5.7 million twenty-foot
equivalent units (‘‘TEUs’’).
The Port of Long Beach (‘‘POLB’’) has
an administrative structure similar to
1 Section 10(d)(1) requires MTOs to establish,
observe, and enforce just and reasonable regulations
and practices relating to or connected with
receiving, handling, storing, or delivering property.
46 U.S.C. 41102(c). Section 10(d)(4) provides that
an MTO may not give any undue or unreasonable
preference or advantage or impose any undue or
unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage with
respect to any person. 46 U.S.C. 41106(2). An MTO
may not unreasonably refuse to deal or negotiate.
46 U.S.C. 41106(3).
2 For the purposes of this order, the City of Los
Angeles, the Harbor Department of the City of Los
Angeles and the Board of Harbor Commissioners of
the City of Los Angeles will be referred to as the
Port of Los Angeles or POLA.
