AmericanHort requests EPA to Extend Comment Period for Draft Insecticide Strategy

AmericanHort, along with the fellow members of the Pesticide Policy Coalition (PPC), submitted a letter to EPA Deputy Assistant Administration Jake Li of the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, requesting that EPA offer an extension from 60 days to 90 days for the public comment period for the Draft Insecticide Strategy that was released in late July. The PPC represents agriculture, food, fiber, public health, pest management, landscape, environmental, and related industries, including small businesses/entities, which are dependent on the availability of pesticides. Our coalition supports the development and implementation of public policies and laws that utilize the best available science and technology to ensure protection of human health and the environment.
