Abstract
In the Federal Register of July 2, 2024, EPA announced the availability of and solicited public comment on a framework for expanding interagency collaboration to improve the communication and knowledge base within the federal family to fully consider potential adverse impact of pesticides on efficacy of human and animal drugs. In particular, the use of antifungal and antibacterial pesticides, that can potentially lead to resistance in human and animal pathogens and may compromise the effectiveness of medically important antibacterial and antifungal drugs. This document extends the comment period, which was scheduled to end on August 1, 2024, for 14 days.
