This week, IFCA joined a coalition letter to EPA requesting an extension to the Draft Insecticide Strategy comment period by 90 days to give stakeholders an appropriate amount of time to review the extensive strategy, which would "profoundly and fundamentally alter the continued ability to access and use insecticides."

EPA responded in record time (3 days) with a rejection of the request by IFCA and 239 organizations to extend the comment period beyond Sept. 23rd.
