<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I too thank you for coordinating the list. It has been very helpful and will continue to be, even beyond the adoption of the EPA rules for businesses and institutions. The
opioid crisis is not going to go away, and this list has been instrumental in sharing best practices for pharmaceutical waste regulation, treatment, collection, destruction and reduction – as well as sharing general information about the impacts of pharmaceuticals
on the environment and communities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">As new technologies become available, it would be good to have vendors on the list. While vendors should be careful to offer facts and solutions and not sales pitches, we
need all voices to solve these problems collaboratively. I vote to continue the list and not exclude anyone sincerely interested in the public good.
