Comment 1: As this will directly affect the already hard to pay animal costs for biomedical research, more time is needed to obtain quality input as to which guidelines might need to be updated if any. Comment 2: Before a more thorough interaction has taken place with all involved parties, it seems premature to incorporate recommendations as basis of new guidelines. Again, if the end result is simply even higher per diem costs it will harm the public who is benefitting from this research as well as the biomedical researchers and the institutes they work at.
