Following some questions we posed about the efficacy and legality of the Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher (“CNPV”) Program (the “CNPV Program” or “the Program”) in our 2026 Top of Mind Publication, it is again time to ponder the Program’s future, now that its purported champion, former U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA” or the “Agency”) Commissioner, Marty Makary, M.D. (“Dr. Makary”) is out of office. When Dr. Makary resigned earlier this month, he left behind an agency in transition, replete with a portfolio of ambitious reform initiatives that now face an uncertain future.

Federal Regulatory Response To New World Screwworm And Implications For The Agricultural And Animal Health Industries
The New World screwworm (NWS), Cochliomyia hominivorax, is a parasitic fly whose larvae burrow into the flesh of warm-blooded animals, feeding on healthy tissue and causing myiasis that is often fatal if left untreated. NWS can infest livestock, pets, wildlife and, in rare cases, people. Although long eradicated from the United States, NWS has moved northward through Central America and Mexico in recent years, prompting a sweeping multiagency federal response.
