The following communication by the United States is being circulated:
_______________
Plant Pest Regulations; Update of Current Provisions - Notice of reopening and extension of comment
period.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA, is reopening and extending the
comment period for our proposed rule (notified as G/SPS/N/USA/507) that would revise our
regulations regarding the movement of plant pests by adding risk-based criteria for determining the
plant pest status of organisms, establishing a notifi cation process that could be used as an alternative
to the current permitting system, providing for the environmental release of organisms for the
biological control of weeds, and updating the text of the subpart.  This action will allow interested
persons additional time to prepare and submit comments.
APHIS invites you to comment.  We will consider all comments we receive that are
postmarked, delivered, or e-mailed by 6 February 2002.
