 Decision to Authorize: Tejocote Fruit from Mexico (Document No. APHIS-2011-0077) 
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APH IS) is advising the public of our decision to 
authorize the importation into the continental United States of fresh tejocote fruit from Mexico. 
Based on the findings of a pest risk analysis, whic h we made available to the public for review and 
comment through a previous notice, we have determined that the application of one or more 
designated phytosanitary measures will be suffic ient to mitigate the risks of introducing or 
disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation of fresh tejocote fruit from Mexico.

APHIS published a notice in the Federal Register on 29 September 2011 (76 FR 60449-60450, 
Docket No. APHIS-2011-0077), in which we announ ced the availability, for review and comment, 
of a PRA that evaluated the risks associated with the importation into the continental United States 
of fresh tejocote fruit ( Crataegus pubescens ) from Mexico. The PRA consisted of a risk assessment 
identifying pests of quarantine significance that could follow the pathway of importation of fresh 
tejocote fruit from Mexico into the continental United States and a risk management document 
identifying phytosanitary measures to be applied to  that commodity to mitigate the pest risk. We 
solicited comments on the notice for 60 days ending on 28 November 2011. We received five 
comments by that date.
