 Notice of Affirmation of Revision of a Treatm ent Schedule for Hot Water Treatment of Mangoes 
(Docket No. APHIS-2015-0006) 
The Animal and Plant Inspection Service are affirming our earlier determination that it was 
necessary to immediately amend hot water treatment schedule T102-a in the Plant Protection and Quarantine Treatment Manual to extend the applicability of the treatment to additional mango 
commodities. In a previous notice, we made available to the public for review and comment a 
treatment evaluation document that described the revised treatment schedule and explained why 
we have determined that it  is effective at neutralizi ng certain target pests. 
This notice is available in English: http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=APHIS-2015-

Federal Register/Vol. 80, No. 149/Tuesday, 4 August 2015, pgs. 46236-pgs. 46237. 
We published a notice in the Federal Register on April 23, 2015 (80 FR 22702-22703, Docket 
No. APHIS-2015-0006), announcing our determination that a revised T102-a hot water treatment 
schedule is an efficacious phytosanitary treatment for eggs and larvae of Ceratitis capitata  and 
Anastrepha  spp. fruit flies in mangoes weighing 651 to 900 grams and that the treatment is 
effective for these oversized mangoes regardless of their country of origin. This determination was 
based on evidence presented in a treatment eval uation document (TED) we made available with 
the notice. The treatment was added to the PPQ Treatment Manual, but was subject to change 
based on public comment. We solicited comments on the notice for 60 days ending on 
22 June 2015. We received six comments by that date. 
To view the notice, a subsequent correction to that notice, the TED, and the comments we 
received, go to http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=APHIS-2015-0006 .
