Notice of Decision to Issue Permits for the Importa tion of Fresh Strawberries from Jordan into the 
Continental United States (APHIS-2010-0096)  
 The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Se rvice (APHIS) of the US Department of 
Agriculture is advising the public of the Agency 's decision to begin issuing permits for the 
importation into the continental United States of  fresh strawberries from Jordan.  Based on the 
findings of a pest risk analysis, which we made available to the public for review and comment 
through a previous notice, we believe that the a pplication of one or more designated phytosanitary 
measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of  introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious 
weeds via the importation of fresh strawberries from Jordan. 
 This notice is available in English at:  Fe deral Register:  16 February 2011 (Volume 76, 
Number 32) Notices Pages 8997-8998.  To view online, go to 
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/advanced.html , select 2011 FR Vol. 76, and type "8997" in the search

 This action is subsequent to a notice publishe d in the Federal Register on 12 October 2010 
(75 FR 62500-62501, Docket No. APHIS-2010-0096) in which we announced the availability, for 
review and comment, of a PRA that evaluates th e risks associated with the importation into the 
continental United States of fresh strawberries (F ragaria spp.) from Jordan.  (To view this notice 
online, go to http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/advanced.html , select 2010 FR Vol. 75, and type "62500" 
in the search box (with quotation marks)).  We solicited comments on the notice for 60 days ending 
on 13 December 2010.  We received one comment by that date, from a State department of 
agriculture.
