Notice of Decision to Issue Permits for the Importation of Wall Rocket Leaves from the United 
Kingdom into the Continental United States (APHIS-2010-0027)  
 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 wa ll rocket leaves from the United Kingdom.  Based 
on the findings of a pest risk analysis, which we ma de 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 wall rocket leaves from the United Kingdom. 
 This notice is available in English at:  Fe deral Register:  23 November 2010 (Volume 75, 
Number 225) Notices Pages 71415-71416.  To view online, go to http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/advanced.html
, select 2010 FR Vol. 75, and type "page 71415" in the 
search box (with quotation marks). 
 This action is subsequent to a notice publishe d in the Federal Register on 8 July 2010 (75 FR 
39203-39204, Docket No. APHIS-2010-0027) in which we  announced the availability, for review and 
comment, of a PRA that evaluates the risks associat ed with the importation into the continental United 
States of wall rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L )) leaves from the United Kingdom.  (To view this 
notice online, go to http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/advanced.html , select 2010 FR Vol. 75, and type 
"page 39203" in the search box (with quotation mark s)).  We solicited comments on the notice for 60 
days ending on 7 September 2010.  We received one comment by that date, from a State department
