Addendum

Notice of Decision to Authorize the Importation of  Fresh Cape Gooseberry Fruit with Husks from 
Chile (Docket No. APHIS-2010-0023) 
 The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Serv ice is advising the public of our decision to 
authorize the importation into the continental United States of fresh Cape gooseberry fruit ( Physalis 
peruviana  L.) with husks from Chile. Based on the findings of a pest risk analysis, which we made 
available to the public for review and comment th rough a previous notice, we concluded that the 
application of one or more desi gnated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks 
of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation of fresh Cape 
gooseberry fruit from Chile. 
 This notice is available in English at:

comment, of a PRA that evaluates the risks associat ed with the importation into the continental United 
States of fresh Cape gooseberry fruit ( Physalis peruviana  L.) with husks from Chile.  We solicited 
comments on the notice for 60 days ending on 11 Oc tober 2011.  We did not  receive any comments
