 Proposed Rule;  Correction:  Importation of Blue berries from South Africa, Uruguay, and Argentina 
with Cold Treatment  
  SUMMARY:  APHIS is correcting an error in its proposed rule to amend the regulations to 
allow the importation into the continental United States of fresh blueberries from South Africa and 
Uruguay under certain conditions and to allow the use of cold treatment for blueberries imported into 
the United States from Argentina.  The proposed ru le was published in the Federal Register on 
5 June 2007 (72 FR 30979-30984, Docket No. APHIS 2007-0061).  
 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  On 5 J une 2007, APHIS published in the Federal 
Register (72 FR 30979-30984, Docket No. APHIS-2007-0061), a proposed rule to allow the importation into the continental United States of  fresh blueberries from South Africa and Uruguay 
under certain conditions.  As a condition of entry,  the blueberries would have to undergo cold 
treatment and would have to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization (NPPO) of the exporting  country.  In addition, APHIS proposed to allow 
the use of cold treatment for blueberries im ported into the United States from Argentina. 
  In two places in the Supplementary Informati on section of the proposed rule and in one place 
in the regulatory text, APHIS stated that it would require shipments of blueberries from South Africa and Uruguay to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the NPPO of the importing 
country.  This information was incorrect.  APHIS s hould have stated that it would require shipments 
of blueberries from South Africa and Uruguay to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the NPPO of the exporting country.  This document corrects those errors.  Correction
