 Notice of Decision to Authorize the Importation of  Fresh Rambutan Fruit from Malaysia and Viet 
Nam (APHIS-2010-0104)  
 The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Se rvice (APHIS) of the US Department of 
Agriculture is advising the public of our decision to authorize the importation into the continental 
United States of fresh rambutan fruit (Nephelium lappaceum) from Malaysia and Viet Nam.  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 fresh rambutan fruit from Malaysia and Viet Nam. 
 This notice is available in English at:  Fe deral Register:  19 April 2011 (Volume 76, Number 
75) Notices Pages 21854-21855.  To view online, go to http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/advanced.html

 This action is subsequent to a notice publis hed in the Federal Register on 15 December 2010 
(75 FR 78207-78208, Docket No. APHIS-2010-0104), in which we a nnounced 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 rambutan fru it (Nephelium lappaceum) from Malaysia and Viet 
Nam.  (To view this notice online, go to http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/advanced.html , select 2010 FR 
Vol. 75, and type "page 78207" in the search box (with quotation marks)).  We solicited comments on 
the notice for 60 days ending on February 14, 2011.  We  received two comments by that date, from a
