Notice of Decision To Issue Permits for the Importation of Fresh Mango Fruit From Pakistan Into the 
Continental United States (APHIS-2010-0065)  
 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 mango fruit from Pakistan.  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 mango fruit from Pakistan. 
 This notice is available in English at:  Federal Register:  27 August 2010 (Volume 75, 
Number 166) Notices Pages 52712-52713.  To view online, go to 
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/advanced.html
, select 2010 FR Vol. 75, and type "page 52712" in the 
search box (with quotation marks). 
 This action is subsequent to a notice publishe d in the Federal Register on 17 June 2010 (75 
FR 75 FR 34422, Docket No. APHIS-2010-0065), in which we announced the availability, for review 
and comment, of a pest risk analysis that evaluat es the risks associated with  the importation into the 
continental United States of fresh mango fruit from Pakistan.  (To view this notice online, go to 
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/advanced.html , select 2010 FR Vol. 75, and type "page 34422" in the 
search box (with quotation marks)).  We solicite d comments on the notice for 60 days ending on 
16 August 2010.  We received 19 comments by that date, from nurseries, exporters, private citizens, a 
marketing agency, and a State department of ag riculture. All of the commenters supported the 
importation of fresh mango fruit from Pakistan under th e conditions described in the risk management 
document.
