Notice of Decision to Issue Permits for 

the Importation of Fresh False 

Coriander From Panama Into the 

Continental United States 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public of 

our decision to begin issuing permits for 

the importation into the continental 

United States of fresh false coriander 

from Panama. 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 application 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 false coriander from 

Panama. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 18, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

David Lamb, Import Specialist, 

Regulatory Coordination and 

Compliance, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River 

Road Unit 133, Riverdale, MD 20737– 

1236; (301) 734–4312. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under the regulations in ‘‘Subpart— 

Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–1 

through 319.56–50, referred to below as 

the regulations), the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

prohibits or restricts the importation of 

fruits and vegetables into the United 

States from certain parts of the world to 

prevent plant pests from being 

introduced into and spread within the 

United States. 

Section 319.56–4 contains a 

performance-based process for 

approving the importation of 

commodities that, based on the findings 

of a pest-risk analysis, can be safely 

imported subject to one or more of the 

designated phytosanitary measures 

listed in paragraph (b) of that section. 

Under that process, APHIS publishes a 

notice in the Federal Register 

announcing the availability of the pest 

risk analysis that evaluates the risks 

associated with the importation of a 

particular fruit or vegetable. Following 

the close of the 60-day comment period, 

APHIS may begin issuing permits for 

importation of the fruit or vegetable 

subject to the identified designated 

measures if: (1) No comments were 

received on the pest risk analysis; (2) 

the comments on the pest risk analysis 

revealed that no changes to the pest risk 

analysis were necessary; or (3) changes 

to the pest risk analysis were made in 

response to public comments, but the 

changes did not affect the overall 

conclusions of the analysis and the 

Administrator’s determination of risk. 

In accordance with that process, we 

published a notice1 in the Federal 

Register on February 9, 2010 (75 FR 

6345–6346, Docket No. APHIS–2009– 

0092), in which we announced the 

availability, for review and comment, of 

a pest risk analysis that evaluates the 

risks associated with the importation 

into the continental United States of 

fresh false coriander from Panama. We 

solicited comments on the notice for 60 

days ending on April 12, 2010. We 

received no comments by that date. 

Therefore, in accordance with the 

regulations in § 319.56-4(c)(2)(ii), we are 

announcing our decision to begin 

issuing permits for the importation into 

the continental United States of fresh 

false coriander from Panama subject to 

the following phytosanitary measures: 

∑ Each shipment of false coriander is 

subject to inspection upon arrival in the 

United States and must comply with all 

applicable provisions of § 319.56–3. 

∑ Each shipment of false coriander 

must be accompanied by a 

phytosanitary certificate bearing the 

following additional declaration: ‘‘The 

false coriander in this consignment has 

been inspected and found free of Nysius 

simulans.’’ 

∑ The false coriander must be a 

commercial consignment as defined in 

7 CFR 319.56–2. 

These conditions will be listed in the 

Fruits and Vegetables Import 

Requirements database available at 

(http://www.aphis.usda.gov/favir) . In 

addition to those specific measures, the 

fresh false coriander will be subject to 

the general requirements listed in 

§ 319.56–3 that are applicable to the 

importation of all fruits and vegetables. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 450, 7701–7772, and 

7781–7786; 21 U.S.C. 136 and 136a; 7 CFR 

2.22, 2.80, and 371.3. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 14th day 

of June 2010.

General Provisions for Domestic 

Fisheries; Application for Exempted 

Fishing Permits 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Assistant Regional 

Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries, 

Northeast Region, NMFS (Assistant 

Regional Administrator), has made a 

preliminary determination that an 

Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) 

application contains all of the required 

information and warrants further 

consideration. This EFP would allow 

one commercial fishing vessel to fish 

outside of the limited access scallop 

days at sea (DAS) program in support of 

research conducted by the Coonamessett 

Farm Foundation. The Assistant 

Regional Administrator has made a 

preliminary determination that the 

activities authorized under this EFP 

would be consistent with the goals and 

objectives of the Atlantic sea scallop 

Fishery Management Plan (FMP). 

However, further review and 

consultation may be necessary before a 

final determination is made to issue an
