Importation of French Beans and 

Runner Beans From the Republic of 

Kenya Into the United States 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: We are proposing to amend 

the fruits and vegetables regulations to 

allow the importation of French beans 

and runner beans from the Republic of 

Kenya into the United States. As a 

condition of entry, both commodities 

would have to be produced in 

accordance with a systems approach 

that would include requirements for 

packing, washing, and processing. Both 

commodities would also be required to 

be accompanied by a phytosanitary 

certificate attesting that all 

phytosanitary requirements have been 

met and that the consignment was 

inspected and found free of quarantine 

pests. This action would allow for the 

importation of French beans and runner 

beans from the Republic of Kenya into 

the United States while continuing to 

provide protection against the 

introduction of plant pests. 

DATES: We will consider all comments 

that we receive on or before May 24,
