and accompanied by a phytosanitary 

certificate issued by the NPPO stating 

that the fresh flowers of izote or 

immature inflorescences of pacaya in 

that consignment have been inspected 

and found free of the gray pineapple 

mealybug or the bean slug; and (2) Each 

shipment is subject to inspection upon 

arrival at the port of entry in the United 

States. Inspection is considered effective 

at finding external feeding pests such as 

the gray pineapple mealybug and the 

bean slug and excluding infested 

shipments from entering commerce. The 

symptoms of such infestations are 

macroscopic in nature. Gray pineapple 

mealybug infestation causes wilt, which 

is characterized by discoloration of 

leaves to yellows or reds and the loss of 

rigidity in leaves. Bean slug infestation 

is accompanied by leaf damage, which 

is the result of feeding. 

Therefore, in accordance with the 

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

announcing our decision to authorize 

the importation into the United States of 

fresh edible flowers of izote, immature 

inflorescences of pacaya, immature 

inflorescences of chufle, and fresh 

leaves of chipilin from El Salvador 

provided that: 

• The flowers, immature 

inflorescences, or leaves are subject to 

inspection upon arrival in the United 

States and comply with all applicable 

provisions of 319.56–3; 

• The flowers, immature 

inflorescences, or leaves are inspected 

in the country of origin by an inspector 

or an official of the NPPO of El 

Salvador, and have been found free of 

one or more specific quarantine pests 

identified by the risk assessment as 

likely to follow the import pathway; and 

• The flowers, immature 

inflorescences, or leaves are imported as 

commercial consignments only. 

These conditions will be listed in the 

Fruits and Vegetables Import 

Requirements database (available at 

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

addition to these specific measures, the 

fresh edible flowers of izote, immature 

inflorescences of pacaya, immature 

inflorescences of chufle, and fresh 

leaves of chipilin from El Salvador will 

be subject to the general requirements 

listed in 319.56–3 that are applicable to 

the importation of all fruits and 

vegetables.

Plants for Planting Whose Importation 

Is Not Authorized Pending Pest Risk 

Analysis; Notice of Availability of Data 

Sheets for Taxa of Plants for Planting 

That Are Quarantine Pests or Hosts of 

Quarantine Pests 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that we have determined that 41 taxa of 

plants for planting are quarantine pests 

and 107 taxa of plants for planting are 

hosts of 13 quarantine pests and 

therefore should be added to our lists of 

taxa of plants for planting whose 

importation is not authorized pending 

pest risk analysis. We have prepared 

data sheets that detail the scientific 

evidence we evaluated in making the 

determination that the taxa are 

quarantine pests or hosts of quarantine 

pests. We are making these data sheets 

available to the public for review and 

comment. 

DATES: We will consider all comments 

that we receive on or before September 

26, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under the regulations in ‘‘Subpart— 

Plants for Planting’’ (7 CFR 319.37 

through 319.37–14, 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 

plants for planting (including living 

plants, plant parts, seeds, and plant 

cuttings) to prevent the introduction of 

quarantine pests into the United States. 

Quarantine pest is defined in § 319.37– 

1 as a plant pest or noxious weed that 

is of potential economic importance to 

the United States and not yet present in 

the United States, or present but not 

widely distributed and being officially 

controlled. 

In a final rule published in the 

Federal Register on May 27, 2011 (76 

FR 31172–31210, Docket No. APHIS– 

2006–0011), and effective on June 27, 

2011, we established in § 319.37–2a a 

new category of plants for planting 

whose importation is not authorized 

pending pest risk analysis (NAPPRA) in 

order to prevent the introduction of 

quarantine pests into the United States. 

The final rule established two lists of 

taxa whose importation is NAPPRA: A 

list of taxa of plants for planting that are 

quarantine pests, and a list of taxa of 

plants for planting that are hosts of 

quarantine pests. For taxa of plants for 

planting that have been determined to 

be quarantine pests, the list will include 

the names of the taxa. For taxa of plants 

for planting that are hosts of quarantine 

pests, the list will include the names of 

the taxa, the foreign places from which 

the taxa’s importation is not authorized, 

and the quarantine pests of concern. 

The final rule did not add any taxa to 

the NAPPRA lists. 

Paragraph (b) of § 319.37–2a describes 

the process for adding taxa to the 

NAPPRA lists. In accordance with that 

process, this notice announces our 

determination that 41 taxa of plants for 

planting are quarantine pests and 107 

taxa of plants for planting are hosts of 

13 quarantine pests. 

This notice also makes available data 

sheets that detail the scientific evidence 

we evaluated in making the 

determination that the taxa are 

quarantine pests or hosts of a quarantine 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 143 / Tuesday, July 26, 2011 / Notices 44573 

pest. The data sheets include references 

to the scientific evidence we used in 

making these determinations. 

A complete list of the taxa of plants 

for planting that we have determined to 

be quarantine pests or hosts of 

quarantine pests, along with the data 

sheets supporting those determinations, 

may be viewed on the Regulations.gov 

Web site or in our reading room (see 

ADDRESSES above for a link to 

Regulations.gov and information on the 

location and hours of the reading room). 

You may request paper copies of the list 

and data sheets by calling or writing to 

the person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

For taxa of plants for planting that are 

hosts of quarantine pests, the data 

sheets specify the countries from which 

the taxa’s importation would not be 

authorized pending pest risk analysis. In 

most cases, the importation of the taxa 

would not be allowed from any country. 

In some cases, the taxa would be 

allowed to be imported from Canada. 

We would allow such importation when 

Canada is free of the quarantine pest for 

which the taxa are hosts and when 

Canada’s import regulations and our 

restrictions specific to Canada ensure 

that the pest would not be introduced 

into the United States through the 

importation of the taxa from Canada. 

In a few cases, the taxa would be 

allowed to be imported from countries 

that are currently exporting the taxa to 

the United States, subject to restrictions 

in a Federal Order that was issued 

previously. We would continue to allow 

such importation based on our 

experience with importing those taxa of 

plants for planting and our findings, 

through inspection, that they are 

generally pest free, and based on our 

determination that the restrictions in the 

Federal Order are sufficient to mitigate 

the risk associated with the quarantine 

pest in question. 

After reviewing any comments we 

receive, we will announce our decision 

regarding the addition of the taxa 

described in the data sheets to the 

NAPPRA lists in a subsequent notice. If 

the Administrator’s determination that 

the taxa are quarantine pests or hosts of 

quarantine pests remains unchanged 

following our consideration of the 

comments, then we will add the taxa 

described in the data sheets to the 

appropriate NAPPRA list.
