[Docket No. APHIS-2010-0074] 

Notice of Availability of Pest Risk 

Analyses for the Importation of Fresh 

Celery, Arugula, and Spinach From 

Colombia 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that we have prepared three pest risk 

analyses that evaluate, respectively, the 

risks associated with the importation 

into the continental United States of 

fresh celery, arugula, and spinach from 

Colombia. Based on these analyses, 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 celery, arugula, and 

spinach from Colombia. We are making 

these pest risk analyses available to the 

public for review and comment. 

DATES: We will consider all comments 

that we receive on or before October 25, 

2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by either of the following methods:

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. 

These measures are: 

∑ The fruits or vegetables are subject 

to inspection upon arrival in the United 

States and comply with all applicable 

provisions of § 319.56-3; 

∑ The fruits or vegetables are 

imported from a pest-free area in the 

country of origin that meets the 

requirements of § 319.56-5 for freedom 

from that pest and are accompanied by 

a phytosanitary certificate stating that 

the fruits or vegetables originated in a 

pest-free area in the country of origin; 

∑ The fruits or vegetables are treated 

in accordance with 7 CFR part 305; 

∑ The fruits or vegetables are 

inspected in the country of origin by an 

inspector or an official of the national 

plant protection organization of the 

exporting country, 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/or 

∑ The fruits or vegetables are a 

commercial consignment. 

APHIS received a request from the 

Government of Colombia to allow the 

importation of fresh celery, arugula, and 

spinach from Colombia into the 

continental United States. We have 

completed a pest risk assessment for 

each of those commodities to identify 

pests of quarantine significance that 

could follow the pathway of importation 

into the United States and, based on 

those pest risk assessments, have 

prepared three risk management 

documents to identify phytosanitary 

measures that could be applied to fresh 

celery, arugula, and spinach from 

Colombia to mitigate the pest risk. We 

have concluded that fresh celery, 

arugula, and spinach can be safely 

imported into the continental United 

States from Colombia using one or more 

of the five designated phytosanitary 

measures listed in § 319.56-4(b). 

Therefore, in accordance with § 319.56- 

4(c), we are announcing the availability 

of our pest risk analyses for public 

review and comment. The pest risk 

analyses 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 pest risk analyses by 

calling or writing to the person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. Please refer to the subject of 

the pest risk analysis you wish to review 

when requesting copies. 

After reviewing any comments we 

receive, we will announce our decision 

regarding the import status of fresh 

celery, arugula, and spinach from 

Colombia in a subsequent notice. If the 

overall conclusions of the analyses and 

the Administrator’s determination of 

risk remain unchanged following our 

consideration of the comments, then we 

will begin issuing permits for 

importation of fresh celery, arugula, and 

spinach from Colombia into the 

continental United States subject to the 

requirements specified in the risk 

management documents.
