commodities appears to be no longer 

necessary.2

Currently, fruit from New Zealand 

imported into the United States must be 

accompanied by a phytosanitary 

certificate with an additional 

declaration that the fruit is free of 

LBAM. However, under International 

Standards for Phytosanitary Measures 

20,3 APHIS cannot regulate an imported 

commodity for a specific pest more 

stringently than it regulates the 

commodity domestically unless this 

discrepancy is technically justified. 

However, based on the findings of PRAs 

cited in the commodity import 

evaluation document (CIED), APHIS has 

concluded that there is no technical 

basis for such a discrepancy, and 

consignments of commercially 

produced fresh fruit from New Zealand 

may safely be imported to the United 

States without significant risk of 

introducing LBAM. We propose, then, 

to no longer require the additional 

declaration of LBAM freedom for the 

following commodities imported from 

New Zealand into the United States: 

New Zealand: 

Apple—Malus domestica 

Apricot—Prunus armeniaca 

Avocado—Persea americana 

Blackberry—Rubus sp. 

Blueberry—Vaccinium angustifolium, 

Vaccinium ashei, Vaccinium 

corymbosum, Vaccinium virgatum 

Cherry—Prunus avium 

Currant—Ribes spp. 

Feijoa—Acca sellowiana 

Grapes—Vitis vinifera 

Kiwi—Actinidia spp. (A. deliciosa, A. 

arguta, A. chinensis, A. kolomikta, A. 

melanandra, A. polygama, A. 

rubricaulis var. coriacea 

Loquat—Eriobotrya japonica (Into Guam 

and CNMI) 

Nectarine—Prunus persica nucipersica 

Peach—Prunus persica var. persica 

Pear—Pyrus communis 

Plum—Prunus domestica ssp. 

domestica 

Raspberry—Rubus sp. 

Sand Pear—Pyrus pyrifolia var. culta 

Strawberry—Fragaria x ananassa 

Phytosanitary Certificate: If the 

consignment is not precleared, the 

consignment must be accompanied by a 

phytosanitary certificate issued by the 

National Plant Protection Organization 

(NPPO) of New Zealand. 

Citrus spp. 

Persimmon Diospyros kaki 

Phytosanitary Certificate: Citrus (or 

Persimmon) consignments must be 

accompanied by a phytosanitary 

certificate issued by the NPPO of New 

Zealand with an additional declaration 

stating the fruit is free of Cnephasia 

jactatana, Coscinoptycha improbana, 

Ctenopseustis obliquana, Pezothrips 

kellyanus, and Planotortrix excessana. 

In accordance with § 319.56–4(c)(3), 

we are announcing the availability of 

our CIED for public review and 

comment. This document, as well as a 

description of the economic 

considerations associated with 

removing the LBAM declaration 

requirement for fruit imported from 

New Zealand into the United States, 

may be viewed on the Regulations.gov 

website 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 these 

documents by calling or writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. Please refer to the 

subject of the analysis you wish to 

review when requesting copies. 

After reviewing any comments we 

receive, we will announce our decision 

regarding whether to remove the 

declaration requirement for LBAM 

freedom for the importation of fruit from 

New Zealand in a subsequent notice. If 

the overall conclusions of our analysis 

and the Administrator’s determination 

of risk remain unchanged following our 

consideration of the comments, then we 

will remove the requirement for the 

importation of fruit from New Zealand 

as described in this notice.
