Changes to Treatments for Citrus Fruit 

From Australia 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of changes to 

phytosanitary treatments. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that we are adding new approved 

phytosanitary treatment schedules to 

the Plant Protection and Quarantine 

Treatment Manual for certain species of 

citrus fruit imported from Australia into 

the United States. These new treatments 

will continue to prevent the 

introduction or interstate movement of 

quarantine pests in the United States. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. 

Inder P.S. Gadh, Senior Risk Manager— 

Treatments, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River 

Road Unit 133, Riverdale, MD 20737– 

1231; (301) 7340627. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The phytosanitary treatments 

regulations contained in 7 CFR part 305 

(referred to below as the regulations) set 

out general requirements for conducting 

treatments indicated in the Plant 

Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) 

Treatment Manual 1 for fruits, 

vegetables, and articles to prevent the 

introduction or dissemination of plant 

pests or noxious weeds into or through 

the United States. 

On October 19, 2009, we published in 

the Federal Register (74 FR 53424– 

53430, Docket No. APHIS–2008–0140) a 

proposal 2 to amend the regulations by 

adding new treatment schedules for 

sweet cherries and certain species of 

citrus fruit imported from Australia into 

the United States. We also proposed to 

establish an approved irradiation dose 

for Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) of 

100 gray. Our analysis affirming the 

efficacy of all the proposed treatments 

was presented in a treatment evaluation 

document that was made available with 

the proposed rule. 

We solicited comments concerning 

our proposal for 60 days ending 

December 18, 2009, and received five 

comments by that date. They were from 

a State plant protection official, a 

research entomologist, a foreign national 

plant protection organization 

representative, and two students. One 

commenter simply pointed out a 

misspelling. The remaining commenters 

either raised issues about sweet cherries 

and Medfly specifically or commented 

generally on the treatments for both 

sweet cherries and citrus fruit. 

We considered those comments and, 

in a notice dated August 4, 2010 (75 FR 

46901–46902, Docket No. APHIS 2008– 

0140), informed the public of our 

conclusion that none raised any issues 

sufficient to warrant changes to the 

proposed treatments for sweet cherries 

and Medfly. Accordingly, we 

announced that we were amending the 

PPQ Treatment Manual to include the 

new treatment schedules for sweet 

cherries and the revised irradiation dose 

for Medfly. Also, as none of the 

comments raised issues sufficient to 

warrant changes to the proposed 

treatments for certain species of citrus 

fruit, we noted that we would update 

treatment schedules for citrus fruit at a 

later date and would announce those 

changes through a notice. 

Accordingly, in this current notice, 

we are announcing that we are 

amending the PPQ Treatment Manual to 

include the new treatment schedules for 

certain species of citrus fruit from 

Australia.
