Importation of Peppers From Certain Central American Countries; 
Correction

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are correcting two errors in a proposed rule that would 
amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow certain types of 
peppers grown in approved registered production sites in Costa Rica, El 
Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua to be imported into the 
United States without treatment. The proposed rule was published in the 
Federal Register on October 12, 2005 (70 FR 59283-59290, Docket No. 05-
003-1).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Donna L. West, Senior Import 
Specialist, Commodity Import Analysis and Operations, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 
River Road Unit 133, Riverdale, MD 20737-1228; (301) 734-8758.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 12, 2005, we published in the 
Federal Register (70 FR 59283-59290, Docket No. 05-003-1) a proposed 
rule that would amend the fruits and vegetables regulations in 7 CFR 
part 319 to allow certain types of peppers grown in approved registered 
production sites in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and 
Nicaragua to be imported into the United States without treatment.
    In the supplementary information section of the proposed rule, we 
stated that Guatemala and Honduras contained areas that had been 
determined to be free of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) in 
accordance with Sec.  319.56-2(f). This information was incorrect. The 
Department of Peten in Guatemala is currently the only Medfly-free area 
in the five Central American countries covered by the proposed rule.
    Also in the supplementary information of the proposed rule, under 
the heading ``Paperwork Reduction Act,'' we stated that the estimated 
total annual burden on respondents was 2,299 hours. This number was 
incorrect. It should have read 2,999 hours. This document corrects 
these errors.

areas.'' On page 59288, second column, eighth paragraph, in the first 
sentence, correct ``2,299'' to read ``2,999'.
