Title: Untreated Oranges, Tangerines,
and Grapefruit from Mexico Transiting
the United States to Foreign Countries.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0303.
Summary Of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701–
7772), the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to prohibit or restrict the
importation, entry, or movement of
plants and plant pests to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States or their dissemination
within the United States. The Code of
Federal Regulations, § 352.30 addresses
the movement into or through the
United States of untreated oranges,
tangerines, and grapefruit from Mexico
that transit the United States en route to
foreign countries. This information
collection amends the regulations to
allow untreated oranges, tangerines, and
grapefruit from Medico to be moved
overland by truck or rail to Corpus
Christi and Houston, Texas for export to
another country by water.
Need And Use Of The Information:
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) is taking action to
provide additional protection against
the possible introduction of fruit flies
via untreated oranges, tangerines, and
grapefruit from Mexico that transit the
United States. Untreated oranges,
tangerines, and grapefruit from Mexico
transiting the United States for export to
another country must be shipped in

sealed, refrigerated container and insectproof packaging. A transportation and

inspector for shipments of untreated
oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit from
Mexico. Without the information,
APHIS would not be able to allow the
movement of untreated citrus to transit
the United States to foreign countries.
