10. Grapevine Panel
The panel will complete the
appendices of significant arthropod and
nematode pests of grapevines for RSPM
No. 15 (Guidelines for the Importation
of Grapevines into a NAPPO Member
Country). The panel will begin to work
on the bacteria and fungi appendices for
RSPM No. 15 and update the appendix
on viruses.
11. Invasive Species Panel
This panel will define the scope of
invasive alien species in the context of
NAPPO and will begin development of
a NAPPO standard for evaluating the
potential invasiveness of plants for
planting. The panel will also begin
development of a NAPPO standard for
identifying and prioritizing pest
introduction pathways (pathway
analysis). In addition, the panel will
coordinate and clarify NAPPO’s
invasive species efforts with those of the
North American Commission for
Environmental Cooperation and other
North American international treaties,
conventions, and trilateral activities.
This year, the panel will coordinate
with the NAPPO Working Group to
develop the agenda and speakers for the
Invasive Species Symposium at the
October 2007 NAPPO Annual Meeting.
12. Pest Risk Analysis Panel
The panel will prepare a NAPPO pest
risk analysis on black stem rust, UG 99,
Puccinia graminis, for the NAPPO
Grains panel and, in collaboration with
this panel, will review the latest
scientific information on Karnal bunt,
Tilletia indica Mitra.

13. Phytosanitary Alert System Panel
This panel continuously posts timely
pest alerts on the NAPPO web site,
reviews automated data surveillance
technologies to streamline data mining
processes, and determines ways to
improve official pest reporting through
the Phytosanitary Alert System.
14. Plants for Planting
The panel will report on progress in
achieving the implementation plan for
RSPM No. 24 (Integrated Pest Risk
Management Measures for the
Importation of Plants for Planting in
NAPPO Member Countries). In addition,
the panel will clarify the meaning of the
term ‘‘origin’’ in ISPM No. 12
(Guidelines for phytosanitary
certificates), in particular for re-exports
of seeds.
15. Potato Panel
The panel will finalize protocols for
the detection and identification of

NAPPO Potato Standard, RSPM No. 3,
and finalize the protocols for the
isolation and identification of regulated
nematodes of potato as Appendix 7 to
the Potato Standard. The panel will
determine the accuracy of Appendix 5,
Per-Shipment Testing for PVYn, based
on the current knowledge of the North
American PVY complex, and will
identify the requirements for
recognition of pest freedom for golden
nematode Globodera rostochiensis and
the potato cyst nematode Globodera
pallida, based on International
Standards for Phytosanitary Measures.
16. Standards Panel
The panel will coordinate and review
new and amended NAPPO standards
and implementation plans; provide
updates on NAPPO standards and
ISPMs for the NAPPO Newsletter;
exchange and discuss comments on
draft ISPMs within NAPPO and with
other RPPOs to build consensus on draft
ISPMs and other issues related to the
IPPC; organize conference calls and
prepare NAPPO discussion documents
where possible to confirm positions on
key issues for North American
representatives to FAO expert working
groups; update the NAPPO Glossary,
taking into account new definitions and
standards; and review NAPPO position
papers and policy documents to verify
current relevance.
The PPQ Deputy Administrator, as the
official U.S. delegate to NAPPO, intends
to participate in the adoption of these
regional plant health standards,
including the work described above,
once they are completed and ready for
such consideration.
The information in this notice
includes all the information available to
us on NAPPO standards currently under
development or consideration. For
updates on meeting times and for
information on the working panels that
may become available following
publication of this notice, check the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
marketing assistance loan program for
peanuts is authorized by the Farm
Security and Rural Investment Act of
2002 (Pub. L. 107–171) (2002 Farm Bill).
Section 1307(a)(6) of the 2002 Farm Bill
(7 U.S.C. 7957(a)(6)) requires CCC to pay
storage, handling, and other associated
costs for the 2002 through 2006 crops of
peanuts that are pledged as collateral for
marketing assistance loans. This
authority terminates beginning with the
2007 crop of peanuts.
CCC paid storage, handling, and other
associated costs for the 2002 through
2006 crop years for peanuts that were
pledged as loan collateral and stored in
a warehouse with an approved Peanut
Storage Agreement. The statute does not
authorize CCC to pay storage, handling,
and other associated costs when 2007crop peanuts are pledged as collateral
for a loan. However, rates for storage
and handling (in-elevation and load-out)
must be established in the event that
peanuts pledged as loan collateral are

forfeited to CCC. For peanuts forfeited to
CCC, CCC will be responsible for storage
charges beginning on the day following
the loan maturity date. While CCC is not
responsible for storage charges incurred
on or before the loan maturity date, CCC
will pay to warehouse operators any
amount by which the loan amount was
reduced because the producer failed to
pay storage or make arrangements for
storage charges through the loan
maturity date. Additionally, while CCC
is not responsible for in-elevation
charges incurred on or before the loan
maturity date, CCC will pay to
warehouse operators the CCC-approved
in-elevation charge and collect the
amount from the producer after loan
forfeiture. CCC is not responsible for
load out charges or other services such
as inspections or grading, unless
delivery is directed by CCC or such
services are requested by CCC.
Section 4(h) of the CCC Charter Act
(15 U.S.C. 714–714p) allows CCC to
contract for the physical handling,
storage, processing, servicing, and
transportation of the agricultural
commodities subject to its control. The
terms and conditions of the CCC Peanut
Storage Agreement are based on the
authority provided by the CCC Charter
Act.
CCC announces the following uniform
rates that CCC will pay for storage,
handling, and other associated costs for
2007-crop peanuts to warehouse
operators with a CCC Peanut Storage
Agreement:

In cases where the producer did not
prepay the in-elevation charges, CCC
will pay the CCC-approved in-elevation
charge at a rate of $8.00 per ton to the
warehouse operator and collect the
amount from the producer after loan
forfeiture.
Storage
Storage amounts may be earned at the
rate of $.089 per ton per day beginning
on the day following the loan maturity
date, based on a monthly storage rate of
$2.71 per ton. CCC will also use this rate

arrangements for storage charges
through the loan maturity date.

per ton which includes all items

will pay load-out charges only when
this service is ordered by CCC.
Grading and Inspection

and inspection fees as determined by
the Federal-State Inspection Service,
Agriculture Marketing Service, for CCCowned peanuts, only when CCC
requests such service.
