Notice of Determination of Pest-Free

Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We are advising the public
that we are recognizing 7 municipalities
´
in the State of Ceara and 13
municipalities in the State of Rio
Grande do Norte as pest-free areas for
the South American cucurbit fly. Based
on our review of the documentation
submitted by Brazil’s national plant
protection organization, which we made
available to the public for review and
comment through a previous notice, the
Administrator has determined that those
municipalities meet the criteria in our
regulations for recognition as pest-free
areas.
DATES:
Effective Date: June 9, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
regulations in ‘‘Subpart-Fruits and

Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56 through
319.56–47, referred to below as the
regulations), the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
prohibits or restricts the importation of
fruits and vegetables into the United
States from certain parts of the world to
prevent plant pests from being
introduced into and spread within the
United States.
Section 319.56–4 of the regulations
contains a performance-based process
for approving the importation of
commodities that, based on the findings
of a pest risk analysis, can be safely
imported subject to one or more of the
designated phytosanitary measures
listed in paragraph (b) of that section.
One of the designated phytosanitary
measures is that the fruits or vegetables
are imported from a pest-free area in the
country of origin that meets the
requirements of § 319.56–5 for freedom
from that pest and are accompanied by
a phytosanitary certificate stating that
the fruits or vegetables originated in a
pest-free area in the country of origin.
Under the regulations in § 319.56–5,
APHIS requires that determinations of
pest-free areas be made in accordance
with the criteria for establishing
freedom from pests found in
International Standards for
Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) No. 4,
‘‘Requirements for the Establishment of
Pest-Free Areas.’’ The international
standard was established by the
International Plant Protection
Convention of the United Nations’ Food
and Agriculture Organization and is
incorporated by reference in our
regulations in 7 CFR 300.5. In addition,
APHIS must also approve the survey
protocol used to determine and
maintain pest-free status, as well as
protocols for actions to be performed
upon detection of a pest. Pest-free areas
are subject to audit by APHIS to verify
their status.
In accordance with that process, we
published a notice 1 in the Federal
Register on March 3, 2008 (73 FR
11382–11383, Docket No. APHIS–2008–
0013), in which we announced the
availability, for review and comment, of
a commodity import evaluation
document in which we examined the
