Importation of Sweet Oranges and Grapefruit From Chile; Technical 
Amendment

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: In a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on 
April 7, 2009, and effective on May 7, 2009, we amended the fruits and 
vegetables regulations to allow the importation of sweet oranges and 
grapefruit from Chile into the continental United States. However, in 
making this change, we inadvertently amended the regulations to 
restrict the importation of clementines, mandarins, and tangerines from 
Chile to the continental United States and Hawaii, when in fact those 
fruits had been eligible for importation into the entire United States, 
including the territories. This technical amendment is necessary to 
correct that error.

DATES: Effective Date: September 10, 2009.

Risk Management and Plants for Planting Policy, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River 
Road, Unit 133, Riverdale, MD 20737-1231; (301) 734-0627.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a final rule published in the Federal 
Register on April 7, 2009 (74 FR 15635-15640, Docket No. APHIS-2007-
0115), and effective on May 7, 2009, we amended the regulations in 
``Subpart--Fruits and Vegetables'' (7 CFR 319.56-1 through 319.56-49) 
to allow the importation, under certain conditions, of sweet oranges 
and grapefruit from Chile into the continental United States. These 
conditions, which we established in Sec.  319.56-38, are the same as 
those that were already in place for the importation of clementines, 
mandarins, and tangerines from Chile in Sec.  319.56-38, except that 
clementines, mandarins, and tangerines from Chile have been eligible 
for importation into the entire United States, including its 
territories. However, in adding sweet oranges and grapefruit to the 
list of fruit eligible for importation from Chile in the introductory 
text of Sec.  319.56-38, we inadvertently restricted the importation of 
clementines, mandarins, and tangerines to the continental United States 
and Hawaii. This document corrects that error.
