Notice of Decision to Issue Permits for
the Importation of Fresh Pomegranates
and Baby Kiwi from Chile into the
United States
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: We are advising the public of
our decision to begin issuing permits for
the importation into the continental
United States of fresh pomegranates and
fresh baby kiwi from Chile. Based on the
findings of pest risk analyses, which we
made available to the public for review
and comment through a previous notice,
we believe that the application of one or
more designated phytosanitary
measures will be sufficient to mitigate
the risks of introducing or disseminating
plant pests or noxious weeds via the
importation of fresh pomegranates and
fresh baby kiwi from Chile.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
regulations in ‘‘Subpart-Fruits and
Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56 through
319.56-50, 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.
Under that process, APHIS publishes a
notice in the Federal Register
announcing the availability of the pest
risk analysis that evaluates the risks
associated with the importation of a
particular fruit or vegetable. Following
the close of the 60-day comment period,
APHIS may begin issuing permits for
importation of the fruit or vegetable
subject to the identified designated
measures if: (1) No comments were
received on the pest risk analysis; (2)
the comments on the pest risk analysis
revealed that no changes to the pest risk
analysis were necessary; or (3) changes
to the pest risk analysis were made in
response to public comments, but the
changes did not affect the overall
conclusions of the analysis and the
Administrator’s determination of risk.
In accordance with that process, we
published a notice1 in the Federal
Register on February 9, 2010 (75 FR
6344-6345, Docket No. APHIS-20090097), in which we announced the
availability, for review and comment, of
