Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 225 / Tuesday, November 23, 2010 / Notices
We are advising the public of
our decision to begin issuing permits for
the importation into the continental
United States of wall rocket leaves from
the United Kingdom. Based on the
findings of a pest risk analysis, 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 wall rocket leaves from
the United Kingdom.
SUMMARY:
DATES:
Effective Date: November 23,
2010.

Claudia Ferguson, Regulatory Policy
Specialist, Regulatory Coordination and
Compliance, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
Under the regulations in ‘‘SubpartFruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–1
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 (PRA), 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 PRA 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 PRA; (2) the comments
on the PRA revealed that no changes to
the PRA were necessary; or (3) changes
to the PRA 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 notice 1 in the Federal
Register on July 8, 2010 (75 FR 39203–
39204, Docket No. APHIS–2010–0027),
in which we announced the availability,
for review and comment, of a PRA that
evaluates the risks associated with the
importation into the continental United
States of wall rocket (Diplotaxis
tenuifolia (L)) leaves from the United
Kingdom. We solicited comments on the
notice for 60 days ending on September
7, 2010. We received one comment by
that date, from a State department of
agriculture.
The PRA concluded that there was a
low likelihood of the leafminer pests
associated with wall rocket leaves from
the United Kingdom escaping detection
at the port of entry. The commenter
stated that the likelihood of eggs or early
instars with no or difficult-to-detect
mines being present or of interior plant
parts being infested would allow some
immature pests to escape detection.
We acknowledge that eggs or very
early instars may be present with
tunnels too small to be seen. However,
after wall rocket leaves have been
harvested and enter the commercial
consumption pathway, they are
generally refrigerated, so it would be
unlikely that the eggs or early instar
larvae could complete development.
Thus, there is a low risk associated with
the life stages of these pests that might
escape detection.
The PRA also concluded that there is
a low likelihood of the pests associated
with wall rocket leaves from the United
Kingdom coming into contact with host
material suitable for reproduction. The
commenter stated that, because of the
highly polyphagous nature of
leafminers, if egg- or larva-infested
commodity arrives in the United States,
there is a high probability of adults
emerging and coming into contact with
suitable hosts in favorable
environments, such as the one in the
commenter’s State.
The majority of this commodity will
be consumed and any plant material not
consumed will be disposed of in
environments not suitable for pest
escape. In addition, the cut commodity
rapidly wilts and desiccates, preventing
the complete development of the insect.
Taking into consideration the fact that
both pests are poor flyers with relatively
short lifespans, we have concluded that
the low rating for this risk element is
appropriate. As such, we have

determined that no changes to the PRA
are necessary based on the comment.
Therefore, in accordance with the
regulations in § 319.56–4(c)(2)(ii), we
are announcing our decision to begin
issuing permits for the importation into
the continental United States of wall
rocket leaves from the United Kingdom
subject to the following phytosanitary
measures:
• Each consignment of wall rocket
leaves must be accompanied by a
phytosanitary certificate issued by the
Department of Environment Food and
Rural Affairs with the following
additional declaration: ‘‘Wall rocket
leaves in this consignment were
inspected and found free from
Chromatomyia horticola and Liriomyza
strigata.’’
• The wall rocket leaves must be
imported as commercial consignments
only.
These conditions will be listed in the
Fruits and Vegetables Import
Requirements database (available at
https://www.aphis.usda.gov/favir). In
addition to those specific measures,
wall rocket leaves from the United
Kingdom will be subject to the general
requirements listed in § 319.56–3 that
are applicable to the importation of all
fruits and vegetables.

2010 Company Organization Survey
Bureau of the Census,
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of determination.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of the Census
(Census Bureau) is conducting the 2010
Company Organization Survey. The
survey’s data are needed, in part, to
update the multilocation companies in
the Business Register. The survey,
which has been conducted annually
since 1974, is designed to collect
information on the number of
employees, payroll, geographic location,

current operational status, and kind of
business for each establishment of
companies with more than one location.
We have determined that annual data
collected from this survey are needed to
aid the efficient performance of
essential governmental functions, and
that these data have significant
application to the needs of the public
and industry. The data derived from this
survey are not available from any other
source.
ADDRESSES: The Census Bureau will
furnish report forms to organizations
included in the survey, and additional
copies are available on written request
to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau,
Washington, DC 20233–0101.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections
182, 195, 224, and 225 of Title 13,
United States Code (U.S.C.), authorize
the Census Bureau to undertake surveys
necessary to furnish current data on the
subjects covered by the major censuses.
In years that do not end in 2 and 7,
companies report only on basic
company affiliation and operations of
establishments not within scope of the
economic censuses. In these non-census
years, all multi-establishment
companies with 250 or more employees
report survey information. Also, groups
of smaller companies that are divided
into panels may be selected to report
information for one of the non-census
years. Smaller companies may be
selected if an organizational change
within the company is indicated, or if
they have been selected through the
probability sampling procedure. The
next economic census will be conducted
for the year 2012. The data collected in
the Company Organization Survey will
be within the general scope, type, and
character of those that are covered in the
economic censuses. Forms NC–99001
and NC–99007 (for single-location
companies) will be used to collect the
desired data.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to, nor shall a person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with, a
collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44
