Section 319.56–4 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. APHIS received a request from the national plant protection organization (NPPO) of the Republic of Chile to allow the importation of fresh Cape gooseberry fruit (Physalis peruviana L.), with husks, to be imported from Chile into the continental United States. We have completed a pest risk assessment for this commodity to identify pests of quarantine significance that could follow the pathway of importation into the United States and, based on this list, have prepared a risk management document to identify phytosanitary measures that could be applied to fresh Cape goosberry fruit with husks from Chile to mitigate the pest risk. We have concluded that fresh Cape gooseberry fruit with husks can be safely imported into the continental United States from Chile using one or more of the five designated phytosanitary measures listed in § 319.56–4(b). For Cape gooseberry fruit with husks from Chile, these measures are: • Cape gooseberry fruit will be subject to inspection upon arrival in the United States. • Each consignment of Cape gooseberry fruit must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by NPPO of Chile stating: ‘‘The Cape gooseberry in the consignment has been inspected and is free of pests.’’ • Cape gooseberry fruit must be imported into the United States in commercial consignments only.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Under the regulations in ``Subpart--Fruits and Vegetables'' (7 CFR 
319.56-1 through 319.56-51, 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 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.
    APHIS received a request from the national plant protection 
organization (NPPO) of the Republic of Chile to allow the importation 
of fresh Cape gooseberry fruit (Physalis peruviana L.), with husks, to 
be imported from Chile into the continental United States. We have 
completed a pest risk assessment for this commodity to identify pests 
of quarantine significance that could follow the pathway of importation 
into the United States and, based on this list, have prepared a risk 
management document to identify phytosanitary measures that could be 
applied to fresh Cape goosberry fruit with husks from Chile to mitigate 
the pest risk. We have concluded that fresh Cape gooseberry fruit with 
husks can be safely imported into the continental United States from 
Chile using one or more of the five designated phytosanitary measures 
listed in Sec.  319.56-4(b). For Cape gooseberry fruit with husks from 
Chile, these measures are:
     Cape gooseberry fruit will be subject to inspection upon 
arrival in the United States.
     Each consignment of Cape gooseberry fruit must be 
accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by NPPO of Chile 
stating: ``The Cape gooseberry in the consignment has been inspected 
and is free of pests.''
     Cape gooseberry fruit must be imported into the United 
States in commercial consignments only.
    Therefore, in accordance with Sec.  319.56-4(c), we are announcing 
the availability of our pest risk analysis for public review and 
comment. The pest risk analysis may be viewed on the Regulations.gov 
Web site or in our reading room (see ADDRESSES above for a link to 
Regulations.gov and information on the location and hours of the 
reading room). You may request paper copies of the pest risk analysis 
by calling or writing to the person listed under FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT. Please refer to the subject of the pest risk 
analysis you wish to review when requesting copies.
    After reviewing any comments we receive, we will announce our 
decision regarding the import status of fresh Cape gooseberry fruit 
with husks from Chile in a subsequent notice. If the overall 
conclusions of the analysis and the Administrator's determination of 
risk remain unchanged following our consideration of the comments, then 
we will authorize the importation of fresh Cape gooseberry fruit with 
husks from Chile into the continental United States subject to the 
requirements specified in the risk management document.

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 450, 7701-7772, and 7781-7786; 21 U.S.C. 136 
and 136a; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 371.3.
