Download as PDF sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 75 / Thursday, April 18, 2013 / Notices longhorned beetles, including CLB, in artificially dwarfed plants. However, those conditions apply only to artificially dwarfed plants; it is necessary to restrict the importation of all plants that are hosts of CLB in order to address the risk of introducing CLB. Appropriate conditions for the importation of those host plants can be determined through the PRA process. There may be other quarantine pests associated with a taxon besides the pest or pests addressed by a systems approach and the pest for which the taxon was added to the NAPPRA category. Conducting a PRA will allow us to identify all quarantine pests associated with a taxon and develop appropriate mitigations. As discussed earlier, in cases where we have experience with importing artificially dwarfed plants under § 319.37–5(q) and the CLB Federal order and have found, through inspection, that they are generally pest-free, we have allowed that trade to continue under the conditions of the Federal order. One commenter, a company primarily focused on the establishment and management of short rotation plantations of hybrid poplar in North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, expressed concern about the listing of Populus, the genus containing poplar species, as NAPPRA. The commenter stated that its breeding and hybridization work takes place in Oregon, meaning the commenter needs to import plant material in the form of soil-free cuttings, seed, and pollen from various countries. The commenter stated that it has followed all regulations for importing plants for planting in the past, and such importations have not resulted in the introduction of any pests to the United States. The importation of seed of Populus spp. will continue to be allowed. While pollen may not be a pathway for CLB, we need to evaluate all the quarantine pests associated with this taxon besides CLB as well, as there have not been significant imports of Populus spp. pollen or other plant parts into the United States. Soil-free unrooted cuttings, meanwhile, could easily serve as a pathway for CLB depending on size, and we would need to analyze CLB and any other pests associated with Populus spp. through the PRA process before allowing the importation of such plants for planting, as there have not been significant imports of Populus spp. from any country except Canada. One commenter stated a desire to establish a pest-free area for CLB and the Asian longhorned beetle VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:54 Apr 17, 2013 Jkt 229001 (Anaplophora glabripennis, ALB) in Netherlands to allow the importation of fruit trees from that country. As described in the CLB data sheet that accompanied the July 2011 notice, Malus spp. and Prunus spp., the two principal genera of fruit trees, from Netherlands will be allowed to be imported under the current regulations for their importation in § 319.37–5(b) and under the conditions of the Federal order. The Federal order includes requirements for production in a pestfree area, pest-free place of production, or pest-free production site for CLB and ALB. We fully support the establishment of pest-free areas in exporting countries, but it is the responsibility of the exporting country’s NPPO and local growers to establish and maintain these pest-free areas. Lachneulla willkommii One commenter expressed surprise that we had excluded Canada from NAPPRA in the data sheet listing hosts of the pest Lachneulla willkommii, since, as the commenter stated, L. willkommii is present in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Both Canada and the United States have designated areas under quarantine for this pest. We recognize Canada’s quarantine, and Canada recognizes ours. There is no need for further restrictions. Therefore, in accordance with the regulations in § 319.37–2a(b)(2), we are adding 31 taxa of plants for planting that are quarantine pests and 107 taxa of plants for planting that are hosts of 13 quarantine pests to the list of taxa whose importation is NAPPRA. A complete list of those taxa and the restrictions placed on their importation can be found at the address in footnote 1 of this document or on the Plant Protection and Quarantine Web page at https://www.aphis.usda.gov/ import_export/plants/plant_imports/ Q37/nappra/index.shtml.
