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

(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
