Notice of Availability of Pest Risk
Analyses for the Importation of
Chipilin Leaves and Edible Flowers of
Chufle, Izote, and Pacaya From
Guatemala Into the Continental United
States
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
We are advising the public
that we have prepared pest risk analyses
that evaluate the risks associated with
importation of chipilin leaves and
edible flowers of chufle, izote, and
pacaya from Guatemala into the
continental United States. Based on
these analyses, we have determined 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 movement of
chipilin leaves and edible flowers of
chufle, izote, and pacaya from
Guatemala. We are making these
documents available to the public for
review and comment.
DATES: We will consider all comments
that we receive on or before September
8, 2014.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
regulations in ‘‘Subpart–Fruits and
Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–1 through
319.56–68, referred to below as the
regulations), the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
prohibits or restricts the importation of
fruits and vegetables into the United
States from certain parts of the world to
prevent the introduction and
dissemination of plant pests that are
new to or not widely distributed within
the United States.
Section 319.56–4 contains a
performance-based process for
approving the importation of certain
fruits and vegetables that, based on the
findings of a pest risk analysis, can be
safely imported subject to one or more
of the phytosanitary measures listed in
paragraph (b) of that section.
APHIS received a request from the
national plant protection organization
(NPPO) of Guatemala to allow the
importation of chipilin leaves
(Crotalaria longirostrata) and edible
flowers of chufle (Calathea
macrosepala), izote (Yucca
guatemalensis), and pacaya
(Chamaedorea tepejilote) into the
continental United States.
As part of our evaluation of
Guatemala’s request, we have prepared
pest risk assessments (PRAs) to identify
pests of quarantine significance that
could follow the pathway of importation
into the continental United States from
Guatemala and, based on the PRAs, risk
management documents (RMDs) to
identify phytosanitary measures that
could be applied to the commodities to
mitigate the pest risk. (The PRAs
evaluating the pest risks for chipilin
leaves, chufle, and pacaya were
originally drafted for a market access
request from El Salvador; however,
these PRAs also address the risks
associated with importing these
commodities from Guatemala.) We have
concluded that chipilin leaves and
edible flowers of chufle, izote, and
pacaya can be safely imported from
Guatemala to the continental United
States using one or more of the five
designated phytosanitary measures
listed in § 319.56–4(b). These measures
are:
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• The commodities must be imported
as commercial consignments only;
• Each consignment must be
accompanied by a phytosanitary
certificate issued by the NPPO of
Guatemala; and
• Each consignment is subject to
inspection upon arrival at the port of
entry to the United States.
Therefore, in accordance with
§ 319.56–4(c), we are announcing the
availability of our PRAs and RMDs for
public review and comment. The
documents 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 PRAs and RMDs by
calling or writing to the person listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT. Please refer to the subject of
the analysis you wish to review when
requesting copies.
After reviewing any comments we
receive, we will announce our decision
regarding the import status of chipilin
leaves and edible flowers of chufle,
izote, and pacaya from Guatemala in a
subsequent notice. If the overall
conclusions of our analyses and the
Administrator’s determination of risk
remain unchanged following our
consideration of the comments, then we
will authorize the importation of
chipilin leaves and edible flowers of
chufle, izote, and pacaya from
Guatemala into the continental United
States subject to the requirements
specified in the RMDs.
