319.56–1 through 319.56–75). In
accordance with these regulations,
mangoes from India may be imported
into the United States only under
certain conditions to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS amended the fruits and
vegetables regulations to allow the
importation into the continental United
States of mangoes from India under
certain conditions. As a condition of
entry, the mangoes have to undergo
irradiation treatment and be
accompanied by a phytosanitary
certificate with additional declaration
statement providing specific
information regarding the treatment and
inspection of the mangoes and the
orchards in which they were grown. The
additional information collection
activities include a preclearance
workplan, trust fund agreement,
compliance agreement, monitoring of
inspections, orchard mutual agreement,
irradiation treatment package labeling,
recordkeeping, treatment certification,
and denial and withdrawal certification.
Failure to collect this information
would greatly hinder APHIS’ ability to
ensure that mangoes from India are not
carrying plant pests.
