Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 90 / Thursday, May 9, 2019 / Notices
Import Requirements database, or
FAVIR (https://epermits.aphis.usda.gov/
manual). It also provides that, if the
Administrator determines that any of
the phytosanitary measures listed in
FAVIR as required for the importation of
a particular fruit or vegetable are no
longer necessary to reasonably mitigate
the plant pest risk posed by the fruit or
vegetable, APHIS will publish a notice
in the Federal Register making its pest
risk analysis and determination
available for public comment.
The importation of fresh peppers from
the Republic of Korea into the
continental United States has been
authorized since June 2006. One of the
conditions for the importation of the
peppers is that they must be grown in
a pest-exclusionary greenhouse
approved by and registered with the
national plant protection organization
(NPPO) of the Republic of Korea. In
order for the greenhouse to be
considered pest-exclusionary, among
other requirements, we required any
openings other than the doors to be
covered with 0.6 mm or less screening
to prevent the entry of pests into the
structure.
On April 20, 2018, we published in
the Federal Register (83 FR 17501–
17503, Docket No. APHIS–2016–0094) a
proposal 1 to amend the regulations
regarding the importation of fresh
peppers from the Republic of Korea into
the continental United States. We
proposed to allow the screenings to be
1.6 mm in diameter or less, provided
that the structure had present yellow
and blue sticky traps, at a density agreed
upon by APHIS and the NPPO of the
Republic of Korea, to monitor for levels
of thrips activity.
We solicited comments on the
proposed rule for 60 days ending on
June 19, 2018. We received one
comment by that date, from the NPPO
of the Republic of Korea.
The NPPO asked whether both yellow
and blue sticky traps had to be used
within the pest-exclusionary
greenhouses, or whether our intent was
to allow yellow or blue sticky traps to
be used. The NPPO pointed out that
both colors of traps are effective for
thrips.
Our intent was to require either type
of trap to be used; we do not require
both to be used.
The NPPO also informed us that they
had changed their acronym from NPQS
to APQA. The proposed rule had
referred to the old acronym.

Finally, we note that the proposed
rule was issued prior to the October 15,
2018, effective date of a final rule 2 that
revised the regulations in § 319.56–4 by
broadening an existing performance
standard to provide that all revisions to
existing requirements for the
importation of fruits and vegetables into
the United States will use a notice-based
process. With those changes to the
regulations, it is necessary for us to
finalize this action through the issuance
of a notice rather than a final rule.
Therefore, in accordance with the
regulations in § 319.56–4(c)(4)(ii), we
are announcing our decision to revise
the conditions governing the
importation of fresh peppers from Korea
into the continental United States as
discussed in this notice. The revised
requirements will be listed in FAVIR.
Paperwork Reduction Act
In accordance with section 3507(d) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and as noted in
the proposed rule, the burden
requirements included in this notice are
approved by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under OMB control
number 0579–0282.
E-Government Act Compliance
The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service is committed to
compliance with the E-Government Act
to promote the use of the internet and
other information technologies, to
provide increased opportunities for
citizen access to Government
information and services, and for other
