importation, entry, or movement of
plants and plant pests to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States or their dissemination
within the United States. Plum Pox is an
extremely serious viral disease of plants
that can affect many stone fruit species,
including plum, peach, apricot, almond,
and nectarine. The regulations in 7 CFR
301.74–5 permit owners of commercial
stone fruit orchards to receive
compensation for losses associated with
trees destroyed to control plum pox
pursuant to an emergency action
notification (EAN) issued by the Animal
& Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS). Owners of fruit tree nurseries
may receive compensation for net
revenue losses associated with
movement or sale of nursery stock
prohibited under an EAN issued by
APHIS with respect to regulated articles
within the nursery in order to control
plum pox.
Need and Use of the Information:
Compensation applications include
information about the business such as
name and address, a description of the
property, and a certification statement
that the trees removed from the owner’s
property were stone fruit trees from
commercial fruit orchards or fruit tree
nurseries. For claims made by owners of
stone fruit orchards, the completed
application must be accompanied by a
copy of the EAN ordering the
destruction of their trees, the
notification’s accompanying inventory
describing the acreage and ages of trees
removed and documentation verifying
that the destruction of the trees have
been completed and the date of that
completion. For claims made by owners
of fruit tree nurseries, the completed
application must be accompanied by a
copy of the EAN prohibiting the same or
movement of the nursery stock, the
notification’s accompanying inventory
describing the total number of trees
covered by the EAN, their age and
variety, and documentation indicating
the final disposition of the nursery
stock. Applicants may also need to
apply for a DUNS number and provide
direct deposit information for payments.
Without the information APHIS would
be unable to compensate eligible grove
and nursery owners for their losses.
