Download as PDF 70580 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 215 / Thursday, November 5, 2020 / Notices port permissions are granted, especially citrus importation to Florida ports of entry. This request is unwarranted since South African citrus has been imported into the United States with almost no interceptions, and no detections of fruit fly larvae in 23 years. Moreover, as noted previously in this document, diagnostic technologies the commenters requested already exist and are being deployed. Molecular technology already allows APHIS to identify almost any fruit fly larval interception in commercial fruit commodities. Finally, APHIS’ preclearance personnel are stationed in South Africa and routinely monitor pest populations and pest pressures. Adjust Sieve Size for Mite Wash Detection One commenter suggested that inspection at U.S. ports of entry must adjust the size of sieves for mite washes to detect immature mite species before South African citrus importation is allowed to expand to all U.S. ports of entry. As noted above, washing, brushing, and waxing of citrus fruit at packinghouses is demonstrated to remove mites from the pathway on the importation of citrus to the United States. Accordingly, additional inspection tools for mites at ports of entry are not warranted. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Comments Regarding Economic Cost Considerations We received multiple comments on the economic effects assessment (EEA) that accompanied the initial notice.
