SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under the regulations in ‘‘Subpart L—
Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–
1 through 319.56–12, 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 plant pests from being
introduced into or disseminated within
the United States.
Section 319.56–4 contains a
performance-based process for
approving the importation of fruits and
vegetables that, based on the findings of
a pest risk analysis, can safely be
imported subject to one or more of the
five designated phytosanitary measures
listed in paragraph (b) of that section.
APHIS received a request from the
national plant protection organization
(NPPO) of Grenada to allow the
importation of fresh mango fruit
(Mangifera indica L.) from Grenada into
the United States. As part of our
evaluation of Grenada’s request, we
have prepared a pest risk assessment
(PRA) to identify the pests of quarantine
significance that could follow the
pathway of the importation of fresh
mango fruit into the United States from
Grenada. Based on the PRA, a
commodity import evaluation document
(CIED) was prepared to identify
phytosanitary measures that could be
applied to the fresh mango fruit to
mitigate the pest risk.
Therefore, in accordance with
§ 319.56–4(c)(3), we are announcing the
availability of our PRA and CIED for
public review and comment. Those
documents, as well as a description of
the economic considerations associated
with the importation of fresh mango
fruit from Grenada, may be viewed on
PO 00000

the Regulations.gov website or in our
reading room (see ADDRESSES above for
a link to the Regulations.gov and
information on the location and hours of
the reading room). You may request
paper copies of the PRA and CIED 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 fresh
mango fruit from Grenada in a
subsequent notice. If the overall
conclusions of our analysis and the
Administrator’s determination of risk
remain unchanged following our
consideration of the comments, then we
will authorize the importation of fresh
mango fruit from Grenada into the
United States subject to the
requirements specified in the CIED.
