Notice of Decision To Authorize the
Importation of Pummelo From Vietnam
Into the United States
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
We are advising the public of
our decision to authorize the
importation into the United States of
fresh pummelo fruit from Vietnam.
Based on the findings of a pest risk
analysis, which we made available to
the public for review and comment
through a previous notice, we have
determined that the application of one
or more designated phytosanitary
measures will be sufficient to mitigate
the risks of introducing or disseminating
plant pests or noxious weeds via the
importation of fresh pummelo fruit from
Vietnam.
DATES: Imports may be authorized
beginning October 4, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.
Sam Johnson, Senior Regulatory Policy
Specialist, Regulatory Coordination and
Compliance, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River
Road, Unit 133, Riverdale, MD 20737–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
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)
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) 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 and spread within
the United States.
Section 319.56–4 of the regulations
contains a performance-based process
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
for approving the importation of
commodities that, based on the findings
of a pest risk analysis (PRA), can be
safely imported subject to one or more
of the designated phytosanitary
measures listed in paragraph (b) of that
section. Under that process, APHIS
proposes to authorize the importation of
a fruit or vegetable into the United
States if, based on findings of a PRA, we
determine that the measures can
mitigate the plant pest risk associated
with the importation of that fruit or
vegetable. APHIS then publishes a
notice in the Federal Register
announcing the availability of the PRA
that evaluates the risks associated with
the importation of a particular fruit or
vegetable. Following the close of the 60day comment period, APHIS will issue
a subsequent Federal Register notice
announcing whether or not we will
authorize the importation of the fruit or
vegetable subject to the phytosanitary
measures specified in the notice.
In accordance with that process, we
published a notice 1 in the Federal
Register on December 27, 2021 (86 FR
73237–73238, Docket No. APHIS–2020–
0106), in which we announced the
availability, for review and comment, of
a PRA that evaluated the risks
associated with the importation into the
United States of pummelo fruit (Citrus
maxima Merrill) from Vietnam. The
PRA consisted of a risk assessment
identifying pests of quarantine
significance that could follow the
pathway of importation of pummelo
fruit from Vietnam into the United
States and a risk management document
(RMD) identifying phytosanitary
measures to be applied to that
commodity to mitigate the pest risk.
We solicited comments on the notice
for 60 days ending on February 25,
2022. We did not receive any comments
by that date.
Therefore, in accordance with the
regulations in § 319.56–4(c)(3)(iii), we
are announcing our decision to
authorize the importation into the
United States of pummelo from Vietnam
subject to the phytosanitary measures
identified in the RMD that accompanied
the initial notice.
These conditions will be listed in the
USDA, APHIS Agricultural Commodity
Import Requirements (ACIR) database
(https://acir.aphis.usda.gov/s/).2 In
addition to these specific measures,
pummelo from Vietnam will be subject
to the general requirements listed in

Abstract: FNS is responsible for the
administration of the Child Nutrition
programs—including the National
School Lunch Program (NSLP), the
School Breakfast Program (SBP), NSLP
Seamless Summer Option (SSO), the
Summer Food Service Program (SFSP),
the Child and Adult Care Food Program
(CACFP), and others—at the federal
level. To inform current and future
policy decisions and effectively oversee
these programs, FNS requires
information on how these programs are
operating. Although FNS oversees these
programs, SAs administer them through
agreements with SFAs and other local
entities that implement the programs at
the local level.
Throughout the pandemic, school
nutrition professionals have met
extraordinary challenges to ensure every
child can get the food they need to
learn, grow, and thrive. But
circumstances in local communities
remain unpredictable, and supply
chains for food and labor have been
stressed and at times disrupted. USDA
is committed to working together with
state agencies, school food authorities
(SFAs), the food industry, and other
stakeholders to communicate these
challenges and to identify solutions.
This is the second survey issued to
SFAs that will assist FNS and its
partners to enhance the toolbox for
school nutrition professionals working
hard to make sure students have reliable
access to healthy meals. Whereas the
first SFA survey focused on challenges
and mitigation strategies related to
procuring specific food or non-food
items during the 2021–2022 school year,
this survey focuses on food costs, labor
costs, and vendor issues that continue to
disrupt school food service in the 2022–
2023 school year, as well as changes in
student participation related to the
return to standard operations.
The attached survey has a maximum
of 31 questions and is estimated to take
approximately 20 minutes to complete
per respondent. FNS is asking all SFAs
that participate in the Child Nutrition
Programs to complete this survey,
which will be distributed via email with
the support of state agencies. SFAs will
be asked to complete the survey using
an online survey tool and will receive
reminders and support emails from state
agencies and FNS as needed. As a
result, the total proposed time burden is
8,840.79 burden hours.
Affected Public: School Food
Authorities and state agencies.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The total estimated number of
respondents is 19,106.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under the regulations in ``Subpart L--Fruits and Vegetables'' (7

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S.

Section 319.56-4 of the regulations contains a performance-based
process for approving the importation of commodities that, based on the
findings of a pest risk analysis (PRA), can be safely imported subject
to one or more of the designated phytosanitary measures listed in
paragraph (b) of that section. Under that process, APHIS proposes to
authorize the importation of a fruit or vegetable into the United
States if, based on findings of a PRA, we determine that the measures
can mitigate the plant pest risk associated with the importation of
that fruit or vegetable. APHIS then publishes a notice in the Federal
Register announcing the availability of the PRA that evaluates the
risks associated with the importation of a particular fruit or
vegetable. Following the close of the 60-day comment period, APHIS will
issue a subsequent Federal Register notice announcing whether or not we
will authorize the importation of the fruit or vegetable subject to the
phytosanitary measures specified in the notice.
In accordance with that process, we published a notice \1\ in the
