regulate the importation of plants, plant
products, and other articles to prevent
the introduction of plant pests disease
and noxious weeds into the United
States. The regulations in 7 CFR 319
include specific requirements for the

pest including fruit flies, the mango
seed weevil, and others. It may be used
as an alternative to other approved
treatments for these pests in fruits and
vegetables, such as fumigation, cold
treatment, heat treatment, and other
techniques.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS uses the following information
collection activities associated with this
program, to employ irradiation as an
effective phytosanitary treatment for
importing fresh fruit and vegetables into
the United States: compliance
agreement, operational work plans
(cooperative agreements), dosimetry
agreement at the irradiation facility,
request for dosimetry device approval,
30-day notification, labeling and
packaging, recordkeeping, request for
certification and inspection of facility,
irradiation treatment workplan, facility
preclearance workplan, trust fund
agreement, phytosanitary certificate,
and denial and withdrawal of
certification. Without the collection of

irradiated. Irradiation leaves no residue
and usually causes no discernible
change to the commodity’s color or
texture.
