Background
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
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 be safely
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 Peru to allow the importation
of fresh cape gooseberry fruit (Physalis
peruviana L.) from Peru into the United
States. As part of our evaluation of
Peru’s request, we have prepared a pest
risk assessment to identify the pests of
quarantine significance that could
follow the pathway of the importation of
fresh cape gooseberry fruit into the
United States from Peru. Based on the
pest risk assessment, a risk management
document (RMD) was prepared to
identify phytosanitary measures that
could be applied to the fresh cape
gooseberry fruit to mitigate the pest risk.
Therefore, in accordance with
§ 319.56–4(c), we are announcing the
availability of our pest risk assessment
