• Be grown from seeds germinated in
the greenhouse unit; or descended from
a mother plant that was grown for at
least 9 months in the exporting country
prior to importation into the United
States of the descendant plants;
• Be watered only with rainwater that
has been boiled or pasteurized, with
clean well water, or with potable water;
• Be rooted and grown in approved
growing media;
• Be stored and packaged only in
areas free of sand, soil, earth, and
quarantine pests; and
• Be inspected in the greenhouse and
found free from evidence of quarantine
pests by an APHIS inspector or an
inspector of the NPPO of the exporting
country.
In addition, the grower is required to
comply with the provisions of the
program and to allow inspectors, and
representatives of the NPPO of the
exporting country, access to where the
plants are grown. These requirements
have been used successfully to mitigate
the risk of pest introduction associated
with the importation into the United
States of approved plants established in
approved growing media.
Beyond the basic requirements for
import eligibility applicable to all taxa
in approved growing media, the Plants
for Planting Manual and ACIR contain
approved growing media program
requirements specific to plant taxa and
the country in which they are grown.
Programs for importation of
Phalaenopsis spp. orchid plants in
approved growing media from approved
facilities have been established for four
countries: China, Costa Rica, South
Korea, and Taiwan.
In response to the request by Germany
and the Netherlands, we conducted pest
risk assessments to evaluate the risk to
the United States, including territories,
of importation of Phalaenopsis spp.
orchid plants in approved growing
media from Germany and the
Netherlands. After a review of the
scientific literature, port-of-entry pest
interception data, and information from
the NPPO of Germany and the
Netherlands, we conducted pest risk
assessments listing all potential pests
with actionable regulatory status for the
United States and its territories that
occur in Germany and the Netherlands
and are associated with Phalaenopsis
spp. orchid plants anywhere in the
world. We analyzed the pest risk
potential of these organisms and
determined that no organism in
Germany of quarantine concern had a
reasonable likelihood of following the
pathway of Phalaenopsis spp. plants in
growing media from Germany into the
United States. Nonetheless, the general
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
plants in growing media regulations
outlined in the Plants for Planting
Manual and ACIR will still apply for
this pathway. This will ensure that
Phalaenopsis spp. imported into the
United States from Germany have been
produced under the conditions
evaluated by the pest risk assessment.
For the pest risk assessment of the
Netherlands, we found three pests, the
arthropods Lyprauta cambria and L.
chacoensis, and the fungus
Colletotrichum orchidearum, are
candidates for risk management
measures because they meet the
threshold to likely cause unacceptable
consequences if introduced into the
United States.
Based on the findings in the pest risk
assessments, we prepared risk
management documents (RMDs) 3 to
determine mitigations that will be
required of Germany, and that will
adequately prevent the introduction of
Lyprauta cambria, L. chacoensis, and
Colletotrichum orchidearum from the
Netherlands into the United States, for
Phalaenopsis spp. orchid plants in
approved growing media. In order for
Phalaenopsis spp. orchid plants to be
safely imported into the United States
from Germany and the Netherlands, the
RMDs specify that the plants must be
grown in approved growing media and
meet the requirements outlined in the
USDA Plants for Planting Manual. The
RMD for the Netherlands additionally
provides mitigations required to prevent
the introduction of Lyprauta cambria, L.
chacoensis, and Colletotrichum
orchidearum, into the United States via
Phalaenopsis spp. orchid plants in
approved growing media from the
Netherlands. These requirements for
each country are detailed in written
agreements between APHIS and
Germany and the Netherlands regarding
risk management measures to prevent
the entry of quarantine plant pests.
Therefore, in accordance with
§ 319.37–20(c), we are announcing the
availability of our pest risk assessments
and RMDs for public review and
comment. These documents may be
