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 certain
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 of
Indonesia to allow the importation of
fresh pineapple fruit (Ananas comosus)
from Indonesia into the United States.
As part of our evaluation of Indonesia’s
request, we have prepared a pest risk
assessment to identify the pests of
quarantine significance that could

Jkt 265001
follow the pathway of the importation of
fresh pineapple fruit (Ananas comosus)
from Indonesia into the United States.
Based on the pest risk assessment, a risk
management document (RMD) was
prepared to identify phytosanitary
measures that could be applied to the
fresh pineapple fruit to mitigate the pest
risk.
Therefore, in accordance with
§ 319.56–4(c), we are announcing the
availability of our pest risk assessment
and RMD for public review and
comment. Those documents, as well as
a description of the economic
considerations associated with the
importation of fresh pineapple for
consumption from Indonesia may be
viewed on the Regulations.gov website
or in our reading room (see ADDRESSES
above for a link to Regulations.gov and
information on the location and hours of
the reading room). You may request
paper copies of the pest risk assessment
and RMD 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
pineapple fruit from Indonesia 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
pineapple fruit from Indonesia into the
United States subject to the
requirements specified in the RMD.
