Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service August 31, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In an interim rule published in the Federal Register on July 2, 2007, with an effective date of August 31, 2007, we amended the phytosanitary treatment regulations by making several changes to the requirements for cold treatment enclosures and the requirements for conducting cold treatment. A final rule that was published in the Federal Register on July 18, 2007, and effective August 17, 2007, reorganized the cold treatment regulations by moving requirements regarding cold treatment that had previously been contained in the regulations governing the importation of fruits and vegetables to the section of the regulations containing the requirements for cold treatment enclosures and conducting cold treatment. This technical amendment indicates how the changes in the July 2 interim rule will appear in the regulations as they have been reorganized by the July 18 final rule.
