Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service December 11, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Importation of Fruits and Vegetables
Document Number: E7-23957
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2007-12-11
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
We are proposing to amend the regulations pertaining to the importation of fruits and vegetables to eliminate a treatment requirement for Ya pears imported from Shandong Province, China; to clarify the conditions that apply to the importation of sand pears from the Republic of Korea and Japan; and to clarify the distinction between plant parts that would be considered to be plant litter or debris and those that would not. These proposed changes would eliminate a treatment requirement that no longer appears to be necessary and would clarify some existing provisions in order to make the regulations easier to understand and implement.
Cold Treatment Regulations; Correction
Document Number: E7-23944
Type: Rule
Date: 2007-12-11
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
We are correcting an error in the cold treatment regulations that resulted from the publication of an interim rule on July 2, 2007, that was effective on August 31, 2007, and the publication of a separate final rule on July 18, 2007, that was effective on August 17, 2007. Because the July 18 final rule reorganized the cold treatment regulations, changes we made in the July 2 interim rule inadvertently removed provisions relating to places for cold treatment and ports of entry from the regulations when the interim rule became effective on August 31, 2007. This correction amends the regulations by reinstating those provisions.
