Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service January 25, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We are advising the public that we have prepared pest risk analyses that evaluate the risks associated with the importation into the continental United States of fresh edible flowers of izote, immature inflorescences of pacaya, immature inflorescences of chufle, and fresh leaves of chipilin from El Salvador. Based on those analyses, we believe that the application of one or more designated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation of fresh edible flowers of izote, immature inflorescences of pacaya, immature inflorescences of chufle, and fresh leaves of chipilin from El Salvador. We are making the pest risk analyses available to the public for review and comment.
