Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service August 19, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We are advising the public that we have received a request from the Government of Argentina to recognize additional areas as pest- free areas for South American fruit fly (Anastrepha fraterculus) and all other economically important species of Anastrepha. After reviewing the documentation submitted in support of this request, the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that these areas meet the criteria in our regulations for recognition as pest-free areas. We are making that determination, as well as the evaluation document we have prepared in connection with this action, available for review and comment.
