Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service October 27, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We are advising the public that we have prepared a pest risk analysis that evaluates the risks associated with importation of fresh turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizome from Samoa into the United States (including territories). Based on the analysis, we have determined 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 turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizome from Samoa. We are making the pest risk analysis available to the public for review and comment.
