Description

The Department proposes to amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to list a number of fruits and vegetables from certain parts of the world as eligible, under specified conditions, for importation into the United States.  All of the fruits and vegetables, as a condition of entry, would be inspected and subject to treatment at the port of first arrival as may be required by a U. S. Department of Agriculture inspector.  In addition, some of the fruits and vegetables would be required to be treated or meet other special conditions.  In addition, it is proposed to recognize areas in several countries as free from certain fruit flies; amend the packing requirement for certain commodities, expand locations in the north eastern United States where cold treatment can be conducted; update and clarify restrictions on the entry of fruits and vegetables; update and clarify permit procedures, including amendment, denial, or withdrawal of permits; require full disclosure of fruits and vegetables at the port of first arrival and clarify the conditions under which they may be released for movement; and make other miscellaneous changes.
