| 2011-19518 | Importation of Tomatoes From the Economic Community of West African States Into the Continental United States | Proposed Rule | We are proposing to amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation of tomatoes from the member States of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) into the continental United States. As a condition of entry, tomatoes from the ECOWAS would be subject to a systems approach that would include requirements for pest exclusion at the production site, fruit fly trapping and monitoring, and procedures for packing the tomatoes. The tomatoes would also be required to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of the exporting country with an additional declaration that the tomatoes had been produced in accordance with the proposed requirements. This action would allow for the importation of tomatoes from the ECOWAS into the continental United States while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of quarantine pests. | 2011-08-02 | 2011 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/08/02/2011-19518/importation-of-tomatoes-from-the-economic-community-of-west-african-states-into-the-continental | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-08-02/pdf/2011-19518.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are proposing to amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation of tomatoes from the member States of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) into the continental United States.
