| 2011-7894 | Movement of Hass Avocados From Areas Where Mediterranean Fruit Fly or South American Fruit Fly Exist | Proposed Rule | We are proposing to relieve certain restrictions regarding the movement of fresh Hass variety avocados. Specifically, we are proposing to amend our domestic regulations to provide for the interstate movement of Hass avocados from Mediterranean fruit fly quarantined areas in the United States with a certificate if the fruit is safeguarded after harvest in accordance with specific measures. We are also proposing to amend our foreign quarantine regulations to remove trapping requirements for Mediterranean fruit fly for Hass avocados imported from the State of Michoacan, Mexico, requirements for treatment or origin from an area free of Mediterranean fruit fly for Hass avocados imported from Peru, and requirements for trapping or origin from an area free of South American fruit fly for Hass avocados imported from Peru. These actions are warranted in light of research demonstrating the limited host status of Hass avocados to Mediterranean fruit fly and South American fruit fly. This action would make our domestic and foreign requirements for movement of Hass avocados consistent with each other and would relieve restrictions for Mexican and Peruvian Hass avocado producers. In addition, this action would provide a means for Hass avocados to be moved interstate if the avocados originate from a Mediterranean fruit fly quarantined area in the United States. | 2011-04-04 | 2011 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/04/04/2011-7894/movement-of-hass-avocados-from-areas-where-mediterranean-fruit-fly-or-south-american-fruit-fly-exist | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-04-04/pdf/2011-7894.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are proposing to relieve certain restrictions regarding the movement of fresh Hass variety avocados.
