| 2016-20508 | Importation of Fresh Persimmons From New Zealand Into the United States | Proposed Rule | We are proposing to amend the regulations concerning the importation of fruits and vegetables to allow the importation of fresh persimmons from New Zealand into the United States. As a condition of entry, the persimmons would have to be produced in accordance with a systems approach that would include requirements for orchard certification, orchard pest control, post harvest safeguards, fruit culling, traceback, sampling, and treatment with either hot water or modified atmosphere treatment. The persimmons would also have to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that they were produced under, and meet all the components of, the systems approach and were inspected and found to be free of quarantine pests in accordance with the proposed requirements. This action would allow the importation of fresh persimmons from New Zealand while continuing to protect against the introduction of plant pests into the United States. | 2016-08-26 | 2016 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/08/26/2016-20508/importation-of-fresh-persimmons-from-new-zealand-into-the-united-states | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-08-26/pdf/2016-20508.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are proposing to amend the regulations concerning the importation of fruits and vegetables to allow the importation of fresh persimmons from New Zealand into the United States.
