Fruit and Vegetable Phytosanitary
Supplemental Regulations Proposed

April 29 , 2002

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (Federal Register 3/15/02) as to its May 2000 proposed rule to establish regulations for phytosanitary treatment of imported fruits and vegetables. 

Specifically, this supplemental proposed rule would require that

(a) indicators be put on the cartons of imported fruit and vegetables to show that irradiation has taken place and

(b) inpection and monitoring activities by foreign plant protection services at foreign irradiation facilities be recorded in an agreement between that service and APHIS. 

Written comments are due April 15, 2002.
