APHIS streamlining approvals for imports
Expanding the use of the notice-based process will allow APHIS to be more responsive to evolving pest situations in both the United States and exporting countries while decreasing the time it takes to approve fruits and vegetables that can be safely imported into the United States.
APHIS has extended the comment period for this proposed rule by 60 days. We encourage all stakeholders to submit their comments by January 9, 2015. All comments will be considered before issuing the final rule.
