AHPIS Seeks More Comments on Proposal on Changing Fruit and Veg Import Requirements

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will reopen the comment period on its proposal to change its procedures for setting fruit and vegetable import requirements, it said in a notice (here). The September proposal (see 14090819) would allow the agency to publish a notice in the Federal Register advising the public of a change to the import requirements rather than going through the full rulemaking process. Comments are due Jan. 9.
