APHIS said the change will ensure that the regulations provide the latest web links for accessing current import and treatment requirements for all agricultural commodities.
The changes include removing a web link within the Plant Protection and Quarantine Treatment Manual and replacing it with a link that goes directly to the treatments section within ACIR, as well as the mailing address to request a hard copy of the manual.
Other changes include amending Section 319.5(c) to remove “Commodity Import Analysis and Operations” from the address to which information about export commodities should be sent. APHIS is also replacing the link to the Plants for Planting Manual definition with one that links directly to the plants for planting section of the ACIR database, and replacing the mailing address for requesting a hard copy of the manual.
