The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will allow for several "interim" measures for filing electronic Lacey Act information in ACE for goods leaving Foreign Trade Zones, the agency said in a letter to the National Association of Foreign-Trade Zones. The interim measures are necessary because the electronic CBP Form 214 (e214) system, used to provide data for Partner Government Agencies on goods admitted into an FTZ, won't be "fully integrated for PGA data until 2017," APHIS Administrator Kevin Shea said in a Sept. 7 letter to the NAFTZ. Entry/entry summaries for entry type 06 were required to be filed in ACE as of May 28, but the requirement won't be enforced until after Nov. 28 (see 1608190035).

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service proposing to change cold treatment requirements for grapefruits imported from Australia, it said (here). Currently, grapefruit may be imported from Australia if it was produced in fruit fly-free areas in Riverina, Riverland or Sunraysia, or if it has been subject to cold treatment to mitigate fruit fly risks. The current cold treatment, T107-d, requires refrigeration at or below 2.22° C for up to 22 days. APHIS is proposing to extend treatment schedule T107-d-3 to Australian grapefruit, which would allow cold treatment at up to 3° C for no more than 14 days to meet U.S. entry requirements. Comments are due Nov. 15.
