Correction: The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service on Nov. 10 said it will extend until Jan. 9 the deadline for comments on a proposed change to its procedures for setting fruit and vegetable import requirements (see 1411100051).
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said it will extend until Jan. 9 the deadline for comments on a proposed change to its procedures for setting fruit and vegetable import requirements, in a message to stakeholders emailed Nov. 10 (here). Under the proposed rule, issued in September, APHIS would no longer go through a normal rulemaking process for changes to import requirements (see 14090819). Instead, the agency would simply publish a notice in the Federal Register advising the public of the change. APHIS would still give the public a chance to comment before changes are made through publication of a “pest risk analysis” document detailing the agency’s scientific rationale.
