Import Requirements for the Importation of Fresh Fragrant Pears from China into the United States [Docket No. APHIS-2017-0103]

APHIS is advising the public of its decision to revise the import requirements for the importation of fresh fragrant pears from China into the United States and to authorize importation from an additional area of production. Based on the findings of the pest risk analysis, which APHIS made available to the public to review and comment through a previous notice, APHIS has concluded that the application of one or more designated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation of fresh fragrant pears fruit from this additional production area.  (Federal Register Vol. 85, No. 60, FRiday, 27 March 2020 pg. 17306-17307)
