We are reopening the comment period for our proposed rule that would amend our regulations governing the importation and interstate movement of fruits and vegetables by broadening our existing performance standard to provide for approval of all new fruits and vegetables for importation or interstate movement into or within the United States using a notice-based process. This action will allow interested persons additional time to prepare and submit comments.
The comment period for the proposed rule published on September 9, 2014 (79 FR 53346-53352) is reopened. We will consider all comments that we receive on or before January 9, 2015.
