Regulated Organism and Soil Permits

Widely Prevalent Regulated Organisms

Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ), Permits, Registrations, and Imports (PRI) has developed lists of invertebrate plant pests and pathogens determined to be prevalent within various States. These lists will facilitate the prompt issuance of federal permits for the interstate movement of pests and pathogens determined to be widely prevalent within the destination State(s).

PPQ strongly encourages applicants to submit applications that contain only species on these lists separately from applications that contain species not on these lists. The use of unapproved synonyms may delay the processing of the application.

PPQ is continuing to work with States to increase participation in this procedure. Please continue to check this website for further updates to the lists.
