7 CFR Part 319

[Docket No. 98-062-3]

 
Update of Nursery Stock Regulations; Correction

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are correcting an error in the rule portion of a final rule 
that amended the regulations for importing nursery stock to require 
additional certifications for imported niger seed and lilac, to reflect 
changes in plant taxonomy and pest distributions, and to make various 
changes to the requirements for postentry quarantine of imported 
plants. The final rule was published in the Federal Register on August 
20, 2003, and was effective on September 19, 2003.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 19, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. William Thomas, Import Specialist, 
Phytosanitary Issues Management Team, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 
140, Riverdale, MD 20737-1236; (301) 734-5214.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 20, 2003, we published in the 
Federal Register (68 FR 50039-50048, Docket No. 98-062-2) a final rule 
that amended the regulations for importing nursery stock to require 
additional certifications for imported niger seed and lilac, to reflect 
changes in plant taxonomy and pest distributions, and to make various 
changes to the requirements for postentry quarantine of imported 
plants.
    In the rule portion of the final rule, Sec.  319.37-8, in paragraph 
(g), we provided an address in Riverdale, MD, to which requests for the 
guidelines established by the International Plant Protection Convention 
of the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization for conducting 
pest risk assessments may be sent. The office that handles these 
requests has been transferred to another location, but we inadvertently 
did not update the address in the final rule. This document corrects 
that error.
    In FR Doc. 03-21304, published on August 20, 2003 (68 FR 50039-
50048), make the following correction: On page 50047, in the third 
column, in Sec.  319.37-8(g), correct ``Permits and Risk Assessment, 
Commodity Risk Analysis Branch, 4700 River Road Unit 133, Riverdale, MD 
20737'' to read ``Center for Plant Health Science and Technology, Plant 
Epidemiology and Risk Assessment Laboratory, 1017 Main Campus Drive, 
Suite 2500, Raleigh, NC 27606''.

    Done in Washington, DC, this 17th day of October, 2003.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
