Expedited Permits for Certain Widely Prevalent Regulated Organisms

Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ), Permits, Registrations, Imports, and Manuals (PRIM) has developed lists of invertebrate plant pests and pathogens (with the assistance of American Phytopathological Society) determined to be prevalent within various States.  The pathogen lists can be viewed at http://prevalentfungi.org/

PPQ sends the widely prevalent pathogen lists with standard conditions to every state and territory and asks if they would agree to expedite the review of the listed organisms. 

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.  American Phytopathological Society is currently developing a widely prevalent list for plant pathogenic nematodes.
