Title: ●Importation of Papayas From Peru 
Abstract:

This rulemaking amends the regulations to allow, under certain conditions, the importation of commercial consignments of fresh papayas from Peru into the continental United States. The conditions for the importation of papayas from Peru will include requirements for approved production locations; field sanitation; hot water treatment; procedures for packing and shipping the papayas; and fruit fly trapping in papaya production areas. This action allows for the importation of papayas from Peru while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of quarantine pests into the continental United States.
