0579-AE90 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0579 Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service APHIS 0500 Department of Agriculture USDA Importation of Coffee into Hawaii and Puerto Rico

Current APHIS regulations prohibit the importation of green, unroasted beans into Hawaii and Puerto Rico due to the risk of two plant pests, coffee bean borer and coffee bean rust. We are proposing to amend the regulations regarding the importation of unroasted coffee and related articles into Hawaii and Puerto Rico by establishing a notice-based process for changes to the regulations.
