Importation of Fresh Peppers From Peru Into the Continental
United States and the Territories
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are proposing to amend the fruits and vegetables
regulations to allow the importation of fresh peppers into the
continental United States and the Territories from Peru. As a condition
of entry, the fruit would have to be produced in accordance with a
systems approach that would include requirements for fruit fly
trapping, pre-harvest inspections, production sites, and packinghouse
procedures designed to exclude quarantine pests. The fruit would also
be required to be imported in commercial consignments and accompanied
by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection
organization of Peru with an additional declaration stating that the
consignment was produced in accordance with the requirements of the
systems approach. This action would allow for the importation of
untreated fresh peppers from Peru while continuing to provide
protection against the introduction of plant pests into the continental
United States and the Territories.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The regulations in ``Subpart--Fruits and Vegetables'' (7 CFR
319.56-1 through 319.56-71, referred to below as the regulations)
prohibit or restrict the importation of fruits and vegetables into the
United States from certain parts of the world to prevent the
introduction and dissemination of plant pests that are new to or not
widely distributed within the United States. The regulations currently
do not authorize the importation of fresh peppers from Peru.
The national plant protection organization (NPPO) of Peru has
requested that the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
amend the regulations in order to allow the common chili pepper
(Capsicum annuum L.), aji pepper (Capsicum baccatum L.), habanero chili
(Capsicum chinense Jacq.), Thai pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.), and
rocoto (Capsicum pubescens Ruiz & Pav.) to be imported into the
continental United States and the Territories (the Commonwealth of
Northern Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, the
Virgin Islands of the United States, and any other territory or
possession of the United States). (Hereafter we refer to these species
as ``peppers.'')
As part of our evaluation of Peru's request, we prepared a pest
risk assessment (PRA) and a risk management document (RMD). Copies of
the PRA and the RMD may be obtained from the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT or viewed on the Regulations.gov Web site
(see ADDRESSES above for instructions for accessing Regulations.gov).
[[Page 22935]]
The PRA, titled ``Importation of Fresh Pepper Fruit--Capsicum
annuum L., Capsicum baccatum L., Capsicum chinense Jacq., Capsicum
frutescens L., and Capsicum pubescens Ruiz & Pav.--from Peru into the
Continental United States and Territories,'' evaluates the risks
associated with the importation of fresh peppers from Peru into the
continental United States and the Territories. The RMD relies upon the
findings of the PRA to determine the phytosanitary measures necessary
to ensure the safe importation into the continental United States and
the Territories of fresh peppers from Peru.
The PRA identifies four quarantine pests present in Peru that could
be introduced into the continental United States and the Territories
through the importation of peppers:
Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann), South American fruit
fly.
Ceratitis capitata (Widemann), Mediterranean fruit fly.
Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guen[eacute]e), a fruit boring
moth.
Puccinia pampeana Speg., a pathogenic fungus that causes
pepper and green pepper rust.
A quarantine pest is defined in Sec. 319.56-2 of the regulations
as a pest of potential economic importance to the area endangered
thereby and not yet present there, or present but not widely
distributed and being officially controlled. Plant pest risk potentials
associated with the importation of peppers from Peru into the
continental United States and the Territories were determined by
estimating the consequences and likelihood of introduction of each
quarantine pest into the continental United States and the Territories
and ranking the risk potential as high, medium, or low. The PRA
determined that three of these four pests--A. fraterculus, C. capitata,
and P. pampeana--pose a high risk of following the pathway of peppers
from Peru into the continental United States and the Territories and
having negative effects on U.S. agriculture. The remaining pest--N.
elegantalis--was rated as having a medium risk potential.
Based on the conclusions of the PRA and the RMD, we are proposing
to allow the importation of peppers from Peru into the continental
United States and the Territories subject to a systems approach. The
conditions in the systems approach that we are proposing are described
below. These conditions would be added to the regulations in a new
Sec. 319.56-73.
Operational Workplan
Proposed paragraph (a) of Sec. 319.56-73 would require the NPPO of
Peru to provide an operational workplan to APHIS that details the
activities that the NPPO would, subject to APHIS' approval of the
workplan, carry out to meet the requirements of proposed Sec. 319.56-
73. The operational workplan would have to include and describe in
detail the quarantine pest survey intervals and other specific
requirements in proposed Sec. 319.56-73.
An operational workplan is an agreement between APHIS' Plant
Protection and Quarantine program, officials of the NPPO of a foreign
government, and, when necessary, foreign commercial entities, that
specifies in detail the phytosanitary measures that will be carried out
to comply with our regulations governing the importation of a specific
commodity. Operational workplans apply only to the signatory parties
and establish detailed procedures and guidance for the day-to-day
operations of specific import/export programs. Operational workplans
also establish how specific phytosanitary issues are dealt with in the
exporting country and make clear who is responsible for dealing with
those issues. The implementation of a systems approach typically
requires an operational workplan to be developed.
Commercial Consignments
Proposed paragraph (b) of Sec. 319.56-73 would require peppers
from Peru to be imported only in commercial consignments. Produce grown
commercially is less likely to be infested with plant pests than
noncommercial consignments. Noncommercial consignments are more prone
to infestations because the commodity is often ripe to overripe, could
be of a variety with unknown susceptibility to pests, and is often
grown with little or no pest control. Commercial consignments, as
defined in Sec. 319.56-2, are consignments that an inspector
identifies as having been imported for sale and distribution. Such
identification is based on a variety of indicators, including, but not
limited to: Quantity of produce, type of packing, identification of
grower or packinghouse on the packaging, and documents consigning the
fruits or vegetables to a wholesaler or retailer.
Approved Production Sites
Proposed paragraph (c) of Sec. 319.56-73 would require that the
peppers be grown in a pest-free, pest-exclusionary structure approved
by and registered with the Peruvian NPPO. These pest-exclusionary
structures would be the only registered production sites for peppers
from Peru. APHIS reserves the right to conduct audits and inspect the
production sites as needed. The pest-exclusionary structures would have
to be equipped with double self-closing doors to prevent inadvertent
introduction of pests. In addition, any windows, vents, or openings in
the pest-exclusionary structures (other than the double self-closing
doors) would have to be covered with 1.6 mm screening in order to
prevent the entry of pests. The 1.6 mm screening size is adequate to
exclude A. fraterculus, C. capitata, and N. elegantalis, as these three
pests are relatively large.
We would require the production sites to be inspected prior to
harvest for N. elegantalis and P. pampeana by the Peruvian NPPO or its
approved designee. (An approved designee is an entity with which the
NPPO creates a formal agreement that allows that entity to certify that
the appropriate procedures have been followed. The approved designee
can be a contracted entity, a coalition of growers, or the growers
themselves.) If, during these inspections, either of these quarantine
pests or other quarantine pests is found to be generally infesting or
infecting the production site, the Peruvian NPPO would immediately
prohibit that production site from exporting peppers to the continental
United States and the Territories and notify APHIS of the action. The
prohibition would remain in effect until the Peruvian NPPO and APHIS
determine that the pest risk has been mitigated.
Trapping Requirements
Proposed paragraph (c) of Sec. 319.56-73 would also require
trapping for A. fraterculus and C. capitata both within and around the
production site. Internal trapping would have to be conducted
continuously for the duration of the time the production site is used
to produce peppers for export to the continental United States and the
Territories. External trapping would have to be conducted beginning 2
months before export and continue until the end of harvest.
Traps with an approved protein bait would have to be placed inside
the production sites at a density of four traps per hectare, with a
minimum of at least two traps per structure. The traps would have to be
serviced at least once every 7 days. If a single A. fraterculus or C.
capitata is detected inside a registered production site or in a
consignment, the Peruvian NPPO would immediately prohibit that
production site from exporting peppers to the continental United States
and the Territories and notify APHIS of the action. The prohibition
would remain in
[[Page 22936]]
effect until the Peruvian NPPO and APHIS agree that the risk has been
mitigated.
Outside the production site, traps with an approved protein bait
would have to be placed inside a buffer area 500 meters wide around the
structure at a density of 1 trap per 10 hectares, with a minimum of 10
traps. At least one of these traps would have to be placed near the
production site. These traps would have to be serviced at least once
every 7 days.
Capture of 0.7 or more A. fraterculus or C. capitata per trap per
week would delay or suspend the harvest, depending on whether harvest
has begun, for consignments of peppers from that production site. The
prohibition would remain in effect until the Peruvian NPPO and APHIS
agree that the risk has been mitigated.
To ensure that the trapping is being properly conducted, the
Peruvian NPPO or its approved designee would have to maintain records
of trap placement, checking of traps, and any quarantine pest captures.
The Peruvian NPPO would also have to maintain an APHIS-approved quality
control program to monitor or audit the trapping program. Trapping
records must be maintained for APHIS' review.
Packinghouse Requirements
We are proposing several requirements for packinghouse activities,
which would be contained in paragraph (d) of proposed Sec. 319.56-73.
Peppers would have to be packed for export within 24 hours of harvest
in a pest-exclusionary packinghouse registered with the NPPO of Peru.
Such registration would facilitate traceback of a consignment of
peppers to the packinghouse in which it was packed in the event that
quarantine pests were discovered in the consignment at the port of
first arrival into the continental United States or the Territories.
The peppers would have to be safeguarded by an insect-proof mesh,
screen, or plastic tarpaulin while in transit from the production site
to the packinghouse and while awaiting packing. The peppers would have
to be packed for shipment to the continental United States or the
Territories in insect-proof cartons or containers, or covered with
insect-proof screen or plastic tarpaulin. These safeguards would have
to remain intact until the arrival of the peppers in the continental
United States or the Territories or the consignment would not be
allowed to enter the continental United States or the Territories.
During the time that the packinghouse is in use for exporting
peppers to the continental United States or the Territories, the
packinghouse would only be allowed to accept peppers from registered
production sites. This requirement would prevent peppers intended for
export to the continental United States or the Territories from being
exposed to or mixed with peppers that are not produced according to the
requirements of the systems approach.
Phytosanitary Certificate
To certify that peppers from Peru have been grown and packed in
accordance with the requirements of proposed Sec. 319.56-73, proposed
paragraph (e) would require each consignment of peppers to be
accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate of inspection issued by the
Peruvian NPPO with an additional declaration stating that the
consignment was produced in accordance with the systems approach
described in the proposed regulations.
Definitions
We are also proposing to add a definition for continental United
States to the regulations in Sec. 319.56-2, as it is used throughout
the regulations but not defined. This definition would be identical to
that used in ``Subpart--Regulated Articles from Hawaii and the
Territories'' found in 7 CFR 318.13-2.
Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Flexibility Act
This proposed rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12866.
The proposed rule has been determined to be not significant for the
purposes of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, has not been reviewed
by the Office of Management and Budget.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 603, we have performed an initial
regulatory flexibility analysis, which is summarized below, regarding
the economic effects of this proposed rule on small entities. Copies of
the full analysis are available by contacting the person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT or on the Regulations.gov Web site (see
ADDRESSES above for instructions for accessing Regulations.gov).
Based on the information we have, there is no reason to conclude
that adoption of this proposed rule would result in any significant
economic effect on a substantial number of small entities. However, we
do not currently have all of the data necessary for a comprehensive
analysis of the effects of this proposed rule on small entities.
Therefore, we are inviting comments on potential effects. In
particular, we are interested in determining the number and kind of
small entities that may incur benefits or costs from the implementation
of this proposed rule.
The proposed rule would amend the regulations to allow the
importation of fresh peppers from Peru into the continental United
States and the Territories when a systems approach to pest risk
mitigation is used to prevent the introduction of quarantine pests
listed in the PRA. The systems approach would integrate prescribed
mitigation measures that cumulatively achieve the appropriate level of
phytosanitary protection.
Fresh peppers from Peru would compete with U.S. domestic production
as well as with imports from other countries. Peru produced an average
of about 9,600 metric tons (MT) of fresh peppers annually from 2005
through 2011. Over that same time period, fresh pepper exports from
Peru ranged from 226 MT to 567 MT, accounting for between 2.6 and 7.0
percent of annual production.\1\ Based on production area and yield in
Peru, the PRA estimates that no more than 22 containers a year (440 MT)
would be imported into the continental United States and the
Territories.

Consumers base their fresh produce purchasing decisions on a number
of factors besides price, including qualitative attributes such as
color, shape, appearance, size, freshness, perceived health benefits,
production methods, and product origin. Consumers would benefit from
the additional supply of fresh peppers that imports from Peru would
provide, and importers and distributors of Peruvian fresh peppers would
benefit from new business opportunities. U.S. producers would face
increased competition from the additional imports. However, economic
effects of the proposed rule for U.S. fresh pepper producers and
consumers are likely to be small. The quantity expected to be imported,
less than 440 MT, is the equivalent of less than 0.03 percent of annual
fresh pepper consumption in the United States.
We use a non-spatial, net trade, partial equilibrium model to
quantitatively assess benefits and costs of the proposed rule. As a
measure of the sensitivity of possible impacts, we assume three annual
import volumes of fresh peppers from Peru: 220, 440, and 660 MT. In all
cases, we find that consumer welfare gains would outweigh producer
welfare losses, yielding small positive net welfare impacts. Modeled
net economic gains for the United States due to fresh pepper imports
from Peru range from $231,000 to $692,000. Actual
[[Page 22937]]
levels of additional fresh peppers that would be imported from Peru as
a result of this rule would depend on relative prices, seasonality, and
various qualitative factors as mentioned above.
We have identified industries that could be affected by the
proposed rule based on the North American Industry Classification
System. Based on Small Business Administration size standards, small
entities are prominent in those industries for which information on
business size composition is available.
Executive Order 12988
This proposed rule would allow fresh peppers to be imported into
the continental United States and the Territories from Peru. If this
proposed rule is adopted, State and local laws and regulations
regarding fresh peppers imported under this rule would be preempted
while the fruit is in foreign commerce. Fresh vegetables are generally
imported for immediate distribution and sale to the consuming public
and would remain in foreign commerce until sold to the ultimate
consumer. The question of when foreign commerce ceases in other cases
must be addressed on a case-by-case basis. If this proposed rule is
adopted, no retroactive effect will be given to this rule, and this
rule will not require administrative proceedings before parties may
file suit in court challenging this rule.
Paperwork Reduction Act
In accordance with section 3507(d) of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the information collection or
recordkeeping requirements included in this proposed rule have been
submitted for approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Please send written comments to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attention: Desk Officer for APHIS, Washington,
DC 20503. Please state that your comments refer to Docket No. APHIS-
2014-0028. Please send a copy of your comments to: (1) APHIS, using one
of the methods described under ADDRESSES at the beginning of this
document, and (2) Clearance Officer, OCIO, USDA, room 404-W, 14th
Street and Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20250. A comment to
OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within
30 days of publication of this proposed rule.
APHIS is proposing to amend the fruits and vegetables regulations
to allow the importation of fresh peppers into the continental United
States and the Territories from Peru. As a condition of entry, the
fruit would have to be produced in accordance with a systems approach
that would include requirements for fruit fly trapping, pre-harvest
inspections, production sites, and packinghouse procedures designed to
exclude quarantine pests. The fruit would also be required to be
imported in commercial consignments and accompanied by a phytosanitary
certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of
Peru with an additional declaration stating that the consignment was
produced in accordance with the requirements of the systems approach.
Allowing the importation of untreated fresh peppers into the
continental United States and the Territories from Peru will require an
operational workplan, registered production sites, trapping records,
quality control program, packinghouse registrations, and phytosanitary
certificates.
We are soliciting comments from the public (as well as affected
agencies) concerning our proposed information collection and
recordkeeping requirements. These comments will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of our agency's functions,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the information collection on those who
are to respond (such as through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses).
Estimate of burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 1.3 hours per response.
Respondents: NPPO, producers, exporters.
Estimated annual number of respondents: 15.
Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 13.
Estimated annual number of responses: 197.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 266 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours may not equal the product of
the annual number of responses multiplied by the reporting burden per
response.)

E-Government Act Compliance
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is committed to
compliance with the EGovernment Act to promote the use of the Internet
and other information technologies, to provide increased opportunities
for citizen access to Government information and services, and for
other purposes. For information pertinent to E-Government Act
compliance related to this proposed rule, please contact Ms. Kimberly

Sec. 319.56-73 Peppers from Peru.
Fresh peppers (Capsicum annum L., Capsicum baccatum L., Capsicum
chinense Jacq., Capsicum frutescens L., and Capsicum pubescens Ruiz &
Pav.) may be imported into the continental United States and its
Territories only under the conditions described in this section. These
conditions are designed to prevent the introduction of the following
quarantine pests: Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann), South American
fruit fly; Ceratitis capitata (Widemann), Mediterranean fruit fly;
Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guen[eacute]e), a fruit boring moth; and
Puccinia pampeana Speg., a pathogenic fungus that causes pepper and
green pepper rust.
[[Page 22938]]
(a) Operational workplan. The national plant protection
organization (NPPO) of Peru must provide an operational workplan to
APHIS that details the activities that the NPPO of Peru will, subject
to APHIS' approval of the workplan, carry out to meet the requirements
of this section. The operational workplan must include and describe the
quarantine pest survey intervals and other specific requirements as set
forth in this section.
(b) Commercial consignments. Peppers from Peru may be imported in
commercial consignments only.
(c) Production site requirements. (1) Pepper production sites must
consist of pest-exclusionary structures, which must have double self-
closing doors and have all other windows, openings, and vents covered
with 1.6 mm (or less) screening.
(2) All production sites that participate in the export program
must be registered with the Peruvian NPPO.
(3) The production sites must be inspected prior to harvest for
Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guen[eacute]e) and Puccinia pampeana Speg.
If either of these pests, or other quarantine pests, are found to be
generally infesting or infecting the production site, the NPPO of Peru
will immediately prohibit that production site from exporting peppers
to the continental United States and its Territories and notify APHIS
of this action. The prohibition will remain in effect until the
Peruvian NPPO and APHIS determine that the pest risk has been
mitigated.
(4) The production sites must contain traps for the detection of
Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) and Ceratitis capitata (Widemann)
both within and around the structures. Internal traps must be set for
the duration of the time the production site is used to produce peppers
for export to the continental United States or the Territories.
External traps must be set for at least 2 months before export and
trapping must continue to the end of the harvest as follows:
(i) Traps with an approved protein bait must be placed inside the
production site at a density of four traps per hectare, with a minimum
of two traps per structure. Traps must be serviced once every 7 days.
(ii) If a single Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) or Ceratitis
capitata (Widemann) is detected inside a registered production site or
in a consignment, the registered production site will lose its ability
to export peppers to the continental United States or its Territories
until APHIS and the Peruvian NPPO mutually determine that risk
mitigation is achieved.
(iii) Traps with an approved protein bait must be placed inside a
buffer area 500 meters wide around the registered production site, at a
density of 1 trap per 10 hectares and a minimum of 10 traps. These
traps must be checked at least once every 7 days. At least one of these
traps must be near the production site.
(iv) Capture of 0.7 or more Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) or
Ceratitis capitata (Widemann) per trap per week will delay or suspend
the harvest, depending on whether harvest has begun, for consignments
of peppers from that registered production site until APHIS and the
Peruvian NPPO can agree that the pest risk has been mitigated.
(v) The Peruvian NPPO must maintain records of trap placement,
checking of traps, and any quarantine pest captures. The Peruvian NPPO
must maintain an APHIS-approved quality control program to monitor or
audit the trapping program. The trapping records must be maintained for
APHIS review.
(d) Packinghouse procedures. (1) All packinghouses that participate
in the export program must be registered with the Peruvian NPPO.
(2) The peppers must be packed within 24 hours of harvest in a
pest-exclusionary packinghouse. The peppers must be safeguarded by an
insect-proof mesh screen or plastic tarpaulin while in transit to the
packinghouse and while awaiting packing. The peppers must be packed in
insect-proof cartons or containers, or covered with insect-proof mesh
or plastic tarpaulin, for transit into the continental United States or
its Territories. These safeguards must remain intact until arrival in
the continental United States or its Territories or the consignment
will be denied entry into the continental United States or its
Territories.
(3) During the time the packinghouse is in use for exporting
peppers to the continental United States or its Territories, the
packinghouse may only accept peppers from registered approved
production sites.
(e) Phytosanitary certificate. Each consignment of peppers must be
accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate of inspection issued by the
Peruvian NPPO stating that the fruit in the consignment has been
produced in accordance with the requirements of the systems approach in
7 CFR 319.56-73.
