[aroid-l] Comments on small lot seed imports - U. S.

From: "G. D. M." <doji at interpac.net> on 2004.05.01 at 07:10:54(11462) ----------------------------------------------- We are proposing to amend the nursery stock regulations to allow the importation of small lots of seed under an import permit with specific conditions, as an alternative to the current phytosanitary certificate requirement. This proposed change is necessary because several entities that import small lots of seed-individual importers, horticultural societies, arboreta, and small businesses have had difficulty obtaining the necessary certificates and have been adversely affected by the phytosanitary certificate requirement. +More We will consider all comments that we receive on or before June 28, 2004. -------------------------------------------------------- USDA-APHIS RIN: 0579-AB78 Importation of Small Lots of Seed Without Phytosanitary Certificates -- APHIS Docket No. 02-119-1 STAGE: Proposed Rule ECONOMICALLY SIGNIFICANT: No RECEIVED: 02/23/2004 LEGAL DEADLINE: None COMPLETED: 04/19/2004 Consistent w/no change http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/library/OMBREGSC.html#USDA Please write with your opinion. Obscure items such as this often go the way that people on the staff think for lack of public input. Gary
