The Not Authorized Pending Pest Risk Analysis list (APHIS-2011-0072
<http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;dct=FR+PR+N+O+SR;rpp=10;po=0;D=AP
HIS-2011-0072> ) of plants and flowers has been published by USDA for public
comment. The NAPPRA list are those plants which could be prohibited for
import into the U.S. until a pest risk analysis has been completed for them.

Society of American Florists said the list is another step in APHIS' efforts
to revise the Quarantine 37 regulations. The list includes 41 taxa of plants
that may be quarantine pests themselves (invasive), and 107 taxa that could
be hosts of 13 quarantine pests and are therefore suggested for addition to
the list.

APHIS has prepared data sheets that detail the scientific evidence it
evaluated in making the determination that the taxa are quarantine pests or
hosts of quarantine pests. The data sheets are available to the public for
review and comment.

SAF will formally comment on the list and is urging growers and businesses
to review the list and comment individually and to advise SAF of any
specific concerns. Comments are due Sept. 26, 2011.
