We are amending the fruits and vegetables regulations to list kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa and Actinidia chinensis) from Chile as eligible for importation into the United States subject to a systems approach. Under this systems approach, the fruit will have to be grown in a place of production that is registered with the Government of Chile and certified as having a low prevalence of Brevipalpus chilensis. The fruit will have to undergo pre-harvest sampling at the registered production site. Following post-harvest processing, the fruit will have to be inspected in Chile at an approved inspection site. Each consignment of fruit will have to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that the fruit had been found free of Brevipalpus chilensis based on field and packinghouse inspections. This rule allows for the safe importation of kiwi from Chile using mitigation measures other than fumigation with methyl bromide.

Importation of Kiwi From Chile Into the United States

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are amending the fruits and vegetables regulations to list
kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa and Actinidia chinensis) from Chile as
eligible for importation into the United States subject to a systems
approach. Under this systems approach, the fruit will have to be grown
in a place of production that is registered with the Government of
Chile and certified as having a low prevalence of Brevipalpus
chilensis. The fruit will have to undergo pre-harvest sampling at the
registered production site. Following post-harvest processing, the
fruit will have to be inspected in Chile at an approved inspection
site. Each consignment of fruit will have to be accompanied by a
phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that
the fruit had been found free of Brevipalpus chilensis based on field
and packinghouse inspections. This rule allows for the safe importation
of kiwi from Chile using mitigation measures other than fumigation with
methyl bromide.

DATES: Effective October 19, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Under the regulations in ``Subpart-Fruits and Vegetables'' (7 CFR
319.56-1 through 319.56-73, referred to below as the regulations), the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture prohibits or restricts the importation of
fruits and vegetables into the United States from certain parts of the
world to prevent plant pests from being introduced into and spread
within the United States.
On October 16, 2014, we published in the Federal Register (79 FR
62055-62058, Docket No. APHIS-2014-0002) a proposal \1\ to amend the
regulations by listing kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa and Actinidia
chinensis) from Chile as eligible for importation into the United
States under the same systems approach as baby kiwi from Chile, which
are eligible for importation under the conditions in Sec. 319.56-53.
We also prepared a commodity import evaluation document (CIED) titled
``Importation of Fresh Fruits of Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa and
Actinidia chinensis) from Chile into the United

[[Page 55740]]

States.'' The CIED assesses the risks associated with the importation
of kiwi from Chile into the United States under the listed
phytosanitary measures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ To view the proposed rule, supporting documents, and the
comments we received, go to http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=APHIS-2014-0002.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

We solicited comments concerning our proposal for 60 days ending
December 15, 2014. We received seven comments by that date. They were
from private citizens, a fruit exporter, an industry group, and
representatives of State and foreign governments. Four of the comments
were supportive. Three commenters expressed concerns regarding aspects
of the proposed rule. Those concerns are discussed below.
In the proposed rule, we proposed that a random sample of kiwi
would have to be washed using a flushing method, placed in a 20-mesh
sieve on top of a 200-mesh sieve, sprinkled with a liquid soap and
water solution, washed with water at high pressure, and washed with
water at low pressure. The washing process would then have to be
repeated immediately after the first washing. The contents of the 200-
mesh sieve would then be placed on a petri dish and analyzed for the
presence of live Brevipalpus chilensis mites. This mite sampling method
is identical to the method currently in use for baby kiwi production
areas in Chile and has been found to be successful in identifying
production areas within Chile with high and low populations of mites.
One commenter stated that the washing process should be expanded to
include all fruit in a shipment.
The washing process is used as a way to sample for the presence of
B. chilensis in order to confirm the low prevalence of B. chilensis in
certified production areas within Chile. It is not intended as a
phytosanitary measure.
Two commenters recommended that 270 mesh be used in place of 200
mesh for sampling at the port of entry because they stated that 200
mesh may not be fine enough to detect immature stages of B. chilensis.
Fruit has been imported from Chile since 1997 using a systems
approach based on sampling for mites using a 200 mesh screen. Any eggs
or nymphs found using a finer mesh sieve cannot be identified to
species. This systems approach is based on low prevalence for adult
mites, not pest freedom. If even one adult B. chilensis mite is found
in a shipment, it is enough to disqualify a place of production from
the export program. APHIS has successfully used this approach for 18
years for determining areas of low prevalence for a number of Chilean
fruits.
Therefore, for the reasons given in the proposed rule and in this
document, we are adopting the proposed rule as a final rule, without
change.

Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Flexibility Act

This final 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 the Regulatory Flexibility Act, we have analyzed
the potential economic effects of this action on small entities.
Production, consumption, and trade of kiwi by the United States have
been expanding and are expected to continue to increase, as shown in
table 1. Over the 5 years from 2008 through 2012, U.S. kiwi production
and imports expanded by about 29 percent and 24 percent, respectively,
and U.S. exports by 48 percent. U.S. consumption of kiwi grew by about
23 percent over this same period.
The United States is dependent on imports for the major share of
its kiwi supply. In 2012, nearly four of every five kiwis consumed were
imported. Chile is the principal foreign source, supplying one-half of
the kiwis imported by the United States in 2012, up from approximately
one-third of U.S. kiwi imports in 2008. Chile is expected to continue
to dominate the supply of kiwi to the United States in the near term.
Under this rule, Chile's kiwi exporters will have the option of using
the systems approach rather than relying on fumigation with methyl
bromide to meet import requirements.
Although the United States is a net importer of kiwi, the
percentage increase in U.S. kiwi exports between 2008 and 2012 was
twice the percentage increase in U.S. kiwi imports; U.S. producers are
actively expanding their sales to other countries. We also note that
kiwi imports from Chile are largely counter-seasonal to kiwi sales by
domestic producers. California produces 98 percent the kiwis grown in
the United States, and the California season runs October through
May.\2\ Kiwi from Chile is predominantly imported during the spring and
summer months. Ninety-four percent of Chilean kiwi imported in 2012
arrived between April and September.\3\

\2\ U.S. consumption calculated as production plus imports minus exports.

Although kiwi production in the United States is expanding, it
remains a relatively small agricultural industry, with fewer than 300
growers whose farms average about 13 acres. Nevertheless, it is a
vibrant industry with an expanding export market. This fact, together
with the counter-seasonality of kiwi imports from Chile, suggests that
the economic impact of the rule for U.S. small entities will be minor.

[[Page 55741]]

Under these circumstances, the Administrator of the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that this action will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.

Executive Order 12988

This final rule allows kiwi to be imported into the United States
from Chile. State and local laws and regulations regarding kiwi
imported under this rule will be preempted while the fruit is in
foreign commerce. Fresh fruits are generally imported for immediate
distribution and sale to the consuming public, and 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. 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

This final rule contains no new information collection or
recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
