{"abstract":"We are amending the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation of fragrant pears from China under certain conditions. As a condition of entry, fragrant pears from China must be grown in the Korla region of Xinjiang Province in a production site that is registered with the national plant protection organization of China. The fragrant pears will be subject to inspection. In addition, the pears must be packed in cartons that are labeled in accordance with the regulations, shipped in insect-proof containers, and safeguarded from pest infestation during transport to the United States. This action will allow fragrant pears to be imported from China while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of plant pests into the United States.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service","name":"Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service","id":22,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/animal-and-plant-health-inspection-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/22","parent_id":12,"slug":"animal-and-plant-health-inspection-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2005/12/23/05-24423.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":319,"title":7}],"citation":"70 FR 76133","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: January 23, 2006.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. 02-049-2"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"05-24423","effective_on":"2006-01-23","end_page":76140,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2005/12/23/05-24423.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/23/05-24423/importation-of-fragrant-pears-from-china","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/05-24423?publication_date=2005-12-23","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2005-12-23/05-24423/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":8,"page_views":{"count":309,"last_updated":"2026-06-06 20:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-23/pdf/05-24423.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2005-12-23","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2005/12/23/05-24423.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T17:42:05Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":76133,"subtype":null,"title":"Importation of Fragrant Pears From China","toc_doc":"Fragrant pears from China; importation","toc_subject":"Plant-related quarantine, foreign:","topics":["Coffee","Cotton","Fruits","Imports","Nursery stock","Plant diseases and pests","Quarantine","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Rice","Vegetables"],"type":"Rule","volume":70}
