{"abstract":"We are amending the regulations concerning the importation of fruits and vegetables to allow the importation of fresh blueberries from Morocco into the continental United States. As a condition of entry, the blueberries must be produced under a systems approach employing a combination of mitigation measures for two quarantine pests, Ceratitis capitata and Monilinia fructigena, and must be inspected prior to exportation from Morocco and found free of these pests. The blueberries may be imported in commercial consignments only and must be treated with one of two approved postharvest treatments to mitigate C. capitata. The blueberries will have to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that the conditions for importation have been met. This action will allow the importation of blueberries from Morocco while continuing to protect 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/2014/07/30/2014-17843.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":319,"title":7}],"citation":"79 FR 44117","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: August 29, 2014.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. APHIS-2013-0016"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2014-17843","effective_on":"2014-08-29","end_page":44120,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2014/07/30/2014-17843.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/07/30/2014-17843/importation-of-fresh-blueberries-from-morocco-into-the-continental-united-states","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2014-17843?publication_date=2014-07-30","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2014-07-30/2014-17843/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":806,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 16:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-07-30/pdf/2014-17843.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2014-17843.pdf?1406638036","publication_date":"2014-07-30","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2014/07/30/2014-17843.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0579-AD81":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0579-AD81"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Importation of Blueberries from Morocco: Final Economic analysis","document_id":"APHIS-2013-0016-0011"},{"title":"Risk Management Document\nImportation of Fresh Fruit of Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) and its hybrid varieties Southern Highbush Blueberry [V. corymbosum x angustifolium (V. x atlanticum) and V. corymbosum x virgatum] into the Continental Un","document_id":"APHIS-2013-0016-0004"},{"title":"Importation of Fresh Fruit of Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum Linnaeus) and its hybrid varieties Southern Highbush Blueberry [V. corymbosum x angustifolium (V. x atlanticum) and V. corymbosum x virgatum] into the Continental United States from Mo","document_id":"APHIS-2013-0016-0003"},{"title":"Analysis in Support of Certification that the Rule will not have a Significant Economic Impact on a Substantial Number of Small Entities","document_id":"APHIS-2013-0016-0002"}],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=APHIS-2013-0016","supporting_documents_count":4,"docket_id":"APHIS-2013-0016","regulation_id_number":"0579-AD81","title":"Importation of Fresh Blueberry Fruit From Morocco Into the Continental United States","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2014-08-19T06:00:11Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":44117,"subtype":null,"title":"Importation of Fresh Blueberries From Morocco Into the Continental United States","toc_doc":"Importation of Fresh Blueberries from Morocco into the Continental United States","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Coffee","Cotton","Fruits","Imports","Nursery stock","Plant diseases and pests","Quarantine","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Rice","Vegetables"],"type":"Rule","volume":79}
