{"abstract":"We are advising the public that we have prepared a pest risk analysis that evaluates the risks associated with importation of fresh sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.)) roots from the Republic of Korea into the United States for consumption. Currently, fresh sweet potato roots are authorized into Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Based on the analysis, we have determined that the application of one or more designated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation of fresh sweet potato roots from the Republic of Korea into the rest of the United States. We are making the pest risk analysis available to the public for review and comment.","action":"Notice of availability.","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/2026/03/13/2026-04922.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"91 FR 12339","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2026-05-12","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"We will consider all comments that we receive on or before May 12, 2026.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. APHIS-2025-0013"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Importation of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.)) roots from the Republic of Korea into the United States for consumption Pest Risk Assessment November 2023","document_id":"APHIS-2025-0013-0004"},{"title":"Importation of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) roots for consumption from the Republic of Korea into the United States Risk Management Document April 2025","document_id":"APHIS-2025-0013-0003"},{"title":"Market Expansion of fresh sweet potato roots from the Republic of Korea into the rest of the United States  Economic Effects Assessment May 2025","document_id":"APHIS-2025-0013-0002"}],"agency_name":"APHIS","documents":[{"comment_count":42,"comment_start_date":"2026-03-13","updated_at":"2026-05-13T01:57:05.242-04:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/APHIS-2025-0013-0001","allow_late_comments":false,"id":"APHIS-2025-0013-0001","comment_end_date":"2026-05-13","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":3,"id":"APHIS-2025-0013","title":"Expansion of market access for sweet potatoes into United States."}],"document_number":"2026-04922","effective_on":null,"end_page":12340,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2026/03/13/2026-04922.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/03/13/2026-04922/notice-of-availability-of-a-pest-risk-analysis-for-the-importation-of-fresh-sweet-potato-ipomoea","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2026-04922?publication_date=2026-03-13","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2026-03-13/2026-04922/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":322,"last_updated":"2026-06-24 20:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-03-13/pdf/2026-04922.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-04922.pdf?1773319511","publication_date":"2026-03-13","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2026/03/13/2026-04922.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Importation of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.)) roots from the Republic of Korea into the United States for consumption Pest Risk Assessment November 2023","document_id":"APHIS-2025-0013-0004"},{"title":"Importation of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) roots for consumption from the Republic of Korea into the United States Risk Management Document April 2025","document_id":"APHIS-2025-0013-0003"},{"title":"Market Expansion of fresh sweet potato roots from the Republic of Korea into the rest of the United States  Economic Effects Assessment May 2025","document_id":"APHIS-2025-0013-0002"}],"comments_count":42,"agency_id":"APHIS","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=APHIS-2025-0013","supporting_documents_count":3,"docket_id":"APHIS-2025-0013","document_id":"APHIS-2025-0013-0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Expansion of market access for sweet potatoes into United States.","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2026-05-14T04:55:13Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":12339,"subtype":null,"title":"Notice of Availability of a Pest Risk Analysis for the Importation of Fresh Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.))
