APHIS is making available for public comment three draft pest risk assessments (PRAs) for the importation of the following groups of aquatic plants in approved growing media from Denmark into the continental United States (including Alaska):
Echinodorus tenellus and E. uruguayensis
Eleocharis parvula
Ludwigia arcuata, L. glandulosa and L. repens
Your comments will be considered and may result in changes to the risk assessments or pest lists. However, we are unable to provide you with individual feedback regarding your comments. When providing comments, please note:
You will not find mitigations for pests shown in draft pest lists and risk assessments. Risk Management, including mitigations, is conducted after we receive stakeholder and country comments on each pest list or risk assessment.
You will have additional opportunities to provide comments on our risk assessments or pest lists when the respective proposed rules or notices are available for comment in the Federal Register.
These draft PRAs are posted on the APHIS Web site at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/plants/plant_imports/process/stakeholder_consultation.shtml.
Please submit your comments by email to PPQPRAcomments@aphis.usda.gov. We are accepting comments until October 24, 2013.
