 | | The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is the agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) responsible for protecting the domestic food and fiber industry from foreign pests and diseases. | | | APHIS officials also pointed out that Congress could not have foreseen important future technologies such as biological controls and genetically engineered crops when it passed the original plant quarantine laws. | | | The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is the lead federal agency for protecting U.S. agriculture from harmful foreign pests, noxious weeds and plant diseases. |

| | Solid Wood Packing Material from China, Federal Register: 63 FR 50100, 9/18/98 |
| | APHIS estimates that between 50 to 95 percent of shipments of electrical machinery, sports equipment, and machinery contain some type of SWPM, while 30 percent or less of furniture and optical/medical instruments are packaged with SWPM.12 In general, clothing articles, textiles, and food and agricultural items are not likely to be shipped with SWPM. | | | It was also consistent with APHIS' actions in the past, where we implemented import bans on a product from a country when the association of plant pests with the product was well established and it was not practical to enforce treatment for the pests. | | | APHIS, Plant Protection and Quarantine, recently completed a plant pest risk assessment that focuses on four taxa intercepted on SWPM from China. |

| | U.S. Exempts Iceland from Equine Disease Testing Regulation |
| | APHIS said it made the determination because Iceland has never had a reported case of these diseases, therefore posing "a negligible risk" of introducing them into the United States via imported horses. | | | The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) will no longer require that horses imported from Iceland be tested for dourine, glanders, equine piroplasmosis, and equine infectious anemia during the quarantine period following importation. | | | This final rule relieves certain testing requirements for horses imported from Iceland while continuing to protect against the introduction of communicable diseases of horses into the United States. |
