NOTIFICATION
Addendum
The following communication, dated 14 June 2001, has been received from the United States.
_______________
Importation of Mangoes from the Philippines
USDA’s Animal and Plant Helath Inspection Service (APHIS) is amending the regulations
governing the importation of fruits and vegetables to allow the importation of mangoes from
Guimaras Island in the Republic of the Philippines, subject to inspection and the completion of a
prescribed vapor heat treatment.  APHIS believes that this action (final rule) is warranted because
there appears to be no significant pest risk associated with the importation of mangoes from Guimaras
Island in the Philippines under these circumstances.  This action will relieve restrictions on theimportation of mangoes from the Philippines without presenting a significant risk of introducing plant
pests into the United States.  The effective date is 14 June 2001.
