A list of all such regulated articles is found on the internet at www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/plant-pest-and-disease-programs/pests-and-diseases/citrus/citrus-canker. Lists of all regulated articles may also be obtained by request from any local Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) office; local offices are listed in telephone directories and on the internet at www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/ppq-program-overview/sphd.

(b) Normal process for designating additional regulated articles.

(1) If the Administrator determines that an article not already listed at www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/plant-pest-and-disease-programs/pests-and-diseases/citrus/citrus-canker presents a risk of spread of citrus canker, APHIS will publish a notice in the Federal Register proposing to designate the article as a regulated article for citrus canker. The notice will provide the basis for this determination, and will request public comment.

(c) Immediate designation of regulated articles. An inspector may designate any other product, article, or means of conveyance , of any character whatsoever, not covered by paragraph (a) of this section, when it is determined by an inspector as a regulated article, if the inspector determines that it presents a risk of spread of citrus canker and the person in possession thereof has actual notice that the product, article, or means of conveyance is subject to the provisions of this subpart.
