We are amending the regulations regarding the importation of
wheat and related articles by removing the prohibitions related to flag
smut. Based on a number of considerations, we have concluded that U.S.
wheat will not be at risk if those prohibitions are removed. We will,
however, continue to prohibit the importation of wheat and related
articles from flag smut-affected countries until a risk evaluation can
be completed to ensure that those articles do not introduce other plant
pests. This action removes flag smut-related prohibitions that no
longer appear to be necessary while continuing to provide protection
against other potential pests or diseases of wheat.
