#  Special foreign inspection and certification requirements.

**AGENCY:**

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

We are correcting an error in the amendatory instructions in our final rule that amended the provisions of a certification program for articles of *Pelargonium* spp. and *Solanum* spp. imported from countries where the bacterium *Ralstonia solanacearum* race 3 biovar 2 is known to occur. The final rule was effective and published in the *Federal Register* on October 24, 2005 (70 FR 61351-61362, Docket No. 03-019-3).

**EFFECTIVE DATE:**

December 1, 2005.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Ms. Jeanne Van Dersal, Import Specialist, Phytosanitary Issues Management Team, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 140, Riverdale, MD 20737-1236; (301) 734-6653.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

In a final rule effective and published in the *Federal Register* on October 24, 2005 (70 FR 61351-61362, Docket No. 03-019-3), we amended the provisions of a certification program for articles of *Pelargonium* spp. and *Solanum* spp. imported from countries where the bacterium *Ralstonia solanacearum* race 3 biovar 2 is known to occur.

In the final rule, it was our intention to amend the regulations by amending paragraph (r)(3)(viii) of § 319.37-5 to modify its restrictions on growing media used in production of articles of *Pelargonium* spp. and *Solanum* spp. under the certification program. However, our amendatory instruction referred instead to paragraph (r)(3)(vii). This document corrects that error by revising paragraph (r)(3)(viii).

**List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 319**

Coffee, Cotton, Fruits, Imports, Logs, Nursery stock, Plant diseases and pests, Quarantine, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Rice, Vegetables.

**7 CFR Part 319**

Accordingly, 7 CFR part 319 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments:

**PART 319—FOREIGN QUARANTINE NOTICES**

1. The authority citation for part 319 continues to read as follows:

**Authority:**

7 U.S.C. 450, 7701-7772, and 7781-7786; 21 U.S.C. 136 and 136a; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 371.3.

**7 CFR Part 319**

2. In § 319.37-5, revise paragraph (r)(3)(viii) to read as follows:

§ 319.37-5

(r) * * *

(3) * * *

(viii) Growing media for articles of *Pelargonium* spp. and *Solanum* spp. must be free of *R. solanacearum* race 3 biovar 2. Growing media and containers for articles of *Pelargonium* spp. and *Solanum* spp. must not come in contact with growing media that could transmit *R. solanacearum* race 3 biovar 2 and must be grown in an APHIS-approved growing medium.

Done in Washington, DC, this 22nd day of November 2005.
