Decision To Revise Conditions Governing the Importation of Fresh Peppers from the Republic of Korea 
Into the Continental United States [Docket No. APHIS -2016-0094]  
APHIS is advising the public of its decision to revise the conditions regarding the importation into the 
continental United States of peppers from the Republic of K orea. APHIS has decided that the mesh 
size of screenings over vent openings can be increased from 0.6 mm to 1.6 mm, provided that sticky 
traps are used as an additional measure for pest monitoring. This action modifies the conditions under 
which peppers fr om the Republic of Korea may be imported into the continental United States while 
continuing to protect against the introduction of quarantine pests. [Federal Register Vol. 84, No. 90, 
Thursday, 9 May  2019, pp 20324 -20325]
