## Abstract

We are allowing Chaenomeles spp., Cydonia spp., Malus spp., Pyrus spp., and certain Prunus spp. plants (except seeds) to be imported into the United States as restricted articles, if grown in private nurseries in France and certified by the French plant protection service to be free of various diseases. This action relieves restrictions on the importation of these articles from France without presenting a significant risk of introducing plant pests (including diseases) into the United States. We are also removing Laredo, TX, from the list of ports equipped with plant inspection stations.
