Abstract
In a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on April 7, 2009, and effective on May 7, 2009, we amended the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation of sweet oranges and grapefruit from Chile into the continental United States. However, in making this change, we inadvertently amended the regulations to restrict the importation of clementines, mandarins, and tangerines from Chile to the continental United States and Hawaii, when in fact those fruits had been eligible for importation into the entire United States, including the territories. This technical amendment is necessary to correct that error.
