We are amending the regulations
governing the importation of citrus fruit to allow, under certain
condition, Unshu oranges grown in Kyushu Island, Japan, to be
imported into the United States. We are also amending the
regulations for importing Unshu oranges from Honshu Island, Japan,
by requiring fumigation using methyl bromide prior to exportation
and by allowing the fruit to be distributed to additional areas of
the United States. In addition, we are removing the requirement for
individually wrapping Unshu oranges imported from Japan or the
Republic of Korea.
