Importation of Seed and Screenings under the Federal Seed Act (7 CFR 360.100-360.600)

549 Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA § 361.1 plantlpestlinfo/weeds/downloads/ delistingguide.pdf. Persons who submit a petition to remove a taxon from the noxious weed lists would be required to provide their name, address, telephone number, and (if available) e-mail ad dress. Persons who submit a petition to remove a taxon from the noxious weed lists are encouraged to provide the fol lowing information, which can help speed up the review process and help APHIS determine whether the specified plant taxon should not be listed as a noxious weed: (a) Evidence that the species is dis tributed throughout its potential range or has spread too far to implement ef fective control. (b) Evidence that control efforts have been unsuccessful and further efforts are unlikely to succeed. (c) For cultivars of a listed noxious weed, scientific evidence that the cultivar has a combination of risk ele ments that result in a low pest risk. For example, the cultivar may have a narrow habitat suitability, low dis persal potential, evidence of sterility, inability to cross-pollinate with intro duced wild types, or few if any poten tial negative impacts on the economy or environment of the United States. (d) List of references. [75 FR 68955, Nov. 10, 2010] § 360.600 Preemption of State and local laws. (a) Under section 436 of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7756), a State or political subdivision of a State may not regulate in foreign commerce any noxious weed in order to control it, eradicate it, or prevent its dissemina tion. A State or political subdivision of a State also may not impose prohibi tions or restrictions upon the move ment in interstate commerce of nox ious weeds if the Secretary has issued a regulation or order to prevent the dis semination of the noxious weed within the United States. The only exceptions to this are: (1) If the prohibitions or restrictions issued by the State or political subdivi sion of a State are consistent with and do not exceed the regulations or orders issued by the Secretary; or (2) If the State or political subdivi sion of a State demonstrates to the Secretary and the Secretary finds that there is a special need for additional prohibitions or restrictions based on sound scientific data or a thorough risk assessment. (b) Therefore, in accordance with sec tion 436 of the Plant Protection Act, the regulations in this part preempt all State and local laws and regulations that are inconsistent with or exceed the regulations in this part unless a special need request has been granted in accordance with the regulations in §§ 301.1 through 301.13 of this chapter.

Kind and variety names used on the label shall conform to the kind and va riety names used in the definitions of ‘‘agricultural seed’’ and ‘‘vegetable seed’’ in § 361.1. If any seed in the lot has been treated, each container must be further labeled, in type no smaller than 8 point, as follows: (1) The label must indicate that the seed has been treated and provide the name of the substance or process used to treat the seed. Substance names used on the label shall be the com monly accepted coined, chemical (ge neric), or abbreviated chemical name. (i) Commonly accepted coined names are commonly recognized as names of particular substances, e.g., thiram, captan, lindane, and dichlone. (ii) Examples of commonly accepted chemical (generic) names are blue stone, calcium carbonate, cuprous oxide, zinc hydroxide, hexachlorobenzene, and ethyl mercury acetate. The terms ‘‘mercury’’ or ‘‘mercurial’’ may be used in labeling all types of mercurials. (iii) Examples of commonly accepted abbreviated chemical names are BHC (1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane) and DDT (dichloro diphenyl trichloro ethane). (2) If the seed has been treated with a mercurial or similarly toxic sub stance harmful to humans and vertebrate animals, the label must in clude a representation of a skull and crossbones and a statement indicating that the seed has been treated with poison. The skull and crossbones must be at least twice the size of the type used for the information provided on the label, and the poison warning statement must be written in red let ters on a background of distinctly con trasting color.

If the seed is in containers and in quantities of 20,000 pounds or more, regardless of the number of lots included, the informa tion required on each container under paragraph (b) of this section need not be shown on each container if each con tainer has stenciled upon it or bears a label containing a lot designation and the invoice or other records accom panying and pertaining to such seed bear the various statements required for the respective seeds. (d) Each container of agricultural seed and vegetable seed imported into the United States for cleaning need not be labeled to show the information re quired under paragraph (b) of this sec tion if: (1) The seed is in bulk; (2) The seed is in containers and in quantities of 20,000 pounds or more, re gardless of the number of lots involved, and the invoice or other records accom panying and pertaining to the seed show that the seed is for cleaning; or (3) The seed is in containers and in quantities of less than 20,000 pounds, and each container carries a label that bears the words ‘‘Seed for cleaning.’’ § 361.4 Inspection at the port of first arrival. (a) All agricultural seed, vegetable seed, and screenings imported into the United States shall be made available for examination by an APHIS inspector at the port of first arrival and shall re main at the port of first arrival until released by an APHIS inspector. Lots of agricultural seed, vegetable seed, or screenings may enter the United States without meeting the sampling require ments of paragraph (b) of this section if the lot is: (1) Seed that is not being imported for seeding (planting) purposes and the declaration required by § 361.3(a) states the purpose for which the seed is being imported; (2) Seed that is being shipped in bond through the United States; (3) Screenings from seeds of wheat, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, field corn, sorghum, broomcorn, flax, millet, proso, soybeans, cowpeas, field peas, or field beans that are not being imported for seeding (planting) purposes and the declaration accompanying the screenings as required under § 361.2(a) indicates that the screenings are being imported for processing or manufac turing purposes; (4) Seed that is being imported for sowing for experimental or breeding purposes, is not for sale, is limited in quantity to the amount indicated in column 3 of table 1 of § 361.5, and is ac companied by a declaration stating the purpose for which it is being imported (seed imported for increase purposes only will not be considered as being im ported for experimental or breeding purposes); or (5) Seed that was grown in the United States, exported, and is now returning to the United States, provided that the person importing the seed into the United States furnishes APHIS with the following documentation: (i) Export documents indicating the quantity of seed and number of con tainers, the date of exportation from the United States, the distinguishing marks on the containers at the time of exportation, and the name and address of the United States exporter; (ii) A document issued by a Customs or other government official of the country to which the seed was exported VerDate Sep<11>2014 09:24 Feb 15, 2018 Jkt 244016 PO 00000 Frm 00565 Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\244016.XXX 244016ns h a tt u ck o n D S K 9 F 9 S C 4 2 P R O D w ith C F R 556 7 CFR Ch.

(b) Except as provided in §§ 361.5(a)(2) and 361.7, samples will be taken from all agricultural seed and vegetable seed imported into the United States for seeding (planting) purposes prior to being released into the commerce of the United States. (1) Samples of seed will be taken from each lot of seed in accordance with § 361.5 to determine whether any seeds of noxious weeds listed in § 361.6(a) are present. If seeds of noxious weeds are present at a level higher than the tolerances set forth in § 361.6(b), the lot of seed will be deemed to be adulterated and will be rejected for entry into the United States for seeding (planting) purposes. Once deemed adulterated, the lot of seed must be: (i) Exported from the United States; (ii) Destroyed under the monitoring of an APHIS inspector; (iii) Cleaned under APHIS moni toring at a seed-cleaning facility that is operated in accordance with § 361.8(a); or (iv) If the lot of seed is adulterated with the seeds of a noxious weed listed in § 361.6(a)(2), the seed may be allowed entry into the United States for feed ing or manufacturing purposes, pro vided the importer withdraws the origi nal declaration and files a new declara tion stating that the seed is being im ported for feeding or manufacturing purposes and that no part of the seed will be used for seeding (planting) pur poses. (2) Seed deemed adulterated may not be mixed with any other seed unless the Administrator determines that two or more lots of seed deemed adulter ated are of substantially the same quality and origin. In such cases, the Administrator may allow the adulter ated lots of seed to be mixed for clean ing as provided in paragraph (b)(1)(iii) of this section. (3) If the labeling of a lot of seed is false or misleading in any respect, the seed will be rejected for entry into the United States. A falsely labeled lot of seed must be: (i) Exported from the United States; (ii) Destroyed under the monitoring of an APHIS inspector; or (iii) The seed may be allowed entry into the United States if the labeling is corrected under the monitoring of an APHIS inspector to accurately reflect the character of the lot of seed. § 361.5 Sampling of seeds. (a) Sample sizes. As provided in § 361.4(b), samples of seed will be taken from each lot of seed being imported for seeding (planting) purposes to de termine whether any seeds of noxious weeds listed in § 361.6(a) are present. The samples shall be drawn in the man ner described in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section. Unused portions of sam ples of rare or expensive seeds will be returned by APHIS upon request of the importer. (1) A minimum sample of not less than 1 quart shall be drawn from each lot of agricultural seed; a minimum sample of not less than 1 pint shall be drawn from each lot of vegetable seed, except that a sample of 1⁄4 pint will be sufficient for a vegetable seed importa tion of 5 pounds or less. The minimum sample shall be divided repeatedly until a working sample of proper weight has been obtained. If a mechan ical divider cannot be used or is not available, the sample shall be thor oughly mixed, then placed in a pile; the pile shall be divided repeatedly into halves until a working sample of the proper weight remains. The weights of the working samples for noxious weed examination for each lot of seed are shown in column 1 of table 1 of this section. If the lot of seed is a mixture, the following methods shall be used to determine the weight of the working sample: (i) If the lot of seed is a mixture con sisting of one predominant kind of seed or a group of kinds of similar size, the weight of the working sample shall be the weight shown in column 1 of table 1 of this section for the kind or group of kinds that comprises more than 50 percent of the sample.

(2) It is not ordinarily practical to sample and test small lots of seed of fered for entry. The maximum sizes of lots of each kind of seed not ordinarily sampled are shown in column 2 of table 1 of this section.

III (1–1–18 Edition) § 361.5 (2) For lots of six or fewer bags, each bag shall be sampled. A total of at least five trierfuls shall be taken from the lot. (3) For lots of more than six bags, five bags plus at least 10 percent of the number of bags in the lot shall be sam pled. (Round off numbers with decimals to the nearest whole number, raising 0.5 to the next whole number.) Regard less of the lot size, it is not necessary to sample more than 30 bags. (4) When the lot of seed to be sampled is comprised of seed in small con tainers that cannot practically be sam pled as described in paragraph (b)(2) or (b)(3) of this section, entire unopened containers may be taken in sufficient number to supply a sample that meets the minimum size requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section. (c) Drawing samples. Samples will not be drawn unless each container is la beled to show the lot designation and the name of the kind and variety of each agricultural seed, or kind and va riety of each vegetable seed, appearing on the invoice and other entry papers, and a declaration has been filed by the importer as required under § 361.2(a). In order to secure a representative sam ple, an APHIS inspector will draw equal portions from evenly distributed parts of the quantity of seed to be sam pled; the APHIS inspector, therefore, must be given access to all parts of that quantity. (1) For free-flowing seed in bags or in bulk, a probe or trier shall be used. For small free-flowing seed in bags, a probe or trier long enough to sample all por tions of the bag shall be used. When drawing more than one trierful of seed from a bag, a different path through the seed shall be used when drawing each sample. (2) For non-free-flowing seed in bags or bulk that may be difficult to sample with a probe or trier, samples shall be obtained by thrusting one’s hand into the seed and withdrawing representa tive portions. The hand shall be in serted in an open position with the fin gers held closely together while the hand is being inserted and the portion withdrawn. When more than one hand ful is taken from a bag, the handfuls shall be taken from well-separated points. (3) When more than one sample is drawn from a single lot, the samples may be combined into a composite sample unless it appears that the quan tity of seed represented as a lot is not of uniform quality, in which case the separate samples shall be forwarded to gether, but without being combined into a composite sample. (d) In most cases, samples will be drawn and examined by an APHIS in spector at the port of first arrival. The APHIS inspector may release a ship ment if no contaminants are found and the labeling is sufficient. If contami nants are found or the labeling of the seed is insufficient, the APHIS inspec tor may forward the sample to the USDA Seed Examination Facility (SEF), Beltsville, MD, for analysis, testing, or examination. APHIS will notify the owner or consignee of the seed that samples have been drawn and forwarded to the SEF and that the shipment must be held intact pending a decision by APHIS as to whether the seed is within the noxious weed seed tolerances of § 361.6 and is accurately labeled. If the decision pending is with regard to the noxious weed seed con tent of the seed and the seed has been determined to be accurately labeled, the seed may be released for delivery to the owner or consignee under the following conditions: (1) The owner or consignee executes with Customs either a Customs single entry bond or a Customs term bond, as appropriate, in such amount as is pre scribed by applicable Customs regula tions; (2) The bond must contain a condi tion for the redelivery of the seed or any part thereof upon demand of the Port Director of Customs at any time; (3) Until the seed is approved for entry upon completion of APHIS’ ex amination, the seed must be kept in tact and not tampered with in any way, or removed from the containers except under the monitoring of an APHIS in spector; and (4) The owner or consignee must keep APHIS informed as to the location of the seed until it is finally entered into the commerce of the United States.
