  <description><![CDATA[ We are amending the regulations governing the importation of
nursery stock and other articles by designating the ports of Atlanta,
Georgia, and Agana, Guam, as plant inspection stations. The addition of
the two plant inspection stations will help reduce transportation time
and costs to importers who must currently import plants through
inspection stations that are considerably distant from the importers'
facilities.

  <title><![CDATA[Importation of Fruits and Vegetables ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-18-03-31202</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ We propose to amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to
list a number of fruits and vegetables from certain parts of the world
as eligible, under specified conditions, for importation into the
United States. All of the fruits and vegetables, as a condition of
entry, would be inspected and subject to treatment at the port of first
arrival as may be required by an inspector. In addition, some of the
fruits and vegetables would be required to meet other special
conditions. We also propose to recognize areas in Peru as free from the
South American cucurbit fly. These actions would provide the United
States with additional types and sources of fruits and vegetables while
continuing to protect against the introduction of quarantine pests
through imported fruits and vegetables.

  <title><![CDATA[Payette National Forest, Krassel and McCall Ranger Districts, Idaho; and Boise National Forest, Cascade Ranger District,]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-18-03-31190</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The USDA Forest Service will prepare an environmental impact
statement (EIS) for management of noxious and invasive weeds in the
South Fork Salmon River (SFSR) Subbasin. The analysis area of
approximately 788,660 acres includes headwater streams to the Salmon
River and includes portions of the Boise National Forest (BNF) and
Payette National Forest (PNF) in central Idaho. The subbasin is
immediately adjacent to and upstream of the Frank Church River of No
Return (FCRONR) Wilderness. The purpose of the proposed project is to
identify and treat noxious and invasive weeds using a variety of
methods including herbicide application by hand and aerial spraying.
The need is to minimize the impacts of noxious and invasive weeds. The
EIS will disclose the environmental effects of the proposed action and
alternatives. The Forest Service now invites comments on the scope of
the analysis and the issues to address.
