[Docket No. APHIS-2011-0059]


Notice of Establishment of a New Plant Protection and Quarantine 
Stakeholder Registry

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of a new Plant 
Protection and Quarantine email subscription service and advises 
current subscribers on how to continue receiving emails on topics of 
interest.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information on the PPQ Stakeholder 
Registry, contact Ms. Donna L. West, Senior Import Specialist, 
Regulatory Coordination and Compliance, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road 
Unit 133, Riverdale, MD 20737; (301) 734-0627.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) 
stakeholder registry is an email subscription service that allows 
individuals to receive information about PPQ activities on a variety of 
plant health topics. PPQ has redesigned the registry to enable PPQ to 
more effectively communicate urgent messages to the public and keep the 
public informed on day-to-day activities. Current subscribers will need 
to subscribe to the new PPQ Stakeholder Registry in order to continue 
receiving emails on PPQ-related topics.
    Subscribers will be able to choose from an array of PPQ topics such 
as PPQ hot issues, Federal notices, irradiation programs, foreign pests 
and diseases, plant pest programs, and updates to manuals and the 
Fruits and Vegetables Import Requirements database. Subscribers may 
also select how often to receive emails, Really Simple Syndication 
(RSS) feeds, or Short Message Service (SMS) messages.
    Current and new subscribers may sign up now for the new registry at 
https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDAAPHIS/subscriber/new or by 
clicking on the red envelope icon throughout the plant health pages on 
the APHIS Web site at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/index.shtml. The current PPQ stakeholder registry will be disabled on 
July 8, 2011. Questions concerning the PPQ stakeholder registry may be 
directed to [email protected].

    Done in Washington, DC, this 17th day of June 2011.
Kevin Shea,
Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
