Comments on the proposed rule were required to be received on or

online for review during the entire comment period. In addition, a few
commenters reported difficulties in accessing the protocols with the
web link provided in the proposed rule. To ensure that all persons
wishing to comment on the protocols have that opportunity, we are
reopening the comment period on Docket No. APHIS-2018-0041 for an
additional 30 days from the date of publication of this notice. The
protocols are available for review on the Plant Protection and
Quarantine website at https://www.aphis.usda.gov/planthealth/pcn, and
on the Regulations.gov website at https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=APHIS-2018-0041. This action will allow interested persons
additional time to review all the protocols and to prepare and submit
comments. We will also consider all comments received between May 4,
2019, and the date of this notice.
