Plant Protection and Quarantine Plant Pest Permits Widely Prevalent Plant
Pathogenic Organisms
Plant protection and Quarantine (PPQ), Permits, Registrations, and
Imports (PRI) has developed, in cooperation with the American
Phytopathological Society (APS) and State Plant Regulatory Officials,
lists of pathogens determined to be prevalent within various States. These
lists will facilitate the prompt issuance of federal permits for the
interstate movement of pathogens determined to be prevalent in the
destination State(s).
Pathogen applications that meet the following qualifications will be
processed expeditiously:
Application must contain ONLY organisms stated on the widely prevalent
pathogen list for
the destination State;
Application must be for interstate movement, not from foreign sources
imported into the United States;
Organisms must be of domestic origin, not foreign isolates of organisms on
the lists;
Oganisms must not be for environmental release.
PPQ strongly encourages applicants to submit applications that
contain only the scientific names approved on the lists. The use of
unapproved synonyms may delay the processing of the
application.
PPQ is continuing to work with States to increase participation in
this procedure. Please continue to check this website for further updates
to the lists.
The Widely Prevalent Plant Pathogenic Organisms Website is now available.

This site can also be accessed from the PPQ Home Page under Hot Topics,
Plant Pest Home Page, and the Plant Pathogens Home page.

are in the process of being reviewed, updated and converted into this new
