In 2005, APHIS developed the Minimum Sanitation Protocol for Offshore Geranium Cutting
Production protocol in response to introductions of Rs R3bv2 on imported geranium cuttings
in 1999 and 2003. The current version of the protocol was released in 2007; it has not been
updated since. Detection of Rs R3bv2 in the United States in April 2020 and suspect
detections at ports of entry in November 2021 and January 2023 demonstrate the need to
update the existing protocol.
The updated draft Ralstonia Exclusion Program (REP) framework provides unified offshore
facility standards to address Rs R3bv2 for all propagative hosts. The updated REP
framework will close known sanitation and testing gaps in the existing protocol as well as
clarify roles and responsibilities of all program participants. It also provides updated standard
operating procedures to execute following an Rs R3bv2 detection.
APHIS works closely with industry to ensure these facilities are compliant with APHIS
requirements.
Please email your comments on the updated draft Ralstonia Exclusion Program (REP)
framework to ppq.nappra@aphis.usda.gov. The comment period closes April 5, 2024.
