1. (AP26PPQHQ000C001) – Cooperative Agreement

Purpose: The purpose of this agreement is to prepare not authorized pending plant risk analysis (nappra) datasheets that would allow aphis PPQ IRM plants for planting staff to evaluate whether the plant meets the criteria of a quarantine pest plant or a host of a quarantine pest 2.
Activities: Nappra datasheets created will include the following information: 1) current nomenclature and author citation of the host taxon; 2) foreign places from which the importation of the taxa is not authorized; 3) quarantine pests of concern, including current nomenclature and author citation; and 4) potential economic or environmental damage expected if this quarantine pest were to establish. 3. Deliverables and expected outcomes: datasheets will support decisions to prohibit the importation of plant species as nappra. A proposed import prohibition would be based on results of peer-reviewed research that identify a plant species as a weed, or, as a host (introduction pathway) of non-native plant-pest arthropods or nematodes, or, of non-native phytopathogens. These datasheets will summarize those research results. 4. Intended beneficiary(IES): plants for planting staff, stakeholders, states 5. Subrecipient activities, if known or specified at the time of award: none
