Genesis: Why have this program?
• Outcome of stakeholder reviews of APHIS safeguarding system:– Plant Safeguarding Review (NPB - 1999)
– Animal Safeguarding Review (NASDA - 2001)
• Designed for unintentional pest/disease introduction
• Additional tool to complement existing pest monitoring and surveillance systems, programs

Plant Protection and Quarantine
And…
• Meets APHIS strategic goals and objectives – APHIS Mission Priority 1: Strengthen our safeguarding system domestically and in other countries– The APHIS Exotic Fruit Fly Strategic Plan
• Priority 4: Encourage development of exotic fruit fly detection and management of programs in the Caribbean Basin and Central America to act as an early warning system and further reduce the risk of introduction
• Priority 5: Reduce risk of entry of exotic fruit flies, especially Medfly, through technical support for fruit fly risk reduction activities worldwide.
• Homeland Security Presidential Directive HSPD-9
– National policy to defend agriculture and food system (Jan. 2004)– Awareness and warning section– Develop surveillance and monitoring systems for international information on animal and plant disease
• National Invasive Species Council (NISC) E.O. 13112– Article 17 - Mgmt. plan to implement process for identifying priority invasive species likely to be
introduced unintentionally

OPIP Mission Statement
The mission of OPIP is to systematically collect, report,
assess, and communicate information regarding pests
and diseases in other countries to enhance APHIS’
preparedness and ability to reduce the risk of
introducing these exotic species into the United States

Where is OPIP on the Safeguarding Continuum?
Key Elements of NRP Framework (cont’d.)
• Prevention– Primary agency (APHIS)
– Ports of Entry
– Domestic quarantines
– Offshore risk management Pre-clearance: 25 countries, 41 commodities
Offshore Pest Information Program (OPIP) Collaborative agreements w/ countries: AGM

OPIS Pest Reports and Outcomes: Example
Pest: Senecio inaequidens (narrow-leaved ragwort, South African ragwort)
First reported: OPIS weekly highlights (November 2004)
APHIS action: Final rule amending existing noxious weed regulations to regulate Senecio under 7 CFR 360

OPIS Pest Reports and Outcomes: Example
Pest: Bactrocera invadens (fruit fly)
First reported: Via OPIS, June 2004
• Unnamed species until 2005 publication;
• APHS track geographic expansion, host range
Potential impact identified: (Pre-clearance) imports from South Africa (ZAF)
APHIS action: • Communicate concern to ZAF NPPO (bilateral meeting) • Gauge South Africa's general ff surveillance procedures for phytosanitary
assurance
• Identify potential concerns against B. invadens (e.g. treatment efficacy)
