夏威夷外来物种进口规则书面证词10月26日截止：午夜前可提交，听证会在次日檀香山举行
夏威夷州居民如果想就两项外来物种进口规则修改提交书面证词，截止时间是 10 月26 日周一夏威夷时间深夜 11 时 59分，逾期提交将不被计入这次规则制定的记录。这次修改由夏威夷州农业与生物安全部的植物检疫处负责听证，主管机关是农业与生物安全委员会，涉及的是《夏威夷行政规则》第 4-71 章和第 4-71A章的清单调整。其中一项提议是把 7 种昆虫和鱼类列入受限动物清单，另一项则是把贝弗里亚菌ANT-03菌株从受限微生物清单中移出，列入非受限清单。清单位置的变化直接影响相关物种进入夏威夷时需要的许可与保障措施，而作为岛屿州，夏威夷的农业、本土生态系统、水产养殖和公共卫生对外来物种的引入都格外敏感，这正是规则制定要谨慎的原因。混合听证会定在 10 月 27 日周二下午 6 时至 8时，在檀香山 Auiki 街 1849号的植物检疫会议室举行，同时提供线上参与方式，但通知明确说明，不出席听证会也可以提交书面证词。居民提交时应通过通知中公布的电邮、传真或邮寄渠道，写明所涉章节与物种、引用的清单条目，以及希望作出的更正、保障措施或解释，并在口头作证前向工作人员登记。
Written Testimony Deadline for Hawaii's Alien Species Import Rule Changes Is October 26: Submit by Midnight, Hearing the Next Day in Honolulu
Hawaii residents who wish to submit written testimony on two proposed changes to the state's alien species import rules have until 11:59 p.m. Hawaii time on Monday, October 26; late submissions will not be included in the record for this rulemaking. The changes are being heard by the Plant Quarantine Branch of the Hawaii Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity, under the authority of the Board of Agriculture and Biosecurity, and involve list adjustments in Chapters 4-71 and 4-71A of the Hawaii Administrative Rules. One proposal would place seven insect and fish species on the restricted animal list, while the other would move the Beauveria fungus strain ANT-03 from the restricted microorganism list to the nonrestricted list. A species' placement on these lists directly affects the permits and safeguards required for it to enter Hawaii, and as an island state, Hawaii's agriculture, native ecosystems, aquaculture, and public health are especially sensitive to the introduction of alien species — which is precisely why the rulemaking must proceed with care. A hybrid hearing is set for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, October 27, in the Plant Quarantine conference room at 1849 Auiki Street in Honolulu, with an online participation option; the notice makes clear that written testimony may be submitted without attending the hearing. Residents submitting testimony should use the email, fax, or mailing channels published in the notice, specify the chapters and species involved and the list entries cited, and state the corrections, safeguards, or explanations they are seeking; those testifying orally should register with staff before testifying.
