Yay! And when is this issue scheduled to be sent out (for those of us
not foreign seed donors)?
I went to the APHIS/PPQ website earlier this week to see if they had
any information there yet. After searching all over I've concluded
that they hadn't updated the website with information or forms for
this yet, although I did see an unlinked link about it on one of the
pages. (I also tried to sign up for the electronic submission of
forms and the final step requires one to show up in person at a USDA
office that accepts this kind of verification with government ID in
hand. Unfortunately, the two listed for people living in Los Angeles
County are far away from the metropolitan area. And they have to be
visited during weekday business hours, making this a really
bothersome, if not somewhat difficult, step to accomplish for the
likes of me.)
