The Federally Recognized State Managed Phytosanitary Program

The Federally Recognized State Managed Phytosanitary (FRSMP, pronounced “free-stamp”) program establishes a process for granting Federal recognition to certain state-managed plant pest programs.  This Federal recognition justifies actions ordered by officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) if a pest under the FRSMP program is intercepted at a U.S. port of entry.
