This is entirely out of curiosity, not the desire to have a permit.

 

Where exactly is the list for animals that require a PPQ 526? I know that covers most insects, but I was curious which ones. Can somebody give me a link to a document, web page, or PDF where I can find the list? Thanks.

Thanks. I am looking for a list of classes/families/orders that are classified as plant pests. I found it once, but haven't been able to again.

As far as I know the law is not structured in that manner at all.

Here is how the law defines plant pest:
 

(14) Plant pest.--The term ``plant pest'' means any living
stage of any of the following that can directly or indirectly
injure, cause damage to, or cause disease in any plant or plant
product:
(A) A protozoan.
( B) A nonhuman animal.
© A parasitic plant.
(D) A bacterium.
(E) A fungus.
(F) A virus or viroid.
(G) An infectious agent or other pathogen.
(H) Any article similar to or allied with any of the
articles specified in the preceding subparagraphs.

If you start the process of submitting a request for a permit, they will provide you a list of everything, which you can select from. Unfortunately the formatting on the page uses small boxes that you must scroll through, so sharing a picture of it in it's entirety isn't possible. Its also to long to remember and transcribe here. Sorry for the lack of help.

There is no list. It's entirely at the discretion of the Secretary of Agriculture's interpretation of the statute.  California, Florida, and some other states maintain lists for their own Agriculture Departments; but the federal government, as far as I know, does not.  That is not to say the feds maintain no lists—they do—for things like butterflies.  There is simply no exclusive, comprehensive public list at the national level.

 

That said, the high-level list Subverted posted does show "Family Formicidae," so evidently the Secretary believes all ants are very high risk organisms.

 

I am very sad to report that I accidentally burnt my toast while typing this response  :*(
