PPQ Databases: An Introduction Presented to ER Raleigh, NC July 14, 2009 Yu Takeuchi, G. Fowler, T. Kalaris PPQ CPHST

Overview of Presentation: Brief introduction of PPQ AQAS data systems Look at some CBP databases Brief introduction of APHIS databases

AQAS: Agriculture Quarantine Activity System Pest ID EAN: Emergency Action Notification WADS: Work Accomplished Data System PPQ 280/264 AQIM: Agricultural Quarantine Inspection Monitoring

AQAS: Pest ID Summarizes Port Interception Data Supports collection and dissemination of diagnostic results. Formerly PIN 309 (Pest Information Network) Records exotic pests found through inspections Lymantria dispar

AQAS: Pest ID Query Users can query data by US Region, State Original Country, Origin Region Pathway Location (CBP, PPQ) Date Inspectors Destination Host Where Intercepted (Baggage, General Cargo, etc.) Imported As (Bulb, Cut Flower, Fruit, Leaf, etc.) Pest (Type, Family, Genus)

AQAS Pest ID: Report Types Ad Hoc 309 Ad Hoc IBP View 309 Record View IBP Record Query Host Query Pests Carrier Commodity Risk Frequency Identification History Inspection History 309 Interception Summary Location List

AQAS Pest ID: Sample Results

AQAS: EAN EAN (Emergency Action Notification) Describes the nature of the action taken Treatment of articles, cargos, or carriers Destruction of articles or cargos within a specified period of time Reject All PPQ WR EANS now with spatial analysis (maps), but only for the WR. This functionality is available to the ER but a request must be made.

AQAS: EAN: Report Types Location List Port of Entry Data Entry Verification Report Port of Entry Daily Summary Domestic/Trade Compliance Data Entry Verification Domestic/Trade Compliance Daily Summary

AQAS: EAN Sample Results 1

AQAS: EAN Sample Results 2 Location: GA Atlanta January, 2009

AQAS: EAN Sample Results 3 Location: CA Long Beach CBP Date: January 1 31, 2008

AQAS: WADS WADS (Work Accomplished Data System) What the ports do (Activity List Report) Monthly summary

AQAS: WADS Report Types Activity List Activity Ranking Ad Hoc Query Analysis Comparison CBP Quarterly Report CBP Summary Report Activity Comparison Daily Summary by Rep. Site Location Default Activities Location List Monthly Activity Summary Monthly Sum by Rep. Site PPQ Summary Report

AQAS: WADS Sample Result

AQAS: PPQ 280: Types of Queries PPQ 280/264 (From forms 280 & 264) Commodities by Disposition Commodity List Commodity by Origin Daily Market News Data Entry Verification Location List Market News PPQ 264 Analysis PPQ 264 Notification Shipments by Disposition Summary by Reporting Site

AQAS: PPQ 280 Sample Results

AQAS: AQIM AQIM (Ag Quarantine Inspection Monitoring) The only statistically based sampling system Random Sampling of incoming cargo and passengers. Allows statistical estimates of approach rates and compliance. Goal: to give a more accurate estimate what is arriving at the ports.

AQAS: AQIM Sample Results

ACS (Automated Commercial System being replaced by ACE) ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) ATS (Advance Targeting System) TECS (Treasury Enforcement Communications System) ALL ABOVE REQUIRE SPECIAL AND SELECTIVE AUTHORIZATION TO ACCESS, i.e., not you! Mikell Tanner, ER.

CBP Databases ACS (Automated Commercial System being replaced by ACE) ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) ACS 1984 legacy. ACE is system currently used. Single source for cargo control and release Manifest screening Importers, exporters, customs brokers Ships, trains, planes, trucks, & pipelines

CBP Databases ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) Specific data on imports, shippers, destinations, individual containers, contents, route, etc. How many potato seed shipments from Alberta to U.S. in 2008?

CBP Databases ATS (Advance Targeting System) Specific information on cargo & passengers Containers Shipper Destination Individual risk profiles

CBP Databases TECS (Treasury Enforcement Communications System) Data more related to law enforcement: People Criminal records Vehicle ID Penalties

CBP Databases Summary Rich dataset with great potential Must query through regional staff (ER Mikell Tanner)

APHIS Databases and Resources GPDD (Global Pest and Disease Database) EPICA (Exotic Pest Information Collection and Analysis OPIS (Offshore Pest Information System) NPAG (New Pest Advisory Group) NAPIS (National Ag Pest Information System) ISIS (Integrated Survey Information System) PHIS (Plant Health Information System) SITC SNICAS (Smuggling and Interdiction Trade Compliance)

GPDD: Global Pest & Disease Database Assembled by CPHST PERAL Lab Single repository of exotic pest information for PPQ Attempt to prioritize pest threats Pest taxonomy, identification, biology, distribution, hosts, significance, detection and control. 1500+ pests not known to be in the US, or present with a limited distribution

GPDD: Goals Support pest risk assessments Provide focus on emerging pests Identify pests that are threatening the U.S. Orient development of risk mitigation Focus off shore surveys Focus port activities Emphasize taxonomic/diagnostic needs Focus domestic surveys for exotic pest

GPDD: Report GPDD Header Scientific Name Taxonomy EPICA APHIS Documents Synonyms Hosts Plant Part Affected Distribution Impact Import/Export Pathways Quarantine Monitor Images Biology Control Detection Sources

GPDD: Bactrocera invadens distribution

GPDD also includes Links to other sites: EPICA (Exotic Pest Information Collection and Analysis) OPIS (Offshore Pest Information System) CIPM (NSF Center for Integrated Pest Management) Bugwood Network (U. of Georgia) CABI Crop Protection Compendium

EPICA: EPICA (Exotic Pest Information Collection and Analysis) Two goals: 1. Bi weekly email of most relevant pest news. a. Web crawler b. Evaluated for importance 2. Web bases, searchable archive of notifications. Close interface with GPDD

OPIS: OPIS (Offshore Pest Information System) Information on offshore pests What s out there? Are foreign counties having outbreaks? List of key or target pests Density and distribution of priority target pests

NPAG: NPAG (New Pest Advisory Group) Organized through CPHST PERAL LAB Usually triggered by new pest discoveries (usually field, but also by Plant Inspection Station (PIS) reports) Experts from many areas Mission: The New Pest Advisory Group (NPAG) assess exotic plant pests that are new or imminent threats to U.S. agriculture or the environment and recommends appropriate actions to the Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) Deputy Administrator (DA).

Possible NPAG Recommendations Recommend the collection additional information. Conduct a survey to assess geographic range, host range, or damage. Develop methods to detect, identify, control, or eradicate the pest. Recommend action/no action. Eradicate the pest. Quarantine the infected or infested area. Evaluate biological or chemical control for pest management. Prepare and distribute educational information to the public. Recommend that PPQ refer options and actions to other institutions, such as affected states or industries

NAPIS: NAPIS (National Ag Pest Information System) Database that captures Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) data (state surveys) Legacy system (ca. 1980 s) from Purdue County level data Where a pest was found Where surveyed for Basic maps

APHIS Databases and Resources ISIS (Integrated Survey Information System) About 6 years old Field data collection system (PDAs) AND Database

APHIS Databases and Resources ISIS and NAPIS to be replaced

Plant Health Information System PHIS (Plant Health Information System) Data Management Systems that Gather quality information from PPQ operations Make information available to key regulatory partners and stakeholders Data system currently under development. Will be under development for several years. Will replace (include): NAPIS ISIS AQAS and others

APHIS Databases and Resources SITC SNICAS (Smuggling and Interdiction Trade Compliance) (SITC National Information, Communication & Activity System) Data about commodities, businesses, & their pathways, allowing SITC to identify and stop prohibited materials and locate high risk areas. To access, contact SITC ER (Camille Morris).

Thoughts on data quality of the resources Scientific questions about biology, taxonomy, distribution, hosts, etc GPDD, EPICA, OPIS, NPAG Rigorously cite sources (scientific evidence) Put up disclaimers when data is not verified or acknowledged Very highly reliable information

Thoughts on data quality of the resources Questions about trade: volumes, commodities, country of origin, seasonality PPQ 280 database CBP/Customs databases WADS Problem is that reliability is spotty and uncertainty is high Which is the best source?
