Domestic Quarantine: Quarantined Areas and Regulated Articles
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are advising the public of the changes made to our lists of
domestic quarantined areas in the past year. These changes may be
viewed on the relevant plant pest programs' websites.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Derek A. Woller, Senior Regulatory
Policy Specialist, RCC, IRM, PEIP, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road,
Riverdale, MD 20737-1228; (480) 490-6454; <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#94d0f1e6f1ffbad5bac3fbf8f8f1e6d4e1e7f0f5baf3fbe2"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3e7a5b4c5b55107f10695152525b4c7e4b4d5a5f10595148">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The regulations in 7 CFR part 301 are
designed to prevent the interstate spread of plant pests that are new
to or not widely distributed within the United States. Subparts C
through X (Sec. Sec. 301.32 through 301.92-12, referred to below as
the regulations) each address a specific plant pest and contain
criteria for designating certain areas of the United States as
quarantined areas \1\ for the specific plant pest. The regulations
restrict the interstate movement of certain regulated articles from
quarantined areas in order to prevent the spread of plant pests to
noninfected areas of the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Certain subparts refer to quarantined areas as ``regulated
areas,'' ``protected areas,'' or ``suppressive/generally infested
areas.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 29, 2022, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) published in the Federal Register a final rule (Docket
No. APHIS-2019-0035, 87 FR 80002-80019), effective January 30, 2023,
that moved certain lists of quarantined areas and regulated articles
from the regulations to web pages maintained by APHIS. In accordance
with the final rule, APHIS keeps updated lists of quarantined areas on
the relevant plant pest programs' websites, which are listed in the
relevant subpart of the regulations. When a change to the status of a
plant pest threat occurs, APHIS takes appropriate action to add,
expand, remove, or reduce a quarantined area, and the relevant APHIS
plant pest program updates the web-based list of quarantined areas for
their program. APHIS also publishes a yearly notice informing the
public of all updates to quarantined areas that have occurred since
publication of the last notice informing the public of such updates.
Since our last action \2\ informing the public of updates to our
lists of quarantined areas, the following actions revising our lists of
quarantined areas have been taken. Updated lists of quarantined areas
are available on the relevant plant pest programs' websites.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ In this case, the last action informing the public of
updates to quarantined areas was the final rule (Docket No. APHIS-
2019-0035, 87 FR 80002-80019) published in the Federal Register on
December 29, 2022. Please note that since the rule was issued, APHIS
has replatformed its websites for domestic quarantine programs. For
ease of access, direct links to each replatformed page are provided
as footnotes in this document.
