Domestic Quarantine: Quarantined Areas and Regulated Articles
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.

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.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with the regulations, 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 notice \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. For ease
of access, direct links to each page are provided as footnotes in this
document.
