Imported Fire Ant Quarantined Areas

We are adopting as a final rule, without change, two interim rules that amended the imported fire ant regulations by designating as quarantined areas all or portions of 9 counties in Arkansas, 10 counties in North Carolina, 3 counties in Oklahoma, 5 counties in South Carolina, 15 counties in Tennessee, and 13 counties in Texas. The interim rules were necessary in order to impose certain restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from these areas to prevent the artificial spread of the imported fire ant to noninfested areas of the United States.
