Black Stem Rust; Movement Restrictions and Addition of Rust-Resistant Varieties

We are proposing to amend the black stem rust quarantine and regulations by changing the movement restrictions in order to allow clonally propagated offspring of rust-resistant Berberis cultivars to move into or through a protected area without completing the currently required 2-year growth period. This change would lessen an unnecessarily strict movement requirement. We also propose to add 13 varieties to the list of rust-resistant Berberis species. This change would allow for the interstate movement of these newly developed varieties without unnecessary restrictions.
