Consolidation of the Fruit Fly Regulations

We are proposing to consolidate our domestic regulations regarding exotic fruit flies. Currently, these regulations are contained in six separate subparts, each of which covers a different species of fruit fly, and each of these subparts has parallel sections that are substantially the same as the corresponding sections in the other subparts. Therefore, we are proposing to combine these six subparts into a single subpart. We are also proposing to modify the regulations by adding a mechanism through which quarantined areas can be removed from the regulations as quickly as they are added. These proposed changes would eliminate duplication and enhance the flexibility of the regulations.
