Citrus Canker Regulations

We are amending the citrus canker regulations to allow citrus fruit produced outside the quarantined areas to be moved into a quarantined area for packing and then moved from that quarantined area to any destination in the United States, including commercial citrus- producing areas. The citrus fruit produced outside the quarantined areas would have to be moved and handled according to specific conditions designed to prevent the artificial spread of citrus canker, including conditions to prevent its commingling with, and possible contamination by, citrus fruit produced within a quarantined area. We are taking this action to relieve unnecessary restrictions on regulated fruit originating outside a quarantined area but packed within a quarantined area.
