Interstate Movements of Imported Plants and Plant Parts

Résumé

We are proposing to establish a new domestic quarantine notice. This domestic quarantine notice would provide that, subsequent to their importation, plants and plant parts prohibited under foreign quarantine notices from being imported into certain States or areas are also prohibited from being moved interstate into those States or areas. This action would strengthen our ability to enforce restrictions on the movement in commerce of plants and plant parts that present a risk of introducing foreign plant pests and diseases. In conjunction with this action, we also propose to remove a domestic quarantine notice that prohibits certain interstate movements of Unshu oranges subsequent to their importation into the United States, because the proposed domestic quarantine notice would make a specific one for Unshu oranges unnecessary.
