Pink Bollworm Regulated Areas

요약

We are adopting as a final rule, with changes, an interim rule that added Missouri to the list of States quarantined because of pink bollworm. In this final rule, we are removing the designation of the entire State of Missouri as a generally infested area as set forth in the interim rule, and are adding portions of Dunklin and New Madrid Counties in Missouri and all of Pemiscot County in that State to the list of suppressive areas. This action is necessary to prevent the interstate movement of pink bollworm into noninfested areas, and to relieve unnecessary restrictions on areas not infested with pink bollworm.
