Imported Fire Ant Quarantined Areas

Özet

We are amending the imported fire ant regulations by designating all or portions of the following as quarantined areas: 5 counties in Arkansas, 6 counties in Georgia, 6 counties in Mississippi, 17 counties in North Carolina, 4 counties in Oklahoma, 4 counties in South Carolina, and 5 counties in Tennessee. This action expands the quarantined areas and imposes certain restrictions on the interstate movement of quarantined articles from those areas. This action is necessary to prevent the artificial spread of the imported fire ant to noninfested areas of the United States.
