Title: Citrus Canker; Interstate Movement of Regulated Nursery Stock From Quarantined Areas 
Abstract: This rulemaking will amend the citrus canker quarantine regulations to explicitly prohibit, with limited exceptions, the interstate movement of regulated nursery stock from a quarantined area and remove calamondin plants from a protocol allowing the limited interstate movement of calamondin and kumquat plants. We decided to provide for the interstate movement of calamondin and kumquat plants based on their apparent resistance to citrus canker. However, we have since discovered calamondin plants affected with citrus canker. This action is necessary to clarify our regulations and to address the risk associated with the interstate movement of regulated nursery stock from areas quarantined for citrus canker.
