Title: Citrus Canker; Quarantine of the State of Florida
Abstract: This action follows an interim rule that amended the citrus canker regulations to list the entire State of Florida as a quarantined area for citrus canker and amended the requirements for the movement of regulated articles from Florida now that the eradication of citrus canker in Florida is no longer being carried out as an objective. It also amended the regulations to allow regulated articles that would not otherwise be eligible for interstate movement to be moved to a port for immediate export. These changes were necessary in light of the Departments determination that the established eradication program was no longer a scientifically feasible option to address citrus canker.
