Title: Citrus Greening and Asian Citrus Psyllid; Quarantine and Interstate Movement Regulations | |
Abstract: This rulemaking will establish regulations that designate the States of Florida and Georgia, Puerto Rico, two parishes in Louisiana, and two counties in South Carolina as quarantined areas for citrus greening and Alabama, Florida, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, three counties in South Carolina, portions of one county in Arizona, and all of three and portions of an additional three counties in California as quarantined areas for Asian citrus psyllid, a vector of a bacterium that causes citrus greening. It also establishes restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from the quarantined areas, as well as treatments under which Asian Citrus psyllid host material may be moved interstate from a quarantined area. These actions follow the discovery of citrus greening and/or Asian citrus psyllid in the quarantined areas, and are necessary in order to prevent the spread of the disease and its vector to noninfested areas of the United States. | |
