Title: ●Phytophthora Ramorum; Regulated Areas, Regulated Establishments, and Testing Protocols | |
Abstract:
This rulemaking will amend the Phytophthora ramorum regulations to remove regulated areas for Phytophthora ramorum from the regulations, as well as all regulatory requirements specific to such areas. The rule also amends the regulations to revise inspection and sampling requirements for certain nurseries that are in areas quarantined for Phytophthora ramorum and that ship regulated nursery stock interstate. It changes the nature of the inspection and sampling requirements to have them take into consideration additional potential sources of Phytophthora ramorum inoculum at the nurseries. Finally, it establishes conditions under which we will regulate nurseries that are located outside of the quarantined areas for Phytophthora ramorum, if sources of Phytophthora ramorum inoculum are detected at those nurseries and the nurseries ship certain articles interstate. We are making these changes on an immediate basis to provide regulatory relief to nurseries in areas that were regulated for Phytophthora ramorum, while also ensuring that nurseries that may pose a risk of disseminating Phytophthora ramorum through the interstate movement of regulated nursery stock are subject to measures that address this risk. |
