Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule for Surety Requirements, 10862 [05-4323]

Download as PDF 10862 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 43 / Monday, March 7, 2005 / Rules and Regulations This action amends the Oriental fruit fly regulations by removing a portion of Los Angeles County, CA, from the list of quarantined areas. County records indicate there are approximately 23 nurseries, 27 farmers markets, 4 certified growers, 3 mobile vendors, and 152 fruit sellers within the quarantined portion of Los Angeles County that could be affected by the lifting of the quarantine in this interim rule. We expect that the effect of this interim rule on the small entities referred to above will be minimal. Small entities located within the quarantined area that sell regulated articles do so primarily for local intrastate, not interstate, movement, so the effect, if any, of this rule on these entities appears likely to be minimal. In addition, the effect on any small entities that may move regulated articles interstate has been minimized during the quarantine period by the availability of various treatments that allow these small entities, in most cases, to move regulated articles interstate with very little additional cost. Thus, just as the previous interim rule establishing the quarantined area in Los Angeles County, CA, had little effect on the small entities in the area, the lifting of the quarantine in the current interim rule will also have little effect. Under these circumstances, the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
