ACTION:
Affirmation of interim rule as
final rule.
Management and Budget has waived its
review under Executive Order 12866.
SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final
rule, without change, an interim rule
that amended the citrus canker
regulations by updating the list of areas
in the State of Florida quarantined
because of citrus canker. The interim
rule expanded one established
quarantined area, added several new
quarantine areas, and removed a portion
of one quarantined area. These actions
were necessary to prevent the spread of
citrus canker into noninfested areas of
the United States and to relieve
restrictions that were no longer
warranted.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule affirms an interim rule that
amended the regulations by updating
the list of areas in the State of Florida
quarantined because of citrus canker.
The interim rule added three new
quarantined areas based on the disease’s
discovery in the Burnt Store and the
Farabee Grade quarantined areas in
Charlotte County and the Collier
quarantined area in Collier and Hendry
Counties. The interim rule also
expanded the area covered by the
DeSoto B quarantined area in DeSoto
County. The interim rule imposed
certain restrictions on the interstate
movement of regulated articles from and
through these quarantined areas. The
interim rule also removed the
quarantined area in Manatee County
from the list of areas quarantined for
citrus canker. Therefore, the interim
rule was necessary to prevent the spread
of citrus canker into noninfested areas
of the United States and to remove
unnecessary restrictions. The following
analysis addresses the economic effect
of the interim rule on small entities, as
required by the Regulatory Flexibility
Act.
Citrus canker is a bacterial disease
causing lesions on the leaves, stems and
fruit of citrus trees. The lesions allow
the bacterium to reproduce in moistureenriched environments. The bacteria
that cause citrus canker can seep from
the lesions and spread to other trees
and, ultimately, other groves. The main
contributing factors in the spread of
citrus canker are contact by grove
workers and equipment and winddriven rain. Citrus varieties have
varying degrees of susceptibility to the
disease. For example, grapefruit
varieties are more vulnerable to the
spread of citrus canker than some
varieties of oranges, such as Valencia
oranges.
Costs incurred because of citrus
canker derive both from the damage
caused by the disease as well as from
private, State, and Federal funds
expended on control measures. Among
the reported costs are public
expenditures for eradication and for
compensation of affected growers.
Approximately $600 million has been
devoted to eradicating citrus canker.
Compensation payments by APHIS to
affected growers over the past 4 fiscal
years have totaled $105.2 million. The
first round of payments for fiscal years
2000 and 2001 totaled $76.8 million.
Payments for fiscal years 2003 and 2004
were $11.8 million and $16.6 million,
respectively. The interim rule expanded
The interim rule became
effective on February 25, 2005.

Background
In an interim rule effective and
published in the Federal Register on
February 25, 2005 (70 FR 9207–9210,
Docket No. 05–005–1), we amended the
regulations in ‘‘Subpart—Citrus Canker’’
(7 CFR 301.75 through 301.75–16) by
updating the list in § 301.75–4 of areas
in the State of Florida quarantined
because of citrus canker. Specifically, to
reflect the detection of citrus canker in
an area adjacent to, but outside of, one
current quarantined area in Florida, as
well as in three additional areas, we
expanded the boundaries of one existing
quarantined area in DeSoto County and
added several new areas in Charlotte,
Collier, and Hendry Counties to the list
of quarantined areas. We also removed
portions of Manatee County from the list
of quarantined areas because regular
surveys showed them to have been free
of citrus canker for at least 2 years.
These actions were necessary to prevent
the spread of citrus canker into
noninfested areas of the United States
and to relieve restrictions that were no
longer warranted.
Comments on the interim rule were
required to be received on or before
April 26, 2005. We did not receive any
comments. Therefore, for the reasons
given in the interim rule, we are
adopting the interim rule as a final rule.
This action also affirms the
information contained in the interim
rule concerning Executive Order 12866,
Executive Orders 12372 and 12988, and
the Paperwork Reduction Act. Further,
for this action, the Office of

the list of quarantined areas in an effort
to thwart the spread of citrus canker to
other citrus-producing areas of the
United States. The objective is to control
the spread of citrus canker and thereby
minimize its costs to private and public
entities, as described above.
The small business size standard
identified by the Small Business
Association (SBA), based upon the
North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) codes 111310 (orange
groves) and 111320 (other citrus not
oranges), is $750,000 or less in annual
receipts. The interim rule affected a
total of eight growers and six harvesters.
One grower and four harvesters are
located in the Collier quarantined area.
In the Burnt Store quarantined area, the
interim rule affected two growers and
two harvesters; however, they are not
harvesting this year. In the DeSoto B
quarantine expansion, five growers are
included in the quarantine expansion;
three of these growers, however, were
already affected by the same or other
quarantine zones. No packinghouses or
other affected businesses are located
within this expanded quarantined area.
Although the size of these affected
entities is unknown, it is reasonable to
assume that most are small in size
according to the SBA’s standards.
Based on the experiences of citrus
growers and harvesters in areas
previously placed under quarantine,
APHIS does not expect compliance with
these restrictions on the movement of
regulated fruit from the newly
quarantined areas to have a significant
economic effect on small entities in the
three newly quarantined areas. An
alternative to this rule would be to leave
the regulations unchanged. However,
failing to include these new areas in the
regulations would be an unsatisfactory
decision. As citrus canker can be
transmitted by human means and via
wind-driven rain, choosing to leave the
regulations unchanged would likely
lead to the spread of the disease from
these areas to other citrus-producing
areas.
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.

Phytophthora Ramorum; Vacuum Heat
Treatment for Bay Leaves
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We are amending the
phytosanitary treatments regulations to
allow leaves of the California bay laurel
(Umbellularia californica) to be treated
with vacuum heat before being moved
interstate from any area quarantined
because of Phytophthora ramorum. This
action will provide an alternative to the
hot water dip that had been the only
approved treatment for the greenery of
host plants, which include California
bay laurel leaves, but that ruined the
suitability of the leaves for use as a
dried spice.
DATES: Effective June 23, 2005.

James Writer, Assistant P. ramorum

Pest Management, PPQ, APHIS, 4700

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The regulations in ‘‘SubpartPhytophthora Ramorum’’ (7 CFR 301.92
through 301.92–11, referred to below as
the regulations) list 10 counties in
California and a portion of Curry County
in Oregon as quarantined areas due to
the presence of Phytophthora ramorum
and restrict the interstate movement of
regulated articles from those areas.
Regulated articles are identified in
§ 301.92–2 of the regulations.
In subsequent Federal Orders, the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
VerDate jul<14>2003
19:30 Jun 22, 2005
Jkt 205001
Service (APHIS) expanded the list of
quarantined areas to include Contra
Costa, Humboldt, Lake, and San
Francisco Counties, CA, as well as
another portion of Curry County, OR,
and expanded the list of regulated
articles to include additional confirmed
hosts of P. ramorum.
The regulations in § 301.92–10
provide treatments that may be used to
qualify regulated articles for interstate
movement from quarantined areas. For
unprocessed wreaths, garlands, and
greenery of host plants, the only
approved treatment has consisted of a
hot water dip for 1 hour at a sustained
temperature of at least 160 °F. However,
this treatment is not a viable option for
treating leaves from the California bay
laurel (Umbellularia californica), as it
ruins the leaves for their intended use
as a dried spice.
On February 8, 2005, we published in
the Federal Register (70 FR 6596–6598,
Docket No. 04–092–1) a proposal to
amend the Plant Protection and
Quarantine Treatment Manual (PPQ
Treatment Manual), which was
incorporated by reference in the Code of
Federal Regulations, to allow leaves of
the California bay laurel to be treated
with vacuum heat before being moved
interstate from any area quarantined
because of P. ramorum. In addition to
adding this vacuum heat treatment
schedule, which we would have
designated as T101-m-2–1–2, to the PPQ
Treatment Manual, we also proposed
amending the PPQ Treatment Manual’s
incorporation by reference in 7 CFR part
300.1 to reflect the date of the
treatment’s inclusion in the manual, and
the list of accepted treatments in
§ 301.92–10 to include any treatments
authorized for use on P. ramorum that
are listed in the PPQ Treatment Manual.
We solicited comments concerning
our proposal for 60 days ending April
11, 2005. We received one comment by
that date, from a spice trade association.
The commenter was in favor of
amending the regulations to allow
California bay laurel leaves to be treated
with vacuum heat before moving
interstate from areas quarantined
because of P. ramorum.
In the proposed rule, we proposed
adding the vacuum heat treatment for
bay leaves to the PPQ Treatment
Manual. However on June 7, 2005, we
published in the Federal Register a final
rule (70 FR 33264–33326, Docket No.
02–019–1) that removed the PPQ
Treatment Manual’s incorporation by
reference and relocated the portions of
the PPQ Treatment Manual that
prescribe treatment schedules,
instructions for administering the
treatments, and requirements for
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
certification of facilities that administer
the treatments to 7 CFR part 305,
‘‘Phytosanitary Treatments.’’ Therefore,
in this final rule, we are adding the
vacuum heat treatment for bay leaves to
part 305 rather than the PPQ Treatment
Manual.
In addition, in the proposed rule, the
vacuum heat treatment for use on bay
leaves was given the designation T101m-2–1–2, but the T101 numbering series
is used to refer to fumigation treatments.
As the vacuum heat treatment described
in the proposed rule and this final rule
is not a fumigation treatment, we are
designating the treatment as T111-a-1
and are adding it to the regulations as
a new § 305.29 in the ‘‘Heat Treatments’’
subpart.
Therefore, for the reasons given in the
proposed rule and in this document, we
are adopting the proposed rule as a final
rule, with the changes discussed in this
document.
Effective Date
This is a substantive rule that relieves
restrictions and, pursuant to the
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553, may be made
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
Immediate implementation of this rule
is necessary to provide relief to those
persons who are adversely affected by
restrictions we no longer find
warranted. The regulations have
required that the greenery of P.
ramorum host plants, which include
California bay laurel, grown in a
quarantined area be treated with a hot
water dip before being moved interstate
from a quarantined area. Making this
rule effective immediately will provide
entities that produce and market spices
with an alternative treatment for bay
laurel leaves produced in areas
quarantined because of P. ramorum that
will not render the leaves unsuitable for
their intended use as a dried spice.
Therefore, the Administrator of the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service has determined that this rule
should be effective upon publication in
the Federal Register.
Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory
Flexibility Act
This rule has been reviewed under
Executive Order 12866. For this action,
the Office of Management and Budget
has waived its review under Executive
Order 12866.
This final rule amends the
phytosanitary treatments regulations to
allow leaves of the California bay laurel
to be treated with vacuum heat before
being moved interstate from any area
quarantined because of P. ramorum.
This action will provide an alternative

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In an interim rule effective and published in the Federal Register
on February 25, 2005 (70 FR 9207-9210, Docket No. 05-005-1), we amended
the regulations in ``Subpart--Citrus Canker'' (7 CFR 301.75 through
301.75-16) by updating the list in Sec. 301.75-4 of areas in the State
of Florida quarantined because of citrus canker. Specifically, to

12988, and the Paperwork Reduction Act. Further, for this action, the
Office of Management and Budget has waived its review under Executive
Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule affirms an interim rule that amended the regulations by
updating the list of areas in the State of Florida quarantined because
of citrus canker. The interim rule added three new quarantined areas
based on the disease's discovery in the Burnt Store and the Farabee
Grade quarantined areas in Charlotte County and the Collier quarantined
area in Collier and Hendry Counties. The interim rule also expanded the
area covered by the DeSoto B quarantined area in DeSoto County. The
interim rule imposed certain restrictions on the interstate movement of
regulated articles from and through these quarantined areas. The
interim rule also removed the quarantined area in Manatee County from
the list of areas quarantined for citrus canker. Therefore, the interim
rule was necessary to prevent the spread of citrus canker into
noninfested areas of the United States and to remove unnecessary
restrictions. The following analysis addresses the economic effect of
the interim rule on small entities, as required by the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Citrus canker is a bacterial disease causing lesions on the leaves,
stems and fruit of citrus trees. The lesions allow the bacterium to
reproduce in moisture-enriched environments. The bacteria that cause
citrus canker can seep from the lesions and spread to other trees and,
ultimately, other groves. The main contributing factors in the spread
of citrus canker are contact by grove workers and equipment and wind-
driven rain. Citrus varieties have varying degrees of susceptibility to
the disease. For example, grapefruit varieties are more vulnerable to
the spread of citrus canker than some varieties of oranges, such as
Valencia oranges.
Costs incurred because of citrus canker derive both from the damage
caused by the disease as well as from private, State, and Federal funds
expended on control measures. Among the reported costs are public
expenditures for eradication and for compensation of affected growers.
Approximately $600 million has been devoted to eradicating citrus
canker. Compensation payments by APHIS to affected growers over the
past 4 fiscal years have totaled $105.2 million. The first round of
payments for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 totaled $76.8 million. Payments
for fiscal years 2003 and 2004 were $11.8 million and $16.6 million,
respectively. The interim rule expanded the list of quarantined areas
in an effort to thwart the spread of citrus canker to other citrus-
producing areas of the United States. The objective is to control the
spread of citrus canker and thereby minimize its costs to private and
public entities, as described above.
The small business size standard identified by the Small Business
Association (SBA), based upon the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes 111310 (orange groves) and 111320
(other citrus not oranges), is $750,000 or less in annual receipts. The
interim rule affected a total of eight growers and six harvesters. One
grower and four harvesters are located in the Collier quarantined area.
In the Burnt Store quarantined area, the interim rule affected two
growers and two harvesters; however, they are not harvesting this year.
In the DeSoto B quarantine expansion, five growers are included in the
quarantine expansion; three of these growers, however, were already
affected by the same or other quarantine zones. No packinghouses or
other affected businesses are located within this expanded quarantined
area. Although the size of these affected entities is unknown, it is
reasonable to assume that most are small in size according to the SBA's

Based on the experiences of citrus growers and harvesters in areas
previously placed under quarantine, APHIS does not expect compliance
with these restrictions on the movement of regulated fruit from the
newly quarantined areas to have a significant economic effect on small
entities in the three newly quarantined areas. An alternative to this
rule would be to leave the regulations unchanged. However, failing to
include these new areas in the regulations would be an unsatisfactory
decision. As citrus canker can be transmitted by human means and via
