ACTION: Affirmation of interim rule as final rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the Asian longhorned beetle regulations by removing portions of Cook and DuPage Counties, IL, from the list of quarantined areas and removing restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from those areas. The interim rule was based on our determination that the Asian longhorned beetle no longer presents a risk of spread from those areas and that the quarantine and restrictions are no longer necessary. DATES: The interim rule became effective on April 21, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Michael B. Stefan, Director, Pest Detection and Management Programs, Emergency Programs, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 134, Riverdale, MD 20737–1231; (301) 734–7338. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Background The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) regulations in 7 CFR 301.51–1 through 301.51–9 (referred to below as the regulations) restrict the interstate movement of regulated articles from quarantined areas to prevent the artificial spread of ALB to noninfested areas of the United States. Portions of Illinois, New Jersey, and New York are designated as quarantined areas. Quarantined areas are listed in § 301.51–3 of the regulations. In an interim rule effective April 21, 2005, and published in the Federal Register on April 26, 2005 (70 FR 21326–21328, Docket No. 05–011–1), we amended the regulations by removing portions of Cook and DuPage Counties, IL, from the list of quarantined areas. That action, which was based on our determination that the ALB no longer presents a risk of spread from those areas, removed restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from those areas. Comments on the interim rule were required to be received on or before June 27, 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 Orders 12866, 12372, and 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 removing portions of Cook and DuPage Counties, IL, from the list of areas quarantined for ALB. We took that action based on our determination that ALB no longer presents a risk of spread from those areas. The interim rule relieved restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from those areas. The following analysis addresses the economic effects of the interim rule on small entities, as required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The small businesses potentially affected by the interim rule are nurseries, arborists, tree removal services, and firewood dealers located within the areas removed from the list of quarantined areas. The actual number of such businesses in those E:\FR\FM\09AUR1.SGM 09AUR1
